Hay Guys do you think that age matters between a Relationship.
I am telling it because I recently fall in love with a Girl who works in a Corporate Sector. I am a College student, I have proposed that girl and she does not reject my proposal but she is afraid that what people would say because she is 25+ and me 20+.
I love that girl very much and for me ^^^Love does not depend on Age^^^
What is your thinking????????

hi,
for me, age doesnt matter especially when it comes to love,age is not the reason why do we love a person but it because we really love that person in and out,regardless if he/she is younger than you or what so ever,the important is you love each other no matter what happen.

when you are in love,age doesn't really matter. but when you're in a relationship, it does. study told us that a guy matures later than a girl. in a relationship, or when you are about to build a family, the guy should be the head or the captain. all decisions should emanate from him, reason why for me, i married someone who is older than me because i want him to do his role right. i am not used on making big decisions, so that decision making, as i see it should come from my husband. my role is just to let him see the pros and the cons, then we could sit and talk it over so i could give my suggestions, but he should be the one to decide. after all, that's what a husband should do.
in your case, i think if you are responsible enough to do your role will, even if you are younger than that of your girlfriend, then i see no wrong on it.

Hi ashish, Age does not matter when two two young people are in love.Never let what others think bother you, it is your life and you deserve to be happy. My three sons have wives that are older than them, one by ten years and another by seven. One of my sisters married a man ten years her junior and they had a long and happy marriage. Blessings.

5 years is not enough to matter. Age matters only at certain times of life. If one person is young and the other is say 10+ years then there will be a difference in life experience and energy that can affect a relationship.
20 and 25 are fairly close and as you grow older the age difference will matter less and less. As for what people say about it, ignore them.

If you are both mature and otherwise compatable, I believe that the age difference you mentioned is perfect. I will give you a hint as to why I believe that. I am 76, and my husband is 83. I'm still active, but he has already been in bed for a couple of hours. Wish I could talk to your lady.

Hi!
Love is what matters,not age but some people make an issue out of age.Love can make your relationship last a lifetime not age.Always trust your heart.

Five years, no big deal. And, it will make little difference as the two of you get older. I first met my wife when I was 18 and she was 13. We have been happily married for over 41 years.

I am almost 6 years older than my husband. And look at us we are happy and we will be celebrating our 21st wedding anniversary tomorrow. We already have a 20 year old Medical student for our daughter.
See, it doesn't matter really if you are way much older or younger than your partner.

What matters more is your status in life which clearly says that you are studying and she is working. How will this pan out? You might like to think about this rather than worry about the age difference which according to me should not really interfere your life together.

Friend love is blind and they never thought anything and never seen anything but be careful because love may increase your life or spoiled your life. Now you are not wants to think about it but this is fact of life. At the time of marriage you can face lot of problems and you should prepare for it. If you really love somebody.

It depends on the society in which you are living. In most western cultures such as uk, usa, germany, italy, etc age does not matter in a relationship, people really look for true love and understanding and age is secondary.
Have you heard of the wedding of Whtyney Houston and Bobby Brown ( american musician ) whyyney houston is far older than bobby but they got wedded and they raised children before getting a divorce some years back.
In africa, my own society, age is considered a factor in a relationship. It is expected that a man should be older than a woman. If this is so, it will mean that the man responsibility is to look after the woman and not the other way round. that is why many african woman marry men that are older in age.

I think that differs from people to people. For me my dating age limit would be 10 years. I would date someone who's 10 years older than me. But I don't wanna date anyone younger than me!!
But for you that might be different. If you think that's ok that you date someone older than you than you should totally go for it. Don't let people's opinion bother you. If you love her, go for it. And good luck!!

Age doesn't matter. What matters most is your extreme happiness. When you find having that girl in your life, no matter what happen, so why don't you fight for it? Just be ready to face mobs of ridicules and criticisms but if you really love somebody it's the least thing you can do. Loving also entails tons of sacrifices and hardships. Well, how can we say it's love when it's not rightfully tested, anyway?

In love, there are no rules, no age limits. All that matters is that you love each other. Don't worry too much about what other people might say. Their judgements are not that important. Do what makes you happy. Stay in love and take care of the woman you love.
