So.. my big question is.. how much does an age difference matter? Does it depend on the person.. or people I should say? If there's a significant age difference in your relationship how do did you look past it? How did you GET past it? How much attention do you give people that don't understand it? Or maybe look down on you because of it?

i dont believe in age i believe in living.too many times i think men and women limit themselves based on a number.if you are healthy and happy,then the number of times the earth has gone around the sun since you were born dosent matter.

it's not really the 'age factor' that matters most in relationships; but the maturity of the people involved. how do you look past it? FIRST, acceptance. Once you've accepted that their is a very significant age gap between you and your partner then that's the only time you'll be able to develop and nurture that commitment to someone. Don't bother much on what other people are saying, your happiness depends on you actions.

Honestly, I do not think that age difference makes that much difference. It is maturity level that makes the difference. I have dated guys that are more that 10 years older than me, but I never really noticed a maturity difference. Obviously there were things in life that they had experienced, that I hadn't. They were established in their jobs, they had nice houses, but as far as hanging out, we were on the same page. It just depends on you individually, and what you are looking for in a relationship.
