20 is still young. Give it time before making such a serious commitment to someone. Some day you don't want to be in divorce court by acting so fast. If it is love it will with stand time...Nicky

wait two more years. theres nothing wrong with your age diffirence. just dont do something illegal. im 29 and my girlfriend is 18. we love each other. whats important is love not age. age is just a useless number we count so that we can tell ourselves we become wiser. what a file of siht. what we are and who we has nothing to do with age, and everything to do with ourself and wagr we think of ourselves. \n\nthe long and short of it is: if you love her and she loves you go for it. just be careful not to end up in jail.

IT IS ABSOLUTELY NOT WRONG!!! 1 year is NOTHING. It is much more about how you 2 connect with eachother than how close you are in years.  I once had a thing with a guy 2.5 yrs younger than me, and we are still great friends, cuz he was an absolutely AMAZING person, and was super cute, and quite frankly was more mature than most guys my age. Guys the same age as me were always pressuring me to do things I didn't want to, but since I was older than him, this boy was SO respectful of me and my decisions and feelings. And what a sweetheart... as you can see, I could talk for hours.  Obviously dating a guy like 5 years younger than you is kinda weird, but just a few years is NO reason to hide feelings for a guy. If he treats you well, who cares how old he is? And if you're worried about being made fun of, then DON'T! YOU like him, and it's YOUR business. End of story. Best of luck with him! <3

No it is not bad to think twice! absolutely not! you are way too young to be serious about whatever it is between you and your guy.  there is much more in life that both of you can enjoy. lay low with the hot stuff of love. love will always be there if it's solid as the rock that you'll have when the right time comes. i say, wait for some time. enjoy life! anyway, life is a box of chocolate... you'll never know what you'll get!

Honey, relationships are all about dealing with each other's problems and yeah...getting into fights.  I have dated my current boyfriend for 14 months, and we are just now starting to talk through our problems without getting all upset at each other.  If you really love her, you need to just work through stuff because it will all work out if it is really meant to be.

I think that you should wait until you do reach 18 before getting romanticly involved with him because too many bad things could happen if you guys get into a fight since you are still a minor. But after you turn 18, you should go for it. I'm 26 and am dating a 42 year old. Most of them still act like they're 15 not matter how old they get. lol

My boyfriend is 43 and I am 25.  We have been together for 3 years now and it is the best relationship I have been in.  I couldn't imagine ever dating somebody my own age again.  They are so immature and in this relationship I feel like there is stability.  I think he will definitely stay with you because men like younger women and if you are good to him and he is good to you, it will work.

nope.. doesn't matter... if you love each other, why not... :-)\nyou know it's better that in a relation ship a man is 5-8 years young than woman, and a man is mature than a woman...

Sweetie, you're only 16.. way too young to be thinking about being so serious about a relationship. From what you said I can feel a strong sense of immaturity espeecially from you. I respect your feelings and all but I do have to tell you that you can't simply change the world because you love him. Life is more complicated than you think my dear. Accept the fact that it is not you who can make that change easier. It is only HIM who can make it easier or harder because that's his life.\n\nWhy not reverse the situation? Why not try to understand the transition that he is going through and allow him to grow-up by himself. If you are really meant for each other, you will have all the chances. When you're both old enough and more mature to handle things, you can still end up being together.\n\nFor now, I say let things be and allow both you and him to grow-up.

The numbers of years difference would not be so bad if you were 33 and he was 48. At 18 you are far too young to be involved with a man that age.... He's lived and you haven't. You have dreams and he should already achieving his... Too many differences to over come. yeah he might treat you very well...but you will come to resent him eventualy and angry for having wasted your time.

I have been in a relationship with my partner since September of 1994.  We broke up a few times in the early years.  The longest period of time was for 6 months.  But we always get back together.  It isn't perfect.  He does not have an affectionate or romantic bone is his body, and I really need affection and romance sometimes.  But I'm not perfect either.  I get moody and depressed quite a bit.  So we just accept each other for who we are.  The big secret to a relationship is compromise.  \n\nNow to answer each of your questions:\n\nWhat are you as a gay man looking for in a life partner?  A best friend.\n\nWhat age range?  A maximum 8 year age difference.  If I was single, I would not date anyone younger than 22 or older than 38.\n\nAre looks more important than what is in the heart?  If so, why?  There has to be a physical attraction there, but looks are not what keeps a relationship going.\n\nIf his heart is more important they why?  There is nothing you can ever do to stop age, but love can stay eternally young.\n\nDo you really want a life long partner?  If so, why or why not?  I have been blessed with a wonderful life partner.  People are not meant to be alone.  Life needs to be shared with someone you love.

well 1st, i am in the same situation now.\ni am 16 but he just turned 19.\nhe tried to propose to me also....at 16 yrs old, yea we do love you. but as women we cant be sure if we will still love you forever and ever, we haven't had time to find ourselves yet. or even really experience life. so when she says no its not a blow on you. we do it to protect you frm gettin hurt in the long run.

If it was like 40 years difference that probably wouldn't work. I don't see any problems with a 30 year old and a 20 year old. It could turn out to be a beautiful relationship.

If you are legal age (you didn't mention your age) then dating him is no big deal if you are both interested in one another.  If there is a huge age difference between you both you might keep in mind that your relationship with him might not be long term, as you might not have much in common.  However, as long as you are of legal age then go for it - who's to stop you.
