If you really like a person who is a different age than you are and you are older, what would be considered a "BIG" age difference? Is two to four years a big age difference?
Siren_Cytherea answered Monday June 28 2004, 4:09 am: My mom told me "The older you get, the less of an 'age difference' there is." When you're 13, 16 seems so long away. But when you're 43, 46 isn't too far behind. 2 to 4 years is not too big of a difference. If you were, like, 21and this guy was 13, there might be a bit of a problem...but I don't think that's what we're looking at. Age is not a big deal. It's a state of mind. =)

If you're in college and dating a guy still in high school, there could be a difference in world experience and your outlooks on life. You could prolly still get past it, though.

If you are in love - age doesn't mean anything! I used to think before that age meant something but now, I know that it doesn't! 2nd, two to four years is nothing! Even when I thought age was a factor I was talking about 7+ years. My boyfriends parents are about 10+ years apart and I can tell you that they are so happy with eachother. That is what proved to me even more that when it comes to love - AGE IS NOT A PROBLEM! I hope that you and this person work out. Keep me posted! <3 K [ CrAyZcOwGrL_18's advice column | Ask CrAyZcOwGrL_18 A Question ]
Fish answered Sunday June 27 2004, 9:01 pm: It depends. If I was 17 I wouldn't date a 25 year old because the whole life experiences are totally different. So if one of you is out of college and the other hasn't even started (stuff like that) I'd say it's kind of a big difference. But no, two to four years is nothing, even though you get some bad vibes from people in highschool. In college- age differences don't matter nearly as much. I'd make sure what I'd be doing was legal though. But really it all just depends on what you're comfortable with. If you are, great. If you aren't, don't go out with people who are a couple years older. [ Fish's advice column | Ask Fish A Question ]
LykViolencUhavMe answered Sunday June 27 2004, 7:06 pm: it depends... in high school ages arent to far apart. as u get older age is a lot less of a differance. however if your like 13 and the other person is like 10... well there is a bigg differance there. but like the same age ratio would be completely different if older. like if you were 17 and the other person was 14. i dont think that is to much of a big deal. and then like 20 and 23 is nothing at all.

DreAmBoi_FaL answered Sunday June 27 2004, 7:04 pm: Well it all depends on the person really and how old they are. Cause some people that are 50 and 43 are married, 7 years difference. For that age it's ok, but 7 years difference for teens ain't right, heh. 20 year old dating a 13 year old doesn't sound all that great. [ DreAmBoi_FaL's advice column | Ask DreAmBoi_FaL A Question ]
KrAzI_KaT_01 answered Sunday June 27 2004, 7:04 pm: well my parents are 10 years apart, my mom is 40 and my dad jut turned 50, my friends paernts, tho they are divorced, are like 20 years apart
it all depends on how old u r.
if u 16 and in love wit a 18-20yr old, thats allright, but it's illegal if ya do anything together, if ur 12 and in love wit a 14-16 yr old, well tha 14 yr old is ok, but not 16 yr old
it all depends on how old u r, if ur 15 and over then it's definitly allright, and if it's only a 2 yr difference then any age is fine, actually thats the norm most ppl are 2 yrs apart
FernGully answered Sunday June 27 2004, 7:01 pm: It depends how old you are really. When you are 29 and dating someone who is 25, its not a big deal. But when you are 13 and dating an 18 year old - its a big deal. You have to be within the same age bracket at the same time I think. And the same maturity level as well.
