Yes, I am 2 years older than my husband, we have a great marriage, but if I had met him when he was 16 and I was 18, I think it would never have happened.

yes. this happens all the time. i don't know how old you are but if you are young you may have the right feelings for each other but you may need to go to separate colleges and long distance relationships are tough. you may find that after you both have more life experience you make a better match. or it could be that you are both looking for different qualities in a partner right now and in the future you will be on the same page.

Yeah... sigh. Well it's not unusual that two people meet and they could be right for each other but one or both of them would have to resolve a current or past relationship first, whether or not it's technically over already, before they would be ready to get together. Maybe there's a reason why that happens, like personal growth. Other times maybe one never makes up their mind and they end up with other people or die. Well have a nice day.

Absolutely. Especially, if they are a young couple. Several friends of mine (who are now married) went their separate ways years ago because it just wasn't right at that time, they were out of high school, college or even engaged to other people.
Later they somehow ran into each other, got together and now are happily married.
My philosophy is - if it is meant to be - it will.
When it comes to relationships, one should not MAKE things happen, but LET them happen.
Hope this helps.

Well this is a very good question. And my answer is yes. Alotof people believe in destiny and certain things have to be right at the right time. For example proposing. In my experiences I had a friend that we actually clicked and to be completely honest she had a picture in her family album of me, from years ago. She didnt know me or had seen me, so if you like someone sometimes its better to let life find its way.

deffinately, I dated a girl 2yrs. younger than I in hs. I would love to be back with her some day, when she grows up and matures and can handle a relationship. But we're purely friends now and I wouldn't have it any other way.
don't jump the gun, wait till you're sure it's the right time and you can get what you want without a time limit on the relationship or something like that.
Made that mistake, it sucks!

I'm hoping that's the case. A lot of times relationships are strained because the individuals have not lived their lives or discovered who they are. It's best to build yourself up as a decent human being and find out what you really like and dislike. That way, when the time comes, if the time comes...you'll be ready to share what you've learned with that special person.

Of course I believe it. When you're young and immature, a relationship is a huge step for you. That's why most people aren't ready and end up breaking up. However, when they get older, they're able to maintain a steady relationship because they've matured and know each other better.

Yes in fact I have.
My brother in law married his first wife three times. The first two went badly as they were young. He wanted freedom and she wanted to mother him. Later when he was older and they married the last time, he didn't seem to mind the mothering and it seemed more something he more liked after being with 2 others that were horrid to him.
I think we can have a physical attraction but the mental may not match. In time we grow and change. I think sometimes we grow in change in ways that make us better suited than we once might have been.
