i am happier dating a man who is at least as mature as i. it's hard to find that in a younger man, especially at your young age.

I think it is fine to date younger men. I lived with someone 9 years younger for a long time, we separated but not over an age issue. I think huge age gaps can cause problems but 6 years is no time at all and if it was the other way round and you were 6 years younger than him would you even be asking the question? I think you should chill out and enjoy the relationship for what is is, and stop lying about his age, cos if I was him I'd find that really insulting!

Well, I'm dating a guy who's 3 years younger than me. At the beginning, just like every other relationship, things are smooth sailing. But now that it's been 1 year, I've found out more things about him, and it's making me realize that we're just in two different places. And it's difficult to compromise between the two. I can totally relate to how you feel, being embarrassed about his age, I do that too. When my friends ask me how old he is, I'm like we're the same age, or his just a year older than me. The only people that know his real age are 2 of my best friends and my brother. They're all supportive about it, but now I just came to realize that, this, is not gonna work out. I know it really depends on each couple, but in my case it's just not gonna go any further. And, for me, it's better to stop now instead of going on and end up getting hurt even more.
Hope this helps, good luck! :)

Alot of people say that age is just a number, and to some that may hold true. However, I once dated a guy who was 5 years younger than me and it was a complete disaster. At first he seemed charming and sweet, but once you finally say ok...this age doesn't matter, the real guy comes out. Not to scare you but once men think that they're safe, typically they tend to act their age. Immature, and completely different than the person you thought you knew.
Dating someone that is maybe 3 years younger should be ok, because they are closer to your generation and may have picked up the trick of the trade. So in my opinion, a guy that is 6 years younger than you won't work out. But good luck just the same....

U shouldnt feel embarrassed. Age is just a number, and if both parties are over 18 then there's no legal issues. I dated a 37 year old when i was 20!! My advice would be to get past the "highschoolish behavor" and go on with the relationship. Goodluck!

I dated a younger guy once and it didn't work out because I got bored.
I'm dating a younger guy now, and it's cool - but he is definitely less experienced than I am. It's working for the moment, but it's only been a week so who knows.
I've also dated older guys where it didn't work out either.
It's all about what you want out the relationship. If it works, go with it. If not, let it go. I wouldn't put too much emphasis on his age though. It really is only a #. Go w/how you feel about him, not his age.

i imagine it truly is positive to this aspect youthful adult males. I lived with someone 9 years youthful for a lengthy time period, we separated yet no longer over an age project. i imagine huge age gaps may reason complications yet 6 years isn't any time in any respect and if it replaced into any incorrect way round and also you've been 6 years youthful than him would you also be asking the question? i imagine you need to relax and earnings from the relationship for what's is, and end mendacity about his age, cos if i replaced into him i'd locate that somewhat insulting!

If you are feeling so uncomfortable then you can forget about the whole thing. It is bothering you. I have dated a guy who is younger than me and I couldn't take the comments that came. Guys that age are also very childish.

Age aint nothing but a number, if he is 20 and acts like he is 13, then you have a problem, but if he is 20 and carries himself like a mature adult then date and see what happens....

Age is just a number--it is not that big of a deal.If you are embarrassed and lie about his age--you must have some reservations. about it yourself. Why be that way?? It is not fair to him for you to be acting this way.
