Ive been with my b\f for 7years now.I'm 23 now,he's 7yrs older than me.For the first 4 years our family's had issues with us being together.we moved in together only 3months into it while i was living with a girl friend.its had its up and downs but has been a great life.my advice to you would have to be,that you continue strong in the relationship that you have,don't worry to much about the negativity that continues to linger around you and your man.If he makes you happy and you know that he is all good for you,then you have nothing to worry about.wish you all the best....

I don't see any problem here! When I was 21 I was seeing a guy who was 30 (it wasn't love or sth, but kind of man-woman friendship) - and really, the age gap is nothing, all depends on your character. He lead some kind of a 'student's life', felt and looked really young, etc. Well, maybe it was OK because I'm pretty mature - I'm quite serious, I mean, and not so crazy...;)
When I was younger I even preferred the older guys. Now I'm 23 and it would be normal and natural for me to see a guy being 29, even 30. Of course, it would be now easier to be with someone younger, just because guys over 24 become more serious;)
And one more thing. I'm 23. This year it's been 27 years since my parents got married. They are not a great couple, just because my dad is really dynamic, get nervous fast (like me:), and mum is very calm, but sometimes she just feels sick of it;) However - in a marriage there are many different situations like that... Nothing ever has been connected with the age gap!
Dad is 20 y older than mum!:)))
SO - don't worry! Everything is normal!

Look, love is not an age, it's a person. Even though you are at different stages of life, he could be "the one" if he is more mature, or conversely, you are a bit immature. Ignore everyone else and follow your heart - unless you can't go on without a man in your life. Then I would reevaluate and figure out why you need one to bolster your sense of self-worth. Good luck!

Age is just an insignificant number, atleast in your case. It doesn't matter. Do what you like. But be prepared to adjust and co-operate enough in some circumstances. Good luck!

There can be issues if your both have too big of a life experience gap. It's like a 40 year old guy with a 19 year old girl. he may like her because he feels like her know-it-all father to her, and she looks up to him as the wise mature man. He may not really see her as an adult, and she may never see him as a person on her level. They might not have enough in common due to the gap of experience in life. Not saying thats always the case, just stating one reason it could be a problem.

Your age difference is very little however letting a guy you have been dating only 4 months move in with you could be a PROBLEM!

I once dated someone 8 years older than me, and just about everyone but him and myself had a problem with it. I know it gets very difficult and frustrating at times. If your happy, stay with him. Your friends, family etc. will eventually get used to it.

Age does not denote maturity. Is he mature enough to handle a relationship? If he is, then don't bother with what people say. As long as you love each other.

No this is not a big deal at all. Age is just a number. There is 8 years diff between me and my fiance. As long as you are in love that's all that should matter.
