Should age matter?

Hi there, I don't think there's anything wrong with spending time with people who are older than you are. Most of my friends are also 5 to 10 years older than I am, sometimes more. Age is truly a number especially when it comes to friendship. The people I'm most comfortable spending time with are those that have the same interests, values and beliefs that I have, as well as our similar life experiences or wants and desires. Generally those things remain the same throughout a person's life. Age does make a difference, in terms of an intimate relationship however, because right now an age difference of 20 years will only be 21 years old to 41 years old, however when you are 61 that same partner will be 81. There is a huge difference in the physical ability and lifestyle of an 81 year old vs. that of the same 61 year old. Also, choosing a partner that is significantly older than you may mean that you may be alone later on in life and that maybe something you want to consider. That is when it comes to intimate relationships, friendships on the other hand should be able to withstand any age difference as is based on an mutual sharing of experiences and ideas. In general, I wouldn't limit my friendships with anyone based on their age. Im friends is someone, because they have the same basic beliefs and values that I do, or are able to respectfully agree to disagree, not because their age, physical appearance or some other superficial physical attribute. Happy Mylotting!

Hello, I think as long as the people you have more in common with have no problem with your age then why do you have a problem with their age?In a few more year it won't be an issue so be around people you like.

I dont think age matters in friendship.Just the person matters.Whoever is true with you in friendship,you can ofcourse continue your frienship without considering the age.Maybe you feel free with elder people than you to share things.EV=ven I have got a couple of friends like that.It actually helps to get better guidance in your action and you can share your personal matters too which they will understand with better maturity.

There's nothing wrong with hanging out with older people. However you should also mingle with people in your age group so you won't be left out in school.

You are of legal age and are allowed to hang out with whomever you like that is also of legal age. If you find yourself happier being with "older" people, and you have more in common with them, there's nothing wrong with that. At this point in your life, your friendships should definitely be based on common interests and compatibility - not age! There's nothing wrong with being friends with someone older than you. A lot of my friends are significantly older than I am, and in general I get along with them better than most people in my age group.

age will not be a problem if the difference is less than 10 years,you are an adult and it's legel to hang out with anybody you want.if you like mature guys,just go out with one you like.nothing is wrong with this.but there is something to tell you that you are still in shool and there might be much difference between you and the older guy.so that would take concerns you much
