a question for women over 25?

Question

would u ever date a guy who is 17 or 18 or are u one of these people who thinks age is everything?

Answer 1

i'm not over 25 but if we got on and loved each other i wouldn't see any prroblem

Answer 2

I'm not sure... it depends on the guy.
I'm 26 and I see a 17/18 yr old as a 'baby' lol
But if you guys get on really well together, I dont see a problem with it. Age shouldnt really matter - what matters is if each persons personality and interests match.
My best friend was 40 when she dated an 18 year old.... I didnt really agree with that as she had 2 sons older than the boyfriend - it just seemed a weird situation - but I accepted it, her sons found it difficult, which is why I didnt like the situation, but each to their own!
That relationship didnt last however, as he was a typical childish 18 yr old lad and my friend was looking for a lil more commitment he just wasnt mature enough to give.

No matter what you decide I wish you all the happiness in any future relationship xxxx You decide what works and what is best for you, dont let 'societies views' decide for ya!

Answer 3

I'm 25 and I never dated a younger man. If anything I've gone to the other extreme and dated guys that were significantly older than me. I find myself unable to have relationships with people my age or younger for some reason, I have nothing in common with them. I've been this way all my life but I've lived long enough to know that in life you never know. So final answer is probably wouldn't date a 18 or 17 year old but you never know.

Answer 4

No 17 or 18, no. My absolute bare minimum is 21. 17 or 18 is too young in that before 20, noone knows who they are or what they want and just not right to go there with someone that young. 17 to 25 is a big difference in maturity, whereas in a few years time, its not such a big deal, i.e 21 to 29.

Answer 5

My ex was 32 when we started going out - I was 19 at the time.

The age difference wasn't important at the time, though as time went by, her priorities clashed with mine - she was 33 and wanted to settle down while I was still at university. Considering I had another 7 years training to do at that point, it became apparent that our paths had to diverge.

Think of it this way, if you're 25 and he's 18, it's reasonable to expect that he'll roughly have the same priorities in life as you do right now when he reaches 25. But in the same 7 years, what would your priorities be at 32? Do you see yourself being happy and compatible, your priorities being what they are now when you're 25 with what you think yours will be when you're 32? If the answer is no or a shaky maybe, then he's probably going to feel the same way, so better be wary.

Answer 6

I think 7 years is about the maximum age difference. So 25 to 18 might be okay. It depends on the couple, but you have to be able to relate to each other.

I know an woman who married an 19 year old when she was 26, and they're still married. That was over 30 years ago.

Answer 7

Im not ageist at all,but if I were 25 I cant for the life of me see what I would have in common with a 17 or 18 year old lad.

Answer 8

I would most certainly not date a guy younger than at least 18ish. That's looking for trouble. But yea, I would definately date a guy of 18 - age is not everything! I would especially date him if he knows how to make me feel like a women.

You know usually that's why girls go for older guys anyways - only because older guys know how to treat a women properly, whereas younger guys are more inclined to still be a bit moody, don't know what they want, unable to make up their mind etc. etc.

Answer 9

I do not think age is everything but I will not do it.
He is 17 or 18 and I am older my experience is larger than his so there is nothing I can learn from him he is just a child. In case you want to raise a children do it but if you need a real man you have to look somewhere else If you want him just for fun yeah do it.

Answer 10

i am 30 and married so i can't date,but if i was not married or in a serious relationship, i will not mind having a fling with a younger person, for the fun of it, but 17, 18 will still be too young for me, i will feel like i was doing wrong. lets say i won't mind a 20 something yr old to play with.

Answer 11

i'm in my late 20's, and i would not consider going out with a guy who is so much younger than me - not unless he was alot different from the 17 / 18 year old guys that i know ! it's not the age gap that worries me, just the fact that a guy of that is is not much more than a kid, and tends to want to hang out with his friends, get drunk & live their life they way most teenage boys do. there's nothing wrong with that - i went through that phase when i was in my teens, but i've moved past that stage of my life now. i don't condone any women who want to date yonger guys, infact my boyfriend is a few years younger than me, but dating a teenage boy is just not something that i personally would want to do.
