I just wanted to talk about Love and the Age Difference. I am 5 years older than my boyfriend. But I do not feel or see the age difference. I have no problem with it and neither does he. Yeah, every now and then, he'll make a joke because I am pushing the BIG 30. But, I was talking to some of my friends, and two of them have the same age range in their relationship. I know another couple that the girlfriend is 16 years older than the boyfriend. And a friend of her's has a relationship with a 10 year age difference. But what I have noticed, that in all these relationships, the Woman is the older significant other. Is there such a limit of an age difference when it comes to Love, or is Love just blind when it comes to Age? It doesn't seem to bother me, but alls I know, is that I am truly in LOVE with my Man!!

Hello here in my place the marriages are usually arranged by the parents, the wife is always chosen as younger by few years then the hubby, well my wife is 7 years younger than me..i think if the wife is young and the husband is very old, say by 30 years there may be problem in love making..
Thanks for sharing.
Welcome always. 
Cheers.

Love overshadow age everyday.Sometimes i hear my friends say that they dont like younger guys and that older guys are more mature and experienced.Well my ex-boyfriend was four years younger and he was so motivated,knew what he wanted and worked hard toward his goals.Yet my boyfriend is already forty plus and still not sure what he wants.he has no goals and dont want to better his life.Just complain about everything and try to make me feel bad.so age bears no bearing on love.

my fiancee is 7 years younger. i believe that age does matter.
as long as we are in love then that is all that matters.
i love my fiancee more than anything in the world and always will.

I could say that it all depends on how older you are than your boyfriend. I once told myself that age does not matter in love. But when it happened to me, I just didn't feel it was right. Something always bothered me. It was because of that, that I decided to break off with someone dear to me. I was 14 years older than him. I felt that the age gap was too far. I felt he is better with someone his age.

Age doesnot matter. As long as love is true nothing else matters.

Hi there mystery_1379... for me, age doesn't matter.. as a young female i prefer matured man because i love to be baby.. i have young boyfriends before, but still the relationship is not that good..maybe, it's really depend on how you manage your relationship...age is not enough, it's the experienced that will make your relationship become strong, also the love and patience you have so that you will have a good relationship and it will make forever and lead into marriage..have a nice day and happy mylotting

Love is ageless. Age is just a number! If someone outside a relationship has a problem with a couples age difference, It's their problem. Ask Ashton and Demi! lol So what if the woman is older? Just goes to show women really do rock! Roar, girl.

When it comes to love it only concerns the two involved. Others may have an opinion but, Who does not? If is true love nothing will matter.

Well unless your thirty years older than him or so, lol, I think ya'll are fine. I mean I did once take that into consideration when I pondered the thought of dating an older person and the thought came to me that if they are significantly older than I, wouldn't they be the first to pass away? I don't think that I could live with out the love of my life I suppose, but I guess if its worth it then go for it. From what you describe though, it seems ya'll still around the same generation and no there is not an age on love. Love is blind and age is just a number.

I think age doesn't matter at all! As of now, I do have this suitor who is 2 years younger than me and i'm thinking of saying yes to him soon.LOL!....I just turned 23 and he is 21 but I feel that he is more mature than me, before I used to think that I need to look for an older guy or something but i did defy it when he started courting me maybe because of the love that he's showing.I've seen also my cousin who is 14 years older than her husband but then their relationship is successful. Well, what really matter most is LOVE not age!

Age is doesn't matter in one relationship if you are truly in love.
It is just a number, it is the matter how you treat each other because of love.
Be proud that you loved and be loved. As long you are happy with your partner, be it.

i'm 14 years older than my girlfriend of 11 years, at the etime we meet it wasn't a big thing but now that im pushing 60 and she's still mid 40's im slowin down a bit and she's still cranking along. she hasn't hit the aches and new pain stage yet that i've had for the last 5 or so years. but things are still good i just dont have the up and go thing still going on. so if i have to i drop a few little blue pills every once in awhile and keep on skipping along.

Age difference doesn't really bother me -- and mind you, I tend to end up with people who're older than me. Usually only a couple years, though. Not decades older...but it'd be both different and a bit cool if that were to happen someday.
Love doesn't care, you know? xD

I do not care about age gaps as long as the love does not occur between an old and a young kid. That is a different story. I have nothing against couples who have big age gaps. I myself belong to them. I am 16 years younger than my better half and he is younger at heart. He loves me so much that he treat me like a baby. We go together and we do not care on what other people may think. We have a six months old son and we are both very proud of him. I have realized that I am so blessed because I have my husband in my life. I would never trade him to anything in the world. I think people are the ones who get blinded by love and marriage is the eye opener. I and my husband got married but we never needed an eye opener because we both were sure of what we entered...the best chapter of our lives!

Well, I do believe that when it comes to Love.. Age does not matter as long as you love each other.. I think that would be the most important. Don't be affected if you hear some negative things about your relationship with your younger boyfriend, they jusy annoy you.
