Hey!
Im f/17 soon to be 18!
My question is do you think that and 17/18 year old should be datting a 22 year old... like im finishing gr12.. and he's finishing University...
Is that a really big age diffrence to you?
K_for_help answered Friday September 21 2007, 9:10 pm: The age difference matters now, but not when you are older. It's strange really. My Husband and i are 7 years different. I would wait to date him till you are 18 in case something were to happen and your parents got involved. You then wouldn't have a voice since you are 17. If he likes you and you like him, he'll be there when you are 18. Not that you can't talk with him and stuff. Hope this helps

The primary problems that arise in a relationship is simply life experience. The years after high school are just as much a time of personal growth as the years of high school. There will be maturity differences.
If you both accept that, and try to work around them, and are patient with each other, it can be fine.

If you were 14 for example, then yes, it's bad for obvious reasons.
I know of people your age dating older guys. There's nothing wrong with it as long as you're comfortable with him.
and to answer your question, personally, no. It's not a big age gap. [ thelaura's advice column | Ask thelaura A Question ]

The thing is he's most likely gone through so much more than you since he's in college. And when it comes to 18 and 22 the maturity can be really different. Now, Im saying CAN because I dont know you guys but if it seems really different or awkward between you two in certain situations then maybe its best to end it. And you don't knwo what he's doing at college and 1 more thing is make sure your not just some cute younger girl amusement for him. Like a pleasure relationship and that you guys actually connect. Hope I helped!:D [ HiChick's advice column | Ask HiChick A Question ]
sizzlinmandolin answered Saturday September 15 2007, 6:11 pm: Yes. Age differences mean a lot when you're a teenager. Once you're in your mid 20's it doesn't make that much difference anymore, but since you're 18, it's huge. I'm not saying it's a terrible relationship and that it'll never work out because you're too young. That's not true at all. It is a huge age difference though, which could definitely cause some problems for you. [ sizzlinmandolin's advice column | Ask sizzlinmandolin A Question ]
