is it okay to date a younger man?

I used to worry like you. In fact when I was in college I don't entertain even those just months younger than me, stupid me But as I become older, I realized there is nothing wrong with those gaps. It's nothing but a number. As long as you both have genuine feelings towards each other then that is something you wouldn't worry about. I even have married friends who have 16 years gap, boy is the one younger... but they are happy with their relationship.

I don't think that there is anything wrong with dating a younger person. There isn't a huge age gap between you and him. Only a few years. I think if you both get along well and he's a mature person that you like things could work out good. Yeah I wouldn't worry about the age difference. Hope you start to feel better about it after everyone's response.

Honestly, I've come to the belief that age is just a number. You see, when I was 19-20 years old I was dating a boy that was younger than me since he was 15-16 years old and I can honestly say that I loved him and that we had a lot in common. However, ten years ago I did actually settle down and get married to someone else, he is currently 36 years old and I'm 31. The gap between my own age and the age of the people that I've been with has never been something that bothered me.

For me age is just a number, it depends mostly on how mature can you look up on a lot of things. So for me that's okay as long as you both enjoy and love each other, can't see any problem with that.

Many people often say that man should at least the same age as his partner or younger. Do you know why? As a guy, I would have to admit that girls get mature faster than guys. If you're 20 now, remember the time where you were teenagers. Remember the time when you are concern about your appearance and how people look and think of you. Now, let's compare it with your guy friends whom have the same age as you. I guess at that time, they don't care about anything. All they wanna do is just have fun, party and games. Another reason on why girls pick older guys is because man is supposed to protect his partner. You don't wake up to day, go to work, earn the money and support your husband. In fact, next time, your husband should work harder for you. He should be more experience, smarter and more mature than you. Unless you don't expect much from your partner So, answering to question. I guess you are the one to decide which suit you the most. Hopefully, you consider on what i've mentioned. Good luck:)

Its definately okay to date someone younger than you. Especially since theres only a 2 year difference between you two. In my opinion the only reason why age would be an issue is his maturity level. However, if he's rather mature for his ago, go for it!

I'd say don't worry about age and enjoy the relationship. As time goes on the age difference won't make a bit of difference. I do believe that age is just a number and it is the sharing and love between two people that is important. I have dated men MUCH younger than I am, but I am older so it is a bit different. But go with it if it makes you happy.

I don't really see the problem to be honest he's only two years younger than you ha. hope this helps you.

Don't even worry! 2 years is nothing! A lot of married coupled out there have 3 or 4 year age gaps! It's absolutely fine! My current boyfriend is 7 years older than me but our relationship is wonderful. People will always judge but it's what you believe that matters.

It's only two years, it's nothing to be all worked up about, it's quite fine as long the relationship between you two is going quite smoothly. I had a conversation about this with a friend while going home from school on the bus. We're both in our late teens and we were discussing how dating younger guys really bother us. When you're 17, a girl and decide to date a guy who is like maybe 15, it feels kinda weird because you look mature whereas your boyfriend looks like a kid I don't know why but when you're young dating someone even younger, it feels kinda awkward, even more when the guy is shorter than you. That's why girls prefer to date older guys, especially teenage girls. But then we wondered about our parents and my friend's dad was 4 years younger than her mum and that didn't bother them. It doesn't bother me either because they're adults and a small age difference isn't very noticeable and people don't care. My dad is also 4 years younger than my mum. So I reckon you're fine, once your 35 and he's 33, no one would bother realizing that he's younger than you

Two years isn't much a big gap.My auntie married a man who is ten years younger than her,and they now have three kids and living happily.I know age does not matter because it is love that matters. Just go with him if you know that he is sincere and willing to love you.

don't try to open a long decision with him because i my make him loss you but wait until they know that you more experience than them and then give them advicess

That is entirely up to you and your feelings on the matter. If someone is younger than you and you have a lot in common, then by all means be happy. We really shouldn't care what other people think, since it's you that is in the relationship and not other people. Now having said all of that, I have a cut-off point for how young I am willing to go. It would just be to weird for me to date someone that is closer to my kids age than my own. Two years is not that big of an age gap, and if you are truly happy with this person than date him, but if it's really making you uncomfortable, then maybe you should try dating someone older, but first I would try to figure out why a 2 year age gap is bothering you.

why do ppl always care about the age?as far as I m concerned,dating a young boy is a awesome thing,since I ve never done it before,but I really wanna try!that s so cool!just 2 years gap between U and him,I don t think there are anything can disturb the conmunication of you.do what you want to do girl!

I do think that it's perfectly fine to date a younger man. After all, it's just a number. In my opinion, age doesn't really matter in a relationship. It's not the important thing.

Hi there ckayth! I don't think that's a hindrance. My boyfriend is actually younger than me too. He's 18 and I'm 19. And when we're together, I don't even mind that or remember that because it's a just a number. Maybe if your age gap with him is like 20 years. I think that's the time you should be bothered. Have a nice day!

age doesn't matter as long as both of you understand each other..I think there is nothing wrong about it...

If you are not in serious mood, like marriage and having family. If yes then you should be worried of it but if not, then you must enjoy this only, cause you know after some days after it's over, you'll probably smile on your back days and will think that how crazy things you did in your life, it was a wonderful time loving him....and no age limits.....wow, you ARE great.....

ckayth, Are you kidding me...Is this a joke quiry..When I say your heading I thought you were actually speaking about a real difference in age..But c'mon. you are just 2 years apart. and you are so very very young, both of you.. Just enjoy your life and have fun...those two years should have no effect on your dating experiences..When you are 50 and your man is 25 then there will most likely be a problem...and maybe not....But right now just go head my dear and do you...life is short and you will have a lot of time to worry about real relationship issues...Right now I don't think you have any...Good luck ???

Hi ckayth, i think age doesn't really matter that much in this day and age, I believe my mother was older than my father by 1 year and half. I personally like older women because people younger than me are still probably in college and don't really have that much stable lives yet, the reason why i love older women is that they are more matured and this certain confidence that they have, maybe because she has a younger partner and also I really like women that knows what she wants and mostly older women are like that. So for me, I think it's ok for you to date a younger man.
