PAH.
I disagree. You could be 16 and he could be 30...and it can still work out. People don't know it, but it's true. But you do have to watch out if that is a case someday. As long as you to know and love eachother deeply, then it's all fine. [ PepeLePew's advice column | Ask PepeLePew A Question ]
Nevaeh answered Tuesday March 16 2004, 9:31 pm: Exactly how much is the age gap? I do think that bonds can be formed despite of a person'a age gap {not unless your like 13 and he's like 20 something} then chances are he's after you for more that your brain's. I am 21 and my husband is 25... a 4 year gap... that's acceptale... it all depend's on your age....My advice... Never date a person 5 years older than yourself.... unless your over the age of 18, then of course your "free" to date whom ever you choose. [ Nevaeh's advice column | Ask Nevaeh A Question ]
alpha answered Tuesday March 16 2004, 9:15 am: I'm really hoping you mean "only a few years older," not "only a few years old"! Because very small children, obviously, should not be getting involved in anything more than friendship.
The importance of the age difference totally depends on how old the two of you are. Three years is a huge difference between a 12-year-old and a 15-year-old, because of all the changes that happen to a person between ages 12 and 15. The difference is nothing at all between, say, 23 and 26. Basically, if you are at pretty much the same stage of life and have the same interests, concerns, etc., age isn't a big deal. If not, you should be looking for someone closer to your age. [ alpha's advice column | Ask alpha A Question ]
endilwen answered Tuesday March 16 2004, 2:29 am: That depends on how old you are and if you're mature enough for something to develop. For example, if you're twelve or thirteen and the friend is seventeen or eighteen, the friend will want entirely different things to what you want because you're not as ready for it.
People who are a few years apart DO form relationships though; My aunt is 50 and her boyfriend is 42. My parents are 5 years apart. So it DOES work, so long as you're ready for it. [ endilwen's advice column | Ask endilwen A Question ]
sp4rklingr4in answered Monday March 15 2004, 8:23 pm: Of course it can. A few years really isn't that much. My parents had 6 years between them and they are a happy happy couple. The part about being more than just friends is up to you though. If you choose to become more than just friends then of course it can become something more. You can become best friends, better friends, lovers... you can choose
