Does Age Really Matter In A Relationship?

Question

Im 27 And I Like This Guy Thats 19 Soon To Be 20- Hes Mature And Sweet- Im Thinking About Asking Him Out(I Know Guys Like That When A Woman Would Ask Them Out)-I Dont Think It Does
DOES AGE REALLY MATTER IN A RELATIONSHIP??????????

Answer 1

Um, try a little older guy.

Answer 2

I think it does to a degree in this case. His "emotional" maturity level is of course important, which is probably part of the reason you are attracted to him. But also worthy of consideration is his maturity level in terms of career in the world, and his ability to offer you, in terms of a relationship, some of the things you are going to want. Initially it is all chemistry and fun and then reality sets in. There has to be give and take in the relationship. Does he have his own place? Does he still live with his family? Is he in school? These are the things you need to consider. Will you be happy, providing most of the funds for your entertainment, if he is still in school? How would you feel if he is living at home with mom and dad if that is the case? Some of the yard markers you have been through at age 19-26 he is going to have experience himself, and do you have the patience to go through that with him. If it is just a fling, and a few dates, who cares? But if you think it can be more, or if you think you will want more, than careful consideration must be given to these factors I mentioned. You know yourself best and what you require in a relationship to be happy.

Good luck!

Answer 3

No, not really the only thing that matters is if you and the person you are with (or going to be with) trust and love each other . Age is nothing but a number. My husband is 26 and I am 23, we met when I was 15 and he was 18.

Answer 4

Age isn't as big of a deal as everyone makes it out to be. If the two of you are on the same page then all can be good. In your case, if he's more mature and knowing what he wants and not stuck in the immature mode then it can definitely work out. Age is only a number, the mind is whats important.

Answer 5

In your case, not at all. The age difference is not very much once you think about it. The only thing that might get in the way eventually is maturity level.
Heck, I work with a 28 year old female who is engaged to a 53 year old male. No lie!

Answer 6

age only matters if it bothers one person in the relationship. As for the rest of us we do not matter what the ages are.

I have dated woman up to 10 years older then I am

Answer 7

Maybe not at first, but eventually you will realize how you are at very different stages in your life. Look at the big picture and how you would see your relationship a few years down the road. There are, of course some circumstances where this could work, but, just think it through and try not to act too impulsively.

Answer 8

age is nothing but a number, you are as old as you want to be. especially wen you are over 18. the only thing that counts then is the fact that you are an adult in society. so no age does not matter in a relationship.
(the only thing that matters in a relationship is weather or not you love each other)

Answer 9

Oh boy!
I think you just answered my question. I'm in the same situation, and I'm sooo scared. I am afraid he'll get upset with me if I tell him that I like him, (or even worse, laugh!) but I truly think this guy is mature for his age and has a beautiful soul. I would say...You go girl!

PS. I'm glad to read all the answers

Answer 10

for a short term it may work but as u think abt the future u know practically it wont work,girls get matured at young age and boys at older age thats why this concept is in the place.

Answer 11

Deep down inside Age would matter to me, especially if I'm the older because I would always wonder if he wished he had a younger woman.
But, if it's OK with you, by all means ask him out. He will probably be flattered
