I never had a desire to date someone younger than I because of the immaturity factor. Since you are only 16, the age limit that you have chosen for your limit is good, but make sure that your parents are okay with it, because by law you are a minor and he is an adult. When you reach the age of 18, a person no more than 10 years older than you would be okay, but not over that. The reason I say that is because of the big generational gap, the phases of life changes every ten years.

I'm 22, and my age limit changed as I got older. When I was 15, I only dated guys within 3 years. Now its more like 5 years. And probably by the time I'm 25, it'll be 10. But the reason the limits change is because the older I get the more I can relate to guys that age. And its not as creepy dating a guy 5 years older than me when I'm 22 then was I was 15.

I may be the wrong person giving you bad advice because I am 48 and I have dated men from the ages of 24 to 58 so I would have to say there are no age limits - it's all where a person is mentally and emotionally. At your age you still have a lot of growing up to do so if you don't want to date younger for right now I would have to say that 19 is likely a little over your age limit.

my parents say you can have a relationship at the age 16 but can't date until I'm around 18. I agree with them, if and when I have kids, my limits for them will be the same. I think it's wise not to date anyone younger than you until your way older. I'm not old enough yet to date but when I do I won't date any guys younger than me because they don't mature until they are like 25. but to answer your main question, some of the best guys can be a lot older than you. the only limit should be, if the guy id like 60 he might be trying to kid nap you.

I personally like younger guys, i think its because i like to be immature sometimes, being young is fun. But i also really love deep intellectual conversation's as well and don't mind dating older guys, I am 21, and currently with an 18 yr old and very happy. I dont really have a limit, i dont think age has much matter, just a number and mostly a maturity and connection thing that matters. But i dont go under 18 because thats illegal.

My limit is 4-5 years. I'm 17, so that could change when I'm older, though. Like when I'm 20 years old, my limit would be 7 or 8 years. I dunno why, I just like older me. They're a lot more mature and have their lives organized, work a steady job, etc. Anyway, my parents are 10 years apart, so I see no problem with a 6-8 year difference. I wouldn't date anyone younger than me unless he was really mature for his age.

I'm about to be 16 and I have always like older guys, but I always made sure that the age difference is not more that three years. I have never dated someone younger than me, and don't what to. I can't explain it i just don't want to.

well i am 17 and the highest i would go is 21 and the lowest 16. Just for the simple fact that guys at a younger age are usually really immature. I dont want to date somebody too mature though because then i might feel like *i'm* too immature for them hehe.

It's different when you're younger than when you're older. Girls do tend to mature faster than boys so you're right about that. A friend of mine is 35 and dating a 22 year old. I guess some girls look for stability in a guy ; he has a solid job, his house is paid for and is "over" the BS that younger guys put out and knows how to live life. Most of all though, they absolutely love each other and that's all that counts...

I won't date younger guys, I'll date up to 5 years older or the same age.
