How old is too old

Hopefully I don't get stoned for this one. What I say is this. There is some difficulty with age difference at younger ages, my opinion. Sometimes one or both people involved aren't very mature (of course there are cases where its the complete opposite). I've seen some relationships where a 24 year old guy took major advantage of a 17 year old. Neither one was very mature. At older ages when both have a bit more experience, 20s, 30s then a 5 year difference isn't much at all. I must point out however I've also seen people in their 20s and 30s that aren't mature at all, resulting in some abysmal relationships. Younginlove, you've also got to live your life. It really doesn't matter much what the rest of us think. In the end, its all you. Good luck with whatever you choose. Oh and also for a bonus, there are some young people here that are already married and doing fine. So its not always as bad as most people think.

I don't think 5 years is a big matter to you.and i think most of your friends will not care for it.In my country,5 years is the best gap to marry with.women always go older than men,and an older men can be steady-going .they will take care their wifes,and know how to deal in family. Don't consider it,only be yourself and be happy!

Good luck with your relationship. I believe as long as you are happy with the age gap then it shouldn't be a problem. My husband is 7 years older than me and we have been married for 14 years. We met when I was 18 and it didn't bother us or other people.

My first real boyfriend was 5 years older than I. I was 15 and he was 20. My second boyfriend was 7 years older than I. My third is 9 years older than I. I don't think you can put an age on dating. It really depends on the stages of life you are at and do they work together. Mind you I wouldn't want a grandpa yet. LOL

The five year rule.. Just be careful cause u are still considered a minor and he is not. It's not like your 17 and dude is like 38 - 40. Than there would be a problem. Just try being his friend first though. hang out and all. cause with you being 17 and his being 22 you may push him away if you come on too strong. Get buddy buddy with him first, than see what happens

Age doesnt matter to me. Well if you dont see any attraction to this guy then better tell him to back off. And its pretty alarming to know because it might end up stalking you or whatever. Just take care

Once you get to be about 17-18, there really isn't such a thing as "too old" unless he's like 60 or something. I really don't see what the big deal is. My fiance is 2 and half years older than me, we met when I was 16 and he was 19. People act weird about it, but that's just judgmental ignorance. It really doesn't matter.

I don't think a 5-year age gap should matter much. =) I actually prefer my guys to be around 2-5 years older. My last boyfriend was 3 years older; my current boyfriend is 2 years older. Age shouldn't really matter, if it's pretty reasonable. But I wouldn't go for guys who are like 30 years older. I know of a couple who has a 30-year age gap and... well I can't see myself in that kind of relationship. Anyway, go for the 22-year-old guy! =)

I think,5 years isn't a problem.So long as you sincerity fall in love,The age disparity isn't a question.
