a friend once gave me an "equation" which actually makes a lot of sense. if you are a guy trying to figure out what is the youngest girl you should be dating, then take your age, divide it by 2, and add 7 to it! so, if the guy is 20... divided by 2 is 10... add 7 to that and you get 17! a guy that is 20 years old should NOT date someone younger than 17! this equation works well, because as the guy gets older, it allows for a bigger gap in age. when he is 50... according to the equation he can date someone as young as 32!! 18 year difference! lol ok i hope that answers your question! :) [ loves2shop86's advice column | Ask loves2shop86 A Question ]
