2 years older? Oh wow, that's a huge gap there. I'm not sure you should date a man so much older than you. That could be detrimental to your mental and emotionally well being. Gimme a break!

Let him be. 2 years is an OK difference. But from what you said, I get the feeling that you hate yourself. For your sake, I hope that's not true. Some men prefer younger women (and why not?). You could say, it's a matter of comfort and tolerance. Younger women are generally, easy going, easy to get along with, sincere, reliable, loyal and trust worthy. If you like him and he likes you, there shouldn't be a problem, young lady- long as he's not the punching abusive type. Give the relationship some time, and the two of you might turn out to be just right for each other!

If he's too immature for his age or is he just immature...I mean theres a big difference in being immature at age 18 and age 42. Do what you feel is right. Some people are going to think its ok some are goin to think its horrible. U decide. Also consider y u want date him. Is he fun to be around, considerate,etc. or is it just looks and that he acts bout the same as you? The main question is would u be able to handle him maturely if he became to immature...

You people make me sick. There is no evidence that girls mature faster than guys at all, much less "about two years faster." You are only fostering gender-role stereotypes, and giving guys excuses to act immaturely.
Maturity, and the lack thereof, are both highly subjective/relative terms. There are only people that meet your level of sophistication, and those who offend you. If you believe that he will fall in the latter group, then you may not want a relationship with him. It may get frustrating and annoying for you.
As for whether or not you two should go out, that is entirely your choice. Be careful about sleeping with him, but other than that, it should be fine.
In my opinion, High Schoolers should stay away from Middle Schoolers, who should stay away from Elementary Schoolers. 6th and 8th graders probably shouldnt go out, nor should 9th graders and 12th graders. It is not inherently wrong to do any of that, but I find that it is really looked down on by society's standards, and it may make the relationship too difficult.

Two years is not a huge difference. In fact women mature earlier then men so mentally we are already caught up with someone 2 years older. I don't think I have ever dated anyone that was my age or younger..

Two years age difference doesn't seem much of a problem to me. You say he's too immature for his age : Maybe he thinks that by dating someone younger, his immaturity won't show. He's probably got an insecurity issue where he's intimidated by someone older,too.
But then again, most guys are immature all their lives; so if that's your only concern, I don't think you need to worry.

First of all how old are you?
If he is immature for his age, then age is not a problem... Just find out if he is really immature...
Just for your information, I am 12 years older than my girlfriend... she has many many pursuer..., and I always tell her to try to meet those guys... but she told me she is happier with me... and we still being together... for more than 3 years already

guys are more immature than girls............a 17 year old guy is about as immature as a 14-15 year old girl, so if a 14-15 year old girl is dating someone 2-3 years older, then he is about the same level as her........if she dated someone her own age that is like her dating a 12-13 year old.
so it is not really a big deal. people make such a big issue about age these days. this is not the Dark Ages and they need to get over it!

It depends how old you are. For example, when I was 14 my boyfriend was 22, so we didn't date each other because I was too young. But now I'm 20 and hes 27 and we are together! Its more about maturity level than age.

What's the big deal. If you both like each other, then date. There is nothing wrong with the him being 2 years older than you. Now, if he was old enough to be your father, that's when you have to wonder if there is something wrong with him. Good luck!
