What is your general view on this? Do you see age as a problem for some and not for others?

I think you find what works for you. When I was 23 I dated a guy my own age. When I was 24 I dated a guy that was 20 That was stupid we had fun but it was never going to work out.
Now I am 25 and dating a man that is 29. It's perfect. My parents also were 5 years apart and still married. So I really feel women should be with older men. NOT 10 years older or old enough to be your dad YUK. You know what I mean.

At first this was a big problem for me because I feel that different ages would mean different life stages and maturity. But now, I'm not too worried about it since I am in a relationship with a guy who is a few years older than me.

Hi, I can only answer your question from personal experiance. I dont think its a problem at all. Im 21 and my husband is 37, i was 18 and he 34 when we met... I found that older men tend to treat you better and have more life experiance.. i was with someone my own age before we met and he cheated on me all the time and would outrageously flirt with other people in front of me... I dont have any of that or any silly mind games, my husband is mature and wanted all the things out of life that i did, i wanted to get married and have my own family... feel secure and loved... and be in a trusting relationship. To find a stable guy whos younger than 25 with a good job, own house and someone who wants a wife and kids is pretty rare... Most guys under 25 just want to sleep around and spend thier time either stoned out thier head on weed or drunk as a skunk in a pub!!
Thats my opinion anyway! lol

Yes.If a guy is 40 and the woman he is dating is 30 then chances are they will get along later on in life.However when one is 30 and the other 20, there IS a problem.The one who is 30 should be grown up and mature ,whereas the one who is 20 is barely out their teens and is still learning growing and changing and will do a LOT of it in the next 5 yrs ,unless they are abusing drugs and/or alcohol.
Peoples feelings change when this happens.Also I know a girl who was like 19-20 who married a guy who was 50.Things aren't going so well.Sure she was "in love" with him when they GOT married but did NOT take into account he would not want to be going out all the time(he has diabetes)also in a situation like that the younger one wakes up one morning looks over and says
"MY GOD!I married grandpa!"It's all over from there.

well to be honest age is just a number and people seem to forget that. U mite meet the perfect partner who makes u happy and loves you but ooops there comes the age thing!! I dont see what its got anything to do with it as long as its not a a middle age man and a teenage girl!!!
But in general i think couples out there who have a age gap with their partners are happy and content and thats the most important thing, hey u only live once so love and be loved!!!!

It depends on their ages. If she is 13 and he is 20 it is a problem and potentially a legal problem. If both are 20 something or more it may not be. I know a guy who is 25 years older than his wife and they have a good marriage and have had a good marriage for years.

I think age difference is a problem if like, one is twelve and one is twenty, that's eight years, but at the wrong time in life. Like, my parents are eight years apart, but they got married when my dad was 32 and mom was 24. It's totally different, cuz if they dated at 20 and 12, that would be pretty weird. But like, when one of the couple is 67 and the other is like 30, I think that's nasty. But to each his own, ya know?

It all depends on how you look at it, and how you feel about it. I don't see how age should be stop a person from wanting to be with someone. I am 10 years younger than my fiance. When we first go together he had a problem with it, it didn't think it was right for me to be with him. I didn't see anything wrong with it because I really wanted to be with him. And here we are now 7 years later and getting amrried. Now he is glad that age didn't stop me from being with him. He dodesn't see it as age anymore, he sees it as we really love one another. I hope I helped you out. God Bless you and your familly

Age difference is only a problem if you make it one. When it comes to love the heart knows no limits it can overcome all problems if it true and meant to be. Don't let what other people think or say stop you from following your heart.

I don't see age difference as a problem unless the difference is huge.. but then again it depends on the relationship and how they feel about each other.
