does age really matter?

I don't think that the mental maturity hasn't go anything with the age.Some people get wise later in their lives.Some people never get matured till they die.Some people are so mellowed and matured at their tender age itself.There are so many factors and family background that contribute to a person's mental maturity.So it all depends on the person we choose by dating and understanding.Age is not at all a criteria.

Hi coolchai, I don't think that age matters at all unless one really goes to the extreme, certainly five years would not matter. I know quite a few couples with an age difference of more than ten years who are very happily married. While traditionally the man is older than the woman, the trend appears to be changing in recent years. Blessings.

maybe this is just me, but i do think that age does matter.. because when someone's too young or old, their interest arent the same..and it will just cause conflict.. but of course it depends the level of maturity of the person.. :)

I don't think it does. People have their own reasons for being in a relationship. As long as they people involved make each other happy, I have no problem with an age difference...

i don't think it is age that keeps 2 people in love or tears them apart. While age COULD be a factor, it's not the sole basis of what keeps you together or what is going to make you break up. what do you think???
