He talks about how he wants to settle down because he's getting older but I have been hurt in the pass by another dude I went with that was 23 years old.

by the way. 24 isn't old enough to be worrying about settling down. I'm 29 and my gf is 25 and we both don't have any kids. We plan to get married and have them in couple years but what's the rush? You should go out and have fun while your still young. Date whoever you want just take precautions so you don't end up with std's or the HUGE responsibility of having kids right away. I can't stress the kid part enough because after you have them you can forget about doing anything social with friends or going away for the weekend. That's not even the worst. What about daycare or the two of you possibly working split shifts so somebody is always with the kids. I'm not trying to horrify you but these are all things you need to think about with somebody who claims they want to "settle down" because that usually means starting a family. Yikes!

I was 25 and my girlfriend was 17 when I met her. We've been together for 7 years now and hope to be married within the next year or two. Settling down doesn't necessarily have to mean getting married. I'm almost 33 now and have nor had a problem with waiting. There is no point rushing a relationship and more times than not is a bad idea.

Wow you are so so young to even be debating this.. Trust me, I'm 21. When I was 18 I thought I wanted to settle down, but the amount that you mature between those 3 years is amazing. You should really just focus on yourself and your future as far as your career, hobbies, friends, etc. You still have a lot of developing. You may not even like the qualities in the guy your dating now, in a few years. Trust me, don't rush. =)

Your legal. Its ok. And he probably has had his fun already. If your not ready, dont waste his time. You have not experienced life to its fullest yet and if you settle down now, you may ruin the relationship later by lashing out on him cause you never got to "have your fun". Really think about it. Im 23 and am loving the single life. When I was 18-19 yrs old, I always thought I was ready to settle. Good thing things turned out the way they did.

That's a good age matter there.
if that 23 years old like u then go for it, hunni i went out with 25 years old and i am 18, who cares about peoples age there is so many young girls go out with older men now days,
23 years old guy can became more mature then young guys, then guys get to that age they realize what they do in their pass, and they became good, when they are 23 years old,
Good luck hunni, i hope that helps.

im 25 and with a 41 year old, the age gap has never been an issue with us as he still likes going out, we have been together 5 years and have settled down but still have a great time. you may want to think of all the things you want to do whilst your young and think about if it is still possable to do these things if you have a house and a steady boyfriend.

I don't think anything is wrong with the age, but you definitely need to let him know how you feel about it. Let him know that you really do love him but that you aren't ready to settle down right yet. If he loves you he will understand and stick around. But you really shouldn't let how a previous boyfriend treated you, get in the way of a new relationship.

Age is only time as some people r not that sensible at the age of 24 as some could be at the age of 18.
