Two years is nothing! What I think is awful is when a person, say 45 wants to date a 25 year old. We all know when younger women go for these old fools there is one reason.....MONEY! I don't think they work out in the long run because the woman is only in it for the bucks. What else could she be attracted to? An expanding waist, male pattern baldness, dentures? YUCK! Also, they are coming from a different generation and have nothing in common. The same is true for a guy young enough to be a woman's son. It would feel awful if everyone thought I were some guy's mother! I know these things must seem exciting but I think one is better off to stick with someone of the same generation. No more than 10 years either way. Too many odds are against relationships these days to add the age factor!

I feel you're justified for your predicament on your sister, however your approaches are wrong. If you happen to relatively want to aid her, scheming and looking to prove that there may be anything wrong with her boyfriend will not be easy methods to go about it. It's going to only push her faraway from you and more commonly into his hands, if best just out of stripling spite. You are 20. You're her sister. You reside in one more city. Love it or no longer, she is just not your accountability, and despite the fact that she is not 18 but, she's not a little one both. You would kindly and casually tell her that you are a little bit concerned in regards to the gigantic age change between her and her BF, and then let her take it from there. If she will get protecting, drop it. The great factor you are able to do for your sister right now could be show her that she can normally depend on you to support her, no matter what, so that if the time comes that her BF proves to be what you believe, she'll understand as a minimum that she can flip to you with out judgement. If she feels that it can be you towards her (and him), she might think trapped with out any person to turn to. Good good fortune!

Of course!! Although men mature much slower than women it shouldn't be such an issue now. If the guy doesn't have a problem with it, you shouldn't either. I have a friend that married a guy four years younger and she's still self conscious about it years later, but no one else thinks anything about it. Also consider that no one would question this scenario if it was the guy that was older. So--get over the self conscious feeling about age and have fun.

If you want to, go for it. I never liked dating guys my own age or younger - I always went for the older ones. Now I'm 28, married and my hubby is 8 years older.
I wouldn't go younger then 26 if I were you.

I think that as long as the two in the relationship are true to one another then there should be no problem. As long as you don't listen to any other person's rude, yet jealous remarks then, YEA! My sister married a man 7 years younger than her. They've been married 13 years!

As long as it's legal then I'm sure it's okay. Personally, I'm not into dating younger men. My mom is 10 years older than my dad, :S

yes but 3 years younger is asking for trouble. Besides you might be hard pressed to find a 25 yo guy who wants to date an old woman.

Why do we put barriers up and ask these questions!!!
If you like/love him go for it.
In an age where mixed race, younger/older, same sex etc relationships are more acceptable the questions dont even need to be asked.
Clearly a yes vote from me.

I think it is absolutely fine for a woman to date someone younger than them (as long as they are not minors, then they shouldn’t have to be off limits). It’s also very trendy and hot (ex: Ashton K and Demi M), I think it shows that a woman has a lot of confidences in herself and doesn’t care what the rest of the world thinks!

Sure! I think it depends on the maturity level of the guy. My friend, who is 30, married a guy who is 25. They are happy and were together for four years before they married. Mostly, I think it matters if you are compatible and looking for the same thing in a relationship.
