does age matter when two people are of age?

Tanya, if you listen to the advice people give in here you are going to drop the love of your life like hot potato, just listen to your heart and do what is best for you and your future. My advice is this : take time to know each other better, know what he likes and does not like, dont show him your fears about the age difference, act mature towards him and not like a little sturbon girl. There is this theory that says that women tend to grow two years a head of boys of the same age so if we do the maths well you are 23 years and he is 30. My father is exactly 11 years older than my mother and right now my mother looks older. so as they say Age is nothing but a number. I wish you happiness.

My mother is 9 and a half years older than my father. The first job my father had after he graduated high school was where he meet my mother. My mother had already been through nursing school at this point. But they had common interests and got along well together. Now they have three daughters, 11 grandchildren and I've lost count on the great-grandchildren. I don't think age matters. What matters is that there is an attraction, that you share some common interests, that you get along well together. Some people can be very mature at 21, yet others can still act like they are 12. So don't wory about numbers!

LOL I know your situation. I was/am living it! I met an older guy while out with friends at a bar one night, very good looking, a gentleman, with a somewhat gothic side to him, which was great because I'm the same way, separated from his wife just like I was separated from my now ex-husband, with 2 kids already, and I already had a son. Great conversationalist, more life experience than me. He is now 32 and I'm 23. Guess what?! It is now 2 years later, and we are married with a new baby boy on the way! We have a fantastic relationship/marriage, he stuck with me through all the horrible crap my ex was trying to put me through, and he loves my son like his own. He even told me he wants to adopt him! Even though he's 9 years older than me, he's never judged me by my past mistakes or lack of experience in life compared to him. He loves me for me, and absolutely treats me like his equal. Age difference doesn't matter as long as you are both serious about it and you of course are both of legal age, like you and this guy are. You just need to give it a little time, keep talking, maybe go out on a few dates with him, don't sleep with him, and eventually ask him once you've been dating a little while where he sees it going. You are entitled to have that conversation. It's your right when you're looking for/wanting a serious relationship. If he just wants to have a fling, you'll see it through his actions and words, usually pretty quickly. Good luck!

Yes and No. I have an ex who was 10 years older than me. I was 24. He was 34. We had no problems age wise. We were basically in the same places mentally and that worked out fine. Age wasn't a factor as to why we're no longer together. I also know a guy who was about 32 dating a 21... but their relationship did not last because mentally they were in two different places. age can make a huge difference if two people are in two different places. Say...one is successful and has their own house, car, etc. etc. The other works odds and ends and likes to go out and party and is unstable. That's two different mental places and they don't always work out well. The best thing you can do is hang out with him and talk to him and see how it goes.

i think it doesn't matter about the age. It whether the person is mature enough. he or she can be at any age. If they are not mature and dont know what they want. they are not worth wasting your time on. U need to be sure that both of U are on the same page when it comes to your expectations of the relationship, and the future. U both respect one another and see each other as equal. U are willing to compromise on things. u and your friend may not have the same opinion about things. Thats good. That is what keeps the things spicy. If u want to know if he will take u seriously his actions toward u will tell you. Dont ever take what he says to U at face value. U could get our feelings hurt. Those who talk the talk dont always walk the walk. i hope U know what i mean. hope what i said helped u. have a blessed day.

hi, i think that love doesnt know ages if you two love each other you should go for it but dont do anything that you will regret later

Well it depends on the two people and if they are mature enough. I have a sister - in - law that was 21 when she met my brother and he was 36 when they met. They are celebrating their 25th anniversary in December. I also have a mother in law that married someone that is 23 years younger then her, matter of fact the step father is younger then my husband and they all get along very well. They celebrated their 25th last year. Same with my father in law, he married a lady that was 16 years younger and they too celebrated their 25th last year. Just remember that just because you are attracted to someone does not mean it will last. The main key to any relationship in my opinion is trust - feelings - simular intrests - stability - health. My experience comes from 24 years of marrage and our commitment to each other is challenged every day. Do we argue? yes do we have problems? yes but we always talk about differences when they arrive. hope this helps and hugs

I don't know if he is interested in you but I do know is that I have seen couples were a man is way older than his wife.

No one else can tell you what's right for you. People will have an opinion about everything you do regardless of what it is. If you want a relationship with this person get to know him and don't be hung up on his age. Some people are immature at 40 so age may or might not have anything to do with how they act. My father was 17 years older than my mother. I'm five years older than my boyfriend. Like some people say age ain't nothing but a number. It's up to you to decide if it's right for you who cares what other people think.

hey age doesnt matter im 19 my partners 25, it only matters if you let what ppl say to you get to you
