As long as both are over the age of 21 (maybe 18 depending on the maturity level) it's fine. My husband is 8 years older than me.

It actually depends on what part of life you are at.

If you are in your 20's, and he is younger, then that is a BIG difference. With 8 years difference, he would be too immature and unwilling to make a commitment.

If he is in his 20's and you are younger, thats even worse because he would want more physical sexual things; things that you are probably new to and shouldn't do until you are much older.

If you are in your 20's and he is older, then its ok. You are both at a time in life where you both know what kind of path you are on and the maturity levels are pretty equal. But beware, he might seem like an old fart to you because these days, people in their 20's are very immature.

If he is in his 20's and you are older, it might work out. Considering the fact that men mature slower than woman, he's still at his partying stage and you're at your settling down stage. It would be hard for you to keep up since he's still in school and you are trying to be responsible.

If the ages are a lot older than that, its no big deal at all except one of you will die before the other.

If you two are a lot younger than the 20's range, than it will be a big deal because you comparing a child to a teenager.

Well not really self explanatory..
a huge difference between 13 and 21
or 18 and 24...
but after 21 then its not so huge like 21 and 29..
by the time you hit 30 its nothing to consider at all.

not once you've hit 30, or at least on the upper end of your 20's. If you are still in your teens or early twenties there can be some major conflicts, even if not at first, they will still catch up to you. However if you want to give it a shot go for it. Just remember not to fee too bad if it doesnt work out, because sometimes you just gotta learn things the hard way.
I dated a man who was 30 when I was 21 and I learned it the hard way too.

I'm 6 years older than mine. We have lots of fun but once in a while it comes up that I'm flirting with thirty while she's still early twenties. For the most part, it causes no problems. Although, most people guess that I'm still 23 or 24

Probably not, especially the older you are - at some point, 8 years becomes just a blink.

If you're younger than 25, it'll probably make a bigger difference when it comes to having things in common and your set of values and priorities.

I think it depends how old you are - for example, there is a huge difference in maturity and life experiences between an 18 year old and a 26 year old. The difference is not so huge between a 30 year old and a thirty eight year old.

It's all relative.

It's not self explanitory. are you talking 12-20 or 52 and 60? age is a number, but it's all relative.

It depends on the maturity level of both people and where they are at in life. My parents are 12 years apart. If the maturity level and the things in common align then I'd say go for that.
