Age Difference


Question Posted Sunday April 4 2004, 6:01 pm

Their is a boy I like and their is a three year age difference. He said I'm too young. Am I really? He's only two grades higher than me, but that is my brothers best friend. Do you think it would be wrong to go out with him?

I don't think it is wrong at all! I mean my aunt and uncle have a 10 year difference, and no one stopped them.Right now , it might seem a little awkward for a 3 year difference, but when your older, it won't mattter,unless your in love.Love conquers all!

I think that it's fine nd I also think that age doesn't matter. My sister is 25 and her soon-to-be husband is 31. That is 6 years of age difference. But if he thinks it's not a good idea, and isn't into it, don't encourage him. Hope it works out well for you and please rate me!

When you are older you will find that age doesn't really matter. But for kids, a year or two can sometimes make a big difference. You probably are too young for this guy you like right now, especially if he is your brothers best friend. He doesn't want to date his friends little sister. So don't feel too bad. If a guy two grades younger than you were to ask you out what would you say?

Actually, no. A lot of people at my school in 8th grade wouldn't go out with 6th graders, (even if you two are in highschool,) because most of them want to be "cool" in not dating them...that they are too young. That *may* be the case...or maybe that is his way of saying "I don't like you."

Well, it wouldn't be *wrong*, exactly. Depending on how old you two actually are, a three-year difference isn't enough to be really creepy, but it could definitely be enough to make a relationship difficult. You two are at slightly different stages in your lives: you probably have different interests, and are looking for different things out of a relationship.

If he himself says you're too young, I'd take him at his word. He seems pretty clear about it, I'm afraid. If you still like him in a year or two, the age difference may not seem so big to him. But by then, you may have moved on to someone who's more on your level -- I wouldn't recommend waiting around.

Three years is like, nothing. The fact that he's your brother's best friend could be a bit of a hinderance and possibly awkward, but if you want to go for it, then do so. As for the "am I really too young?" question, it's really up to you two. If he wants more in a relationship than you do, he might be too old for you. But then, girls mature faster than guys, so it might not be much of a problem. Good luck!

Age isn't a big thing to many people, but if he is your brothers friend you two are going to have a rough relationship especially the guy you like, because he might want to hang out with your brother and you want a date at that time.

Consider every possible conequence.

Moop answered Sunday April 4 2004, 6:11 pm:
he probably is. It's probably a petty crush. Age, in fact, does matter. People closer in age relate better to each other. And friends are typically closer in age to have more in common. I think it's fine for you to befriend him. Brother's friends are also risky to date. There's a lot of complications involved.

Well, sometimes it depends on the exact age. Like if he was 15 and you were 13, that would probably be fine. But if he were 18 and u were 16 that would be illegal. Have u ever heard the saying "Age is just a number" well it's true, age is just a number and if u two really like each other then go for it. If u both feel like its the right thing to do, then u should do it. Just follow your heart and tell him how u feel. Well, i hope this helped.
