I'm 32 she is 18. We've known eachother for 8 months and always had a strong friendship. Which recently developed into a little more. We are both fine with it. But friends and family are questioning it on the basis of age.

It depends really....some people have a very strong relationship even though there may be as much as 20 years or more between them...with others, a major age gap can mean there are little that they hold in common...
I guess it just depends on the couple themselves, if you love each other and enjoy each other's company then age shouldn't matter

No it isn't if the age isn't 15 years apart. But if whoever talking about is just a plain working person than it is a difference. If the man is wealthy and is not tight with his money. Than age makes no difference at all, because bigger wealth the older they can be
unless their bed fast and then you might still be a bedside partner. Just the size of that billfold the age gets older and older that you can accommodate

Could be if one person is 19 the other 29 but when they are 79 and the other 89 it's not that big a deal.
It's numbers at the end of the day
hope this helps
Kind regards

In my opinion age is not a factor when your in love. When your in love with a friend for a long period a time, there is no hiding that no matter the age diffrence.True love comes from the heart and age does not matter what so ever. If u love then love them, dont worry about the age.

I don't think so...they can even lovely complete each other in a better way than two people the same age.
The issue might be on the reason of the relationship...that varies not only upon the age, but on the person..

A big factor is what you want for yourselves in the near future and beyond. If you're both thinking long-term, you may be considering marriage and a family and she may be thinking of travel, school, fun, etc. Be sure you're on the same page about what you want.
Also, if your gf hasn't had many relationships or bf's, she may start to feel like she is missing out by seeing her friends dating and going to parties...normal things for 18yo's. Good luck!

It depends your and your partners ages to begin with.
If you are 16 and your partner 24
its dodgy as you are at different stages of life and maturity.
Teenagers should stick to partners of their own age.
If you are 35 and your partner 8 years older or younger it doesnt matter so much
So depends on the gap and your ages now. It doesnt have to be an issue it just depends

it can be.
a 50yr old going out with a 12yr old is a big no no. Once you both pass the age of 18yrs then i dont think its that bad but I personally wouldnt want someone more than 10yrs older/younger than me. Im 25.,

Only if you let it be. it is the person not the age of them that matters. It is the way they make you feel about them that truely matters give it a try if your mind has any other thoughts then for get it because it is not the right person for you. And that is regardless of age.
