it doesnt matter as long as you love each other and you 2 are compatible.People have different levels of maturity. Maybe he's more mature than his age and he really loves you

I agree with some readers here, the age gap can contribute to relationship stress if involved for "life." You really do have to think of it in that sense as planing to have a life together, and even a family, can be a serious issue; especially if you want children but really, in all logical thought must have them earlier while the male is still young.
I, myself am a young woman who is interested in a man 17 years my senior. Although i believe i am not in love, i care for him and crave his presence when not with him. I also learn from him, which enables me to grow much faster than some agree, yet there is a saying; with age comes wisdom. I believe i have the best "head start" to life available; my mothers wisdom and my partners along with my own experience (which so happens to be with an older man!)
Now, with my partner in mind, i would like to have my child/children at the age of 23/24, enabling my partner to share the kids major years of childhood, without having to be two to three generations ahead. With that, there are countless issues raised regarding my career, our income together, our beliefs and so on.
One thing i did not mention here is maturity. I, as an induvidual, am an adaptable person, and in turn, am able to lead life as it progresses each day which is perfect for this relationship. But some may not be flexible, which can be irritating for either partner.
The only real shame is i am not older in years than i am spirit.
'The grass is always greener on the other side' some say. Of course everyone is going to find someone else, no matter what age or race, who they think will be better suited than their existing partner. That is the problem with modern day marriage

If you're 16 and she's 11 it matters. Once you get over 20 it doesn't matter anymore. When you're in your teens it does, especially when you're crossing that age of consent threshold. Look up the laws in your area about appropriate age differences in the age of consent laws.

All depends on the guy and if they are ready for a mature set in her ways kind of woman. If the woman is in her 30's she is more likely ready to settle down and have children. All depends on what u r looking for.

it depends... if she's over 18 and you're over 18, it doesn't really matter the age difference. Love is love, right?

It means the most when you are young and loses importance as you age.
