I was 24 and started seeing a 16 year old. And guess what? We are now 26 and 18. We live together and are very happy! It was a shock for some at first, but they got over it and alot quicker than I thought they would. Those that knew us both were fine, it was my mates and family that didn't know him that were shocked and his family that didn't know me. But once we all got to know each other it was fine. And he too acts older than he is. He is far more mature than I was at that age. We just went for it because it felt right and we have no regrets. It always seems worse when the female is older, no one noticed that my last bf was 5 years older than me. Live for yourself, not others!

My first love was 2 years younger than me. We were together from when I was 14 to when I was 17. I didnt initially KNOW he was younger than me, because he lied so I would still like him. It didnt work out because I was always mature for my age, and ready to start family life young. The trouble with men is that they typically mature slower than women. Thats why it works all right if a man is older, but can be hard if the woman is too much older, unless she is just really immature, or he is really mature. The one thing that I worried about while he and I dated was... I would be in college, wanting to get married and have children, and he would still be in highschool. It was made worse by the fact that he was only 2 years younger, but THREE grades behind me. Good news is, I found my husband during my senior year of highschool. My ex... he STILL hasnt grown up.
Keep in mind... if it works out with you guys... GREAT! screw other people. If it does NOT work out, then just learn from the mistakes you made, and be a better girlfriend next time around.
Oh! and dont sleep with him. at 18, you may be kinda ready for a baby, if it happens on accident, but he certainly would NOT! it would really set him back in life.

well I am almost 19 and I don't date guys that are younger then me even if they act older. But I like older guys. I think that if it's not a problem for you and him then don't worry about what your friends think. they don't know everything. As long as yous get along and care for each other then tell them you don't care what they think cause you like him. And they might just be teasing you cause it's a easy target. I do that to my friends when where playing around I don't mean it and they might not either.

Hun, age is very few numbers. human beings get married to human beings 10 years older than them and 10 years youthful. it truly is like the tremendous bro relationship you although. you're 2 years youthful than him and it bf is two years youthful than you. in case you fairly care about age or top then you should be fairly shallow because it is personality that makes a relationship artwork. no longer the top, haircolor, or age. Screw the haters. they're in all likelihood jealous that you'll get someone.

You should be only worried with how you feel about it and not worry about what your friends are saying about it. It is your life and you can do what you want to do. 2 years age difference is not uncommon and there is nothing wrong with it. There is nothing wrong with a woman being older than the man.

My husband is six years younger than I am. Most people don't know unless we tell them. Age does not matter. It is the two people in the relationship that matters. Could it be that your friends are a little jealous of your relationship.

be true to your heart...
if you really get upset over what your friends say, then it means your bf means so little to you... what kind of real friends will look down on you for dating a younger guy? are they jealous or something?
if you want to keep the guy and your friends, tell your friends that you are in love with him and all they can do is to support your decision and give you their blessings and stand by you should anything happen.
good luck

Many people find that they are happy with others that are not the same age. This isn't anything to worry about. My only advice would be to double check age-of-consent laws for the state in which you live before you have sex.

It is unusual for girls to be older than boys & to date each other as boys tend to mature later than girls.
If you feel good with him then continue your relationship but I seriously recommend that you do not sleep together & see how it progresses.
You never know he may be like me & matured early, some of us men are odd balls.
