Age doesn't matter to me.. UNless either one is married..
Because love has got no boundaries and love is unlimited.. If both parties truly love each other, y should they bother about age?? Age is just a number to represent one's maturity that they should have at their age.. But it's often not the case.. So to me, age does not matter ^_^ hugzz and muahhhhhh muahhhh muahhhh muahhhh muahhhhh

depends on the person... but for me it does matter.. i do not want a may december love affair..it is ok for me to have a younger bf but only younger by a year and not more than that..It is just that i am not comfortable having a relationship with those younger and older men..if older i think of them as my dad or grand father..when younger i see them as my little brother..so it is really hard for me to have that kind of relationship.

yeah, people always say that age doesn't matter in love. That's true really. But uhm, first reactions would be always like: huh?...know what I mean? Like, eyebrows would be raised as an initial reaction. but after that, people would just kinda accept that. Well...some of them that is.

Well.. I have such a friend too. The boyfriend is 20 years older and they have been together for more than 4 years. The girl is my good friend and I know the guy well too. I can see that they seriously love each other. Initially, I was afraid that the guy is not serious and my friend might be hurt but time has proven that they are true to each other. I see no problem with them being together.
As for me, age does matter. I wouldn't want anyone too young or too old. So far, I haven't had anyone too old pursuing me but I do have guys younger pursuing me. I think younger guys seem to lack maturity.

As most say, love conquers all and age isn't an exception. As long as the couple is happy and they love each other to the bottom of their hearts, they would be perfectly fine. There will be challenges along the way as with most couples, but once they have gone through and get past these, they can't get any prouder to have each other.
I have seen one. An 18 year old boy and a 54 or 56 year old lady, I forgot the exact age. It was shown a few years back in Channel 7. Some may not like it, some may love it, but it doesn't matter to them. Their love for each other have made them strong.

hehehe im back with vengeance too lol anywayz back to my topic, for me age really matters, i usually date a guy who's 1 year younger than me or 2 years older than me.. with regards to age, it's fine with me if he's 2 years younger than me or 6-7 years older than me. in fact i used to have a suitor who's 18 years older than me lol come to think of it, he's already on his college & i'm still a baby hehehe.. anywayz thanks for the compliment.. have a great day!

For me, AGE DOESN'T MATTER because we cannot control our feelings at all. When we fall in love that's it. But be sure when falling in love you were not hurting somebody, right?
When love is there, we are not asking in return and even questioning about age factor. Unless you are ready to start a relationship and knows how to handle it, there will be no problem with that.

Hi
I think it depends on each person and their outlook. If the age doesn't matter for both the husband and wife then it will be OK. These matters may differ from individual to individual. How do they think and feel about each other an so on. If we take your friend's case she may not accept another man of the same age as her husband. It might be because of the personality of this particualr man and his character or the behaviour towards her, made her to accept him as her husband. In some special cases the age doen't matter - I mean this much difference in age doesn't matter.
In my opinion a difference of a few years doesn't matter in relationships. Age is not the factor which determines the success of a relationship there are many other things like trustworthiness, caring, love, sharing the emotions with each other etc. etc.

I don't think age really matters about the relationship.But in our true life,there's a couple with a 28 years old husband and a 56 years old wife.Although the husband is 28 years older than the wife,they live a happy life.So I think in the future, there will be more and more couples with old husband young wife,or old wife young husband.

I'd go for age does'nt matter.I am on the situation right now.I don't care if my partner is much older than me,as long as i know we could get along each other.Older partners have many advantages like they are more experienced than the young one's especially in different fields.Not talking only about..... you know!!!I felt i am a princess with my partner now,he's very caring.Whenever i've done wrong he always see to it that he corrects all my mistakes.And old men are responsible,you will feel secure with them.I'ts really ok!!!dont be bothered for your friend.Be happy for him/her

What of if it is the other way round? Some years back in my country, there is a guy, whom he was 26 year and got married to 72 years old lady 5 years ago. There a saying that says love has got no curtain. Again a research was done and found that many old single ladies are after young men for relationship, while the young jobless men are after single and working ladies. Again where I stay there is a wealth old man of 74 years he has got 3 wives and he married a girl of 25 years as the 4th wife. So with the modern trail of economy people care less.

Me and my girlfriend are 10 years apart. I dont think it is a big deal. But 20 some years there could be some problems with that. Sometimes I tell my girlfriend hey do you remember this song or movie, I saw when I was in High School and she tells me Um no I was in Kindergarten. And then I notice the age difference. To think I was in high school and she was in kindergarten. So I can imagine if there is a bigger difference. I mean lets face it, he could be her dad. So in that retrospect I think age does matter.

hahaha you're right in fact her mother is around 55 or 60 years old lol
her husband & her mom are the same bracket of age hehehe.. actually, this is her 2nd husband, her first husband is the same age as hers but it didn't work well, now he met his husband & i'm sure she's happy with him despite of having an age gap..

It depends let say in my country women tend to marry foreigner just to uplift their way of living specifically to help their family even if it means marrying a person double of their age or more.They don't mind because they are doing it for the family.Even if it means that they will be stuck in that situation God knows how long.Its most of the time about the money to send their family.But there are also times that they found love late I sure hope that that's what your friend found.
