Yes, I believe it is.
At that age anyways people are at very different places in life whether they realize it or not. That you even ask the question should give you your answer. One is just starting to find themselves and explore life and the other is probably more at a place of wanting to settle into a more serious relationship and may possibly even be thinking of settling down. Some people are even having thoughts of children at 26??
Later in life that much of an age difference isn't an issue but when you are that young I think it is.
Often the young person ends up not growing in the way they might have if they were with someone closer to their own age or even on their own for a while.
That's what I feel both from personal experience and observation of others.

My experiences tell me that it's true, age is only a number, but it depends on what your looking for in a woman. You always have to remember, that a 19 year old female Especially in the Unites States, has not lived her adventure out. If you are thinking of settling down, and eventually marriage, then you have to know just how mature she is. Education plays a huge part of marriages. I have done studies, and experiments in my Research courses in my Bachelors which backs up that information. To answer your question, No it's not too far of a stretch. If you love her, make it work. Just talk with her and see if she wants the same things you want in life. The only one who can know if it is right, is you and your girlfriend. Take care, I Hope this helped you out.

No, she's of legal age- although she has her whole life before her so don't be surprised that she is kind of childish in a lot of ways - simply from inexperience. If you can tough that part out - and she's willing to forego all the adventures a young adult goes through, it'll be fine. But believe me it won't be without its rough spots.
The difference between 19 and 26 may seem steep - and it is - but then again, the difference between 29 and 36 isn't quite the stretch. And the difference between 39 and 46 is almost nil.

To be honest it depends... usually relationships with large age differences start out hot and heavy.. but once time marches on you become aware of the differences, especially if you grew up in different generations, there was a 12 year difference between me and my ex.... at first the opposites and similarities drew us together but after the first year we realised that fundamentally we were very different people at very different stages in our lives... and after some time we realised we were going in different directions... there is a possibility it could work... but she is only 19, hardly what I would call experienced and I know at 19 my perspective on life, love and a lot of things was much different than when I was 26... good luck... if it is meant to work out it will.

No of course not! if you love each toher thats all that matters! dont ask ppl what they say, its your say, its your opinion, if u 2 love each other then u should be together. its not what other ppl think. its what u and her think is best, if u love her alot then you wont even pay attention to the age difference and justb pay attention to her and her needs and yours of course, but if u think that its not right for a 19 and a 26 year old to go out, well, then thats your choice not everyone else's
So, please if u love her dont pay attention to the age. ok?
I hope I helped :)

No. Believe me, it isn't. My parents are 10 years apart (Daddy's oldest), and they've been married for going on 17 years now. So, no, it's not too much of a stretch. Hope you're happy together!

Nah.. Im 19 and my boyfriend is 24... as long as your maturity levels are ranging around the same level then it should work out just fine. You should make sure she knows that you dont want to hold her back from being young and she can still go out with her friends and such:) it helps.

no sir, im 19 and my boyfriend is26, its about maturity and what you have in common, not about how many years ago you left the womb. its only a number as over rated as it sounds its so true... dont let frivilous things hold you back the more you think about what might cause a problem the more it will cause a problem, in relationships you need to give 110% and you cant do that while your worried about her age.... if you love and care about her and have fun.... keep it going.

i think yes! my bf is 21 and im 19 i see some of the stuff we don't have in common cuz he is older ex: goin out to bars, im still in college he isn't, stuff like that it sounds lil but it will make the relationship hard once shes over 21 it wouldn't be to bad its just gettin to that point..are her parents ok w/ this idea? i mean she might still live w/ them and you should have your own place by now
good luck if you keep the relationship goin!

It is a stretch but age is a number to me. I think it is all in the immaturity of each person and which level in their life they are in.
