Well, it's not that tragically, but I recently realize that all my boyfriends in the past were younger than me. Even the current one is younger (only 6 months ). It's a big hit for me because in non of the relations I haven't fell like the older and more wised one. Quite a shock! The youngest i have ever been was 3 years younger than me and I have never felt like I was his mother. ( Probably I pick them good!!! LOL) Ok girls, have you ever dated a younger boy/man and guys what do you think of a relationship with an older girl/woman?

Why is not Ok. If a girl dates 5-7 years younger guy that's huge news and everybody talkes about but it's fine when a guy does it. I find it chauvinistic!!! I'm sorry an so harsh but I don't like when people judge by gender (or anything else, by this matter).

If you 'always' fall in love with a younger guy, I'm sure they were more mature than you are isn't? Well, what do you think, do you think you can fall in love with an older guy but immature?

Even my crushes, before I mature enough for real feelings, were younger or my age. So I don't know if I'm able to fall in love with an older guy!

Okay, that is nothing. My boyfriend is four years younger than me, so three years is nothing to me. One of my friends is currently with a man that is about eight years younger than she is, but we really don't make a big deal out of it because we knew what we got into when we began dating these guys. It is something that you have to be open to. You can't help who you fall in love with.

Well good for you if you like younger guys. For me, I never really liked anyone younger. My husband likes younger girls. Ever since he got out of high school is girlfriends have been getting younger and younger. And if you couldn't tell. I like older guys. But for me age doesn't really matter. If an older woman likes a younger guy...who cares. The same goes for men. I think as long as there is real love there then anything is okay.

I usually date older guys. This one time I dated someone younger than me (only for 8 months or so) it was horrible! I thought of him like a little boy that wants his lolly and he indeed was. I broke it up with him since I couldn't stand the fact that I had to drive him around (too young to own a car) and stuff like that. Haha :)

My friend never experienced it, she going out with a different man with his 6 year old, but in the end do not last long because not long courtship of my friends always asked to buy his clothes, borrow money, to ask for credit for his phone he asked a friend me.

I've never dated more than a year or two younger or older than me. But I also haven't really dated. I met my husband in high school and we started dating right after we graduated. At that point anyone younger was too immature and anyone older didn't have anything in common with me. Now that I'm older I probably could go a few years either way without noticing much of a difference. I don't think someone 3 years younger than you is that much of a difference. My uncle married a woman 13 years older than him. My father in law is 13 years older than my mother in law. I think age is really just a number.

Age was never a factor for me when I was dating. At one point, I've dated a woman who was 28 years older than I was. Her youngest daughter was 2 years older than I was. Age difference wasn't issue at all. Matter in fact, her 2 daughters were happy that their mother was dating again. We even made a joke when we went to one of her daughter's house for thanksgiving dinner. Everybody was really cool about it. Youngest woman I've ever dated was 7 years younger than me. Not that I've dated a lot but out of the one I've dated, majority was older, weather by 6 - 8 month or by few years.

Well, I had a boyfriend before who is a year younger than me and it never bother me. I still believe in the saying that age does not matter as long as both of you truly love each other. Good luck..

hello turist1! i have dated younger men when i was in college until my marriage, i married a man younger by 4 years and seven years later we separated. now, i am in a relationship with a man older than me by 5 years. all i can say is that there is really no difference dating a younger or older man, maybe as long as you're both in the same league. what i mean is the age difference is not that blatantly big which causes much difference in opinions, views and lifestyle, say 15 to 40 years age difference, lol. based on experience there was really no difference regarding age. what really matters is the guy should know how to be emotionally present in the relationship. age-difference irregardless, a guy should be mature enough to handle serious relationships. a tiny difference though i have observed, now that i am in a relationship with someone older than me is that, i am more comfortable expressing myself to him, be it during my lovey-dovey moments or emotionally. i guess, i feel more at home with someone older because i feel self-conscious sometimes acting like a child infront of someone younger than me.

sorry . i am a boy here , but i want to answer your question here. and it's generally for girl to marry with the boy younger than herself. and more and more girls do this. because they feel that's good and happy.that 's the good thing for boy . and boys could find more things to do to look after the girl ,so you and you bf will be so happy. best wishes.

My boyfriend is 2 years younger than me, but to be honest we've never really noticed the age difference, so to speak. I guess it depends on the person :)

I am older than my present bf now. Personally, I would prefer to be with guys who is older than I am. I guess, age does not matter when love comes your way. Age was never an issue to us. Even when we first met, we already know each other's ages. Yet, it was never a hindrance to our feelings and never an issue. Good thing, we are both adults, so perhaps that helps.

Hello there! I have already experienced having some relationships that the guy is younger than me. The youngest of them was 5 years younger than me. The reason for that is he's really cute and the crush of the whole campus. Then when we were already together then it has been not the ideal relationship that I was expecting being with him. The experience with him was like a roller coaster ride wherein there were lots of high and low moments. He is also very childish and there's no sense of direction. I really don't know if the reason for him being like that is because of the age gap wherein he is grabbing the opportunity that he is younger and he thinks that it was ok for him to be childish. There were young guys at such a young age wherein they are already responsible for themselves and not childish anymore. For some older guys, I felt that I am the one being pampered all the time. It is also nice that I am able to have a good conversation with them because I am learning a lot of things from their experiences in life. these are the major differences that I had found out having with the younger men and older men that I have been with. I hope you will also find out the difference too for yourself. Good luck!
