What about age?
Hey I'm a guy and was just wondering...should age matter in a relationship? What's your point of view on this one, like does it matter if both are close in age or far apart...by far I mean less than 5 years or so. Thanks in advance, will rate.

There's not just one answer to this question. So yes and no. It really depends on the age and the people. A five year difference is really big when you're talking 12 yrs old and 7...it's not so bad when you're talking 35 and 30.
Personally, if I were 17, I wouldn't feel comfortable dating a 22 yr old OR a 12 yr old.

i think it depends on the ages of the people involved, for example if you are fifteen and have a ten year old girlfriend that is weird and creepy and weird and creepy is no good by anyones standards at all, not even weird and creepy people like weird and creepy

I think it depends on the person..

Yea know, my boyfriend is 19 and I am 15. A lot of people look down on that. I think if you really like the person, why should age matter? I don't think age should be a factor in love.

A lot of people will tell you that age doesn't matter. There have been far crazier matches then teenagers dating somebody a few years older or younger than them.
Age gaps become less and less of an issue with age. 4 years is nothing when you are 40, but when you are twenty it might feel like a lot and it's and even bigger gulf when you are fourteen or fifeen.
I feel like a massive hypocrite when I answer questions like this because my answer is always caution caution caution, but I myself am happy in a relationship with a man 6 years my senior. Age gaps are not the barrier to happiness I once thought they were, but age certainly is a factor and something you should think about before diving into a relationship with somebody who is significantly older or younger than you.
People who are significantly older or younger than you are likely to be of a different maturity level than you, and you might find that difficult. They may well be in a different position financially, emotionally, or just want different things in their life at that moment, such as family, career, or just hving fun.
One of the biggest problems that can face age-gap relationships is that the two people are in different places in their lives. If you are a university student dating somebody who works full time, they are at a different stage in their life with a completely different set of responsibilities and, possibly, interests. If your partner is in a different life stage, whether it be it school to university, university to working, casual work to serious career work or enjoying your youth to parenthood... these things will become tension points at some point. Not tension points that you can't get over, but things that will come up. If you really like somebody and are prepared to work on the relationship then go for it, but I wouldn't advise getting into a relationship where one party is significantly older unless both parties have thought it through beforehand.

It depends on how old both people involved are. If one person in the relationship is 14 and the other is 19 then I don't think that's right because surely someone who is legally an adult shouldn't be interested in a young teenager. They may genuinely care for them but it's a bit odd.
However, if one person is 20 and the other is 25 then that's fine because they're both consenting adults. Most adult couples have differences in ages.
I think that when you're young - by young I mean under 16 or 17 - then you should stick with people around your age group just to be on the safe side.

This question has probably been answered a million times already, but I wanted to give you my opinion on it. Honestly, I think age does matter to some extent. There are always people who prefer younger/older girls/guys. As a matter of relationships, age matters a lot more when the parties involved are under 18. Especailly with all that "legal" stuff that everyone makes such a big deal about. If the people are 4 years or less apart, it shouldn't make a huge amount of difference. Of course, it all depends on the people... Once you're 18 or older, it usually makes no difference at all. Everyone's stopped worrying about who's "legal" and who isn't and they start caring more about the person than they do about the person's age.

i dont think age should matter. i mean you should beable to date/marry whoever you want. but yea under 5 years i dont think matters. i actually like a guy whos a few months, close to a year, younger than me. but i think its kinda kool lol.
hope i helped.

age isnt tht big of a deal. if both people are mature and enjoy being together there is no reason age should enter at all. but there are alwaysa cases ith like 13 &21 yrs olds, and that is kinda of wrong, but if the feelings are there it can work!
]
less than 5 years is fine. 6-8 years is kinda ok. 9-... i dont think is right.
]
Hell no! Some parents can be paranoid but if you two love eachother it shouldnt matter. Although if you are coupled with an older girl, I would still be cautious.
]
I dont think it matters because if you like her you shouldnt care either
]
5 years is fine,just over dosn't seem like it would be right.but if you both love each other i guess it could work.
]
Well like if it's 5 years, then no I really don't think it matters. But if your like 10-15 or more? It might start to matter. Cause it'd be weird for like an 18 year old to be dating a 30 year old. But if you love the person, then who cares? =]
Love,

If theres not more than a 15 year age gap, your ok in my book.
]
Well truthfully, 5 years apart isint a bad age difference. if it was like 10-25 year dif. then it would matter... and i dont really think age matters in a relationship anywayz, its all about how you feel inside! hope this helps!

Age shouldn't matter....That is unless you're a fifteen year old dating a twenty year old. Then it's rape. But if you're 18 or older, age shouldn't matter. If you really love the person, age really isn't an issue. I know from experience.

if you r like 15 and the girl is 20 that is not the right age for you guys to be dating mabye just friends. but if you arr like 17 and she is like 19 20 ya there is no problem as long as you no what you are doing and if you really love eachother.
]
If you really like the person, then age shouldn't matter. I mean dating someone about 10-15 years older than you would be weird, but that's a whole different story. 5 years doesn't really matter though.
]
I would say, it depends. Some girls might be comfortable dating a guy young or less than him, but some might not. So it basically depends on the type of girl.
]
i dont think age should matter at all as long as the feelings are there.
i think society looks down upon some, (demi and ashton for one) but i dont think it matters at all.
]
age shouldn't matter. and if other people care, don't worry about what they think. what only matters is the two of you. = )
]
To me, no. To society, yes. When two people are dating, one is in their early teens and the other is late teens/early twenties say, society would ban them but by the time this young teenager is 20+, it doesn't seem that bad. I guess it all depends as to what age the youngest person is compared to the other. But for me, no, it doesn't. You can't choose who you fall in love with.
Hope that answered your question! :)

It depends on what age you are and what age the other person is. Say, 16 and 21 isn't great, but 28 and 33 is no big deal. Its not so much about age as it is about being in the same phase in your life. Makes communication easier. Hope that helps.

no not at all
if you both have feelings for each other whats stopping you, apart from like a 7/8+ year gap it should be fine lol
have fun and be carefull xox
