On you profile it says you are 19 (I looked because I couldn't figure how to answer this unless I had a frame of reference as to the ages you are talking about). Why would having a girlfriend one year older make any difference to anyone? Think about it this way would you bat an eye and a 79 year old man who was married to his 80 year old wife? If the age difference between you does not bother you two then why would it create any problems? Now if you were a 19 year old dating a 45 year old woman, that could cause issues, but one year?

I think their is something wrong falling in love with someone older then you or younger then you as long that you love each other. Age is just in the mind it's only numbers what counts alot is what you feel, and how both of you work it out. Have a nice day!

i don't think there is any problem with it and it will help as the one who is older will have more knowledge about relationships and emotions and can help in making the relationship stronger. if it is love then "love is blind" and i be ok with it until and unless i feel she is the girl for me

this is one year. it will make no more difference than if you were a year older than her, which I expect you wouldn't consider to be the slightest problem. a year is nothing. it doesn't matter who is older, or by how much, so long as you love each other and are also good friends.

I don't think it is a problem at all. If you love her than go for it. Love never look at age, my friend

Love really has nothing to do with age. One year may seem like a lot now, but in 20 years it will seem like nothing! This is not only normal, but happens often!

It is normal to fall in love with a girl older than you.Age doesn't matter much unless it is 10 years or 20 years.As long you two are deeply in love and understand each other well,there won't be much problem already.So good luck on your relationship!

I don't think age matters, looks does! LOL. Come on, if you are dating a girl who is a year younger, but looks 10 years older, that's weird when you two go out together right? It will look like you're going out with your older sister, or worse, your mother! But of course, it also depends on your maturity and mentality, because it's said that male tends to take longer to mature, hence, if your thinking and hers is world apart, that creates a problem. There's this saying going around that says girls should go with someone 7 years younger than her cause guys tends to die earlier (Please do your own research here alright)! Anyway, I am able to accept myself dating someone as much as 5 years older than me, I am not sure about you, but I will definitely ask you to give it a try! No harm trying it out right? Furthermore, it's only 1 year apart, which is such a small age gap. SO... Happy dating and mylotting!

I think a year older is alright. I have a few friends who's BF or GF is a year older or so. I think as long as you both can communicate and understand each other it is alright. It like what people always say love is love, it can make people blind and it is not understandable. as long you both love each other is ok. All the best

Lolz! It's just 1 yr. difference. Heheh... The girl is not yet a cougar. Hahah.. But even if she's a cougar, I think it's fine for as long as you love the girl.

I'm in love with my fiance who is 5 years older than me. Do we have any problems. No we don't. Age is just a number and it doesn't reflect on the type of relationship you are going to have. If the age bugs you or her than ok fine you shouldn't be together but otherwise if you are fine with it since you have been dating and are in a serious relationship you guys are fine.
