Does Age Matter when it comes to dating?

hello onecrazychica, Well if its just a date then why not I hosted a wedding before the girl is 10 year older and the guy was really in love with her and they are happily married now. For me age is just a number if your friend thinks that it is not good still you have your own decision to make just go on to what makes you happy WELCOME TO MYLOT happy mylotting

It's really odd when an older woman dated a younger guy,but when an older man dated a younger woman...it's not a big deal (not so much big deal with) I don't see anything wrong with dating a younger guy your age. It's your choice and it's your life,as long as you are happy. It's just a date,what's wrong with it? Date is fine to know each other well. Listen to your heart,no one can give you the happiness that you are looking for but yourself. Friends can give advice,but in the end,your will,will be done. have a great weekend

I think once you get the legal issues out of the way (it's not so cool for a 40-year-old to be scouting dates at the local high school ) then age shouldn't be an issue. I think more than age, people should look at maturity. I don't like my sister's husband. And not because he's mean or poor or anything like that. I just think, mentally and in terms of maturity, he's too old for her. She has what a lot of people would call an "old soul", which basically just means, she's 27 but acts like she's 40. And he's 37 and acts like he's 80! She's always had a problem picking men who were somewhere around 13 years old, mentally and I think she over compensated with this one. She needed someone who was 27...or even 30... who acts like they're 27 (or 30) to counter balance her old soul. Wow... I went off on a total tangent there. Sorry about that... the moral of that story is the biggest thing to concern yourself with is even though he's several years younger, how do you match up in the maturity department? Do you share similar interests? If so, then ignore everyone else. They'll come around if the two of you really fall in love.

Hi onecrazychica, I dont believe in age. Not all aged are very experienced or younger ones are immatured. So dont worry about the age. In love, most matters is understanding and trust, if you find it on him, then go ahead with your love.Cheers!

It's just a matter of preference. If age doesn't really bother you, go for it! Just make sure that BOTH of you don't mind.

more action in dating a younger guy i suppose.. :) I dont think that age matters if a somewhat older woman dates a younger guy and same holds true for guys.. But if a really old woman dates a younder guy or a really old man dates a younger girl then i find it really gross. But thats just me :)

As long as there are no legalities involved with the ages, I don't see an issue. It really depends on the two people themselves. The biggest age difference between me and a partner has been 12 years ... me being older than him. No one ever questioned it, though, and no one seemed to notice there was any difference at all, at least visually. Bottom line, you have to do what you feel is right for you and not what your friends think is right. It's fine to hear their thoughts and opinions, because I assume they care about you but, ultimately, you make the decision. Good luck!

go for it girl love has no boundaries! i wish you all best if he loves you and you love him then why should it not happen. good luck :)

Anything can seem weird to someone who hasn't done it before, or just doesn't do it. It's tougher for people of different ages to even get to know eachother... everyone we met through school was pretty close to our age, and when you were graduating high school, 8 years younger was a big difference! If you're in grade 12, they're in grade 4! University, and starting jobs, and things like that are along the same lines, you get really used to people right around your own age, so people generally see it in that way. But really, there isn't much of a problem with people dating at any age once they've gotten a bit into their 20s. At the same time though, I once dated a girl who was 21 while I was 29, and that didn't quite go as well, because I was more "hip to be square" and trying hard to fix myself up and settle down more, while she was more free as a bird and didn't worry about what the future would bring... it made a few problems, but you're never going to know how things will go, unless you try it out. I wish the best to both of you!

It depends. For some age really matters but if you really love each other go for it. However, there are certain complications for it. Many won't approve your relationship with him. You have to think it over and over, think of the future when time comes that you will be older. 8 year gap is too long. It's really up to you to decide because it is your life.

i think that it doesnot matter..because its usual .. its become a trend now a days .. as per my opinin now a adays they date for fun not for doing romantic chat or romantic talk ..
