Hey age doesn't matter! If the both of you are compatible with each other then go for it! That is what matters the most.

it can last, my best friends grandparents have 12 years difference.  It can work, they've been together for 45 years! \nAs long as he's looking for the same thing you are, thats where the most compromise is going to have to go to with age difference.

I think the maturity level of the two persons involved makes a difference, I mean if you are both willing to accept each other for who you are and for how well you get along, similar interests, good communication, respect, and love. If things are good between the two of you, age should not make a difference. My boyfriend is 22 years younger than I am, we have been together for over two years and things are great! I know what you are talking about though. Finding the right person to share your life with is difficult enough. Age should not be an issue. Let him know this, and let him know how you feel about him, that's about all you can do, the rest is up to him.

Having a 13 year age difference is not advisable. That type of age difference is fine if the youngest person is middle aged maybe, but the maturity levels are to extreme with a 14 and 27 year old. The 27 year old is looking at settling down and having a wife; while the 14 year old has hardly began puberty. It is also VERY illegal! Not to sound rude or anything, but if a 27 year old is fine with dating a 14 year old then there might be a problem with the 27 year old.

My parents were 18 years apart, Id have to say, this is fine, or I wouldnt be here  haha.. However.... I think it depends on the age , not the age gap so much, if there 18 y/o and dating a 35 y/o thats not right.... If yer 30 and dating a 45 y/o, I think thats ok, Maturity has to be there... Just my opinion...

No I don't think it's bad at all. There are tons of people who date people more than 1 year old than them. My parents are examples, my dad is 54 and my mom is 49. A lot of people like older people because they seem more mature and serious about things.

no, i was with someone that was 10 years older than myself. age is only a number, & in the long run there should be no problems, because you both would be mature enough to know that age is only a #.

The 2 year age difference don't matter because i am dating a girl who is 13 and I am 15 unless you are thinking about sex and he is too but your nor his parents will let it happen unless you have a dad like mine is and he dose too so age really don't matter to anyone unless it comes to that

my man and I have a 13 year age difference too however when we got together I was 23 and he was 36  now its five years later and we are still together...the difference is a 15 year old girl is not the person she is going to be yet...in 5 years she will resent you for keeping her from all of the experiences she would have had had she not been tied down in a grown up relationship...

Yes. Age is a number and providing the reason that both parties are together is not based on reasons other than love (lust?) then there is not a problem.  That is the question that needs to be seriously consulted however.  There is no law being broken and if they are happy then so what. You must also take into account the maturity of both people.  I knew people at 14 who were more mature than those aged 20, likewise now, I know 25-30 year olds who have the maturity of a late teen.\n\n(and no, I'm not a 40year old dating a teenage girl, I'm 22...and prefer men anyway ;-p)

It is fine. I am 24 and my husband is 35. we are very diffrent in age and it is great for us. Also not to say that it should be done or that it is legal and it has to do with the how mature the girl is. I feel it is fine to have relations with someone under the age of 18. many girls have sex befor the age of 18 but it should strongly weigh on her matuity. I think waiting untill the two people know that they are going to be married in the future is best or even waiting untill they are makes it even better. I know sounds a little harsh, but imagine this the people have just been married and how much more the two will want it and feel the romace of it all if they wait. Everyone has their own feelings about that though. If the two of them date for a couple years it is perfectly legal for the two of them to get married in most states befor the age of 18 and in some states can even do it now, but may still need a parents consent to do so. tell your friend and I am sure he will have even more fun making out how much he loves her to her and if marriage is something he really wants with her in the future making those plans with her too.

15 years isn't that big a difference when you get older.  My wife is 11 years younger than me and we are a perfect match.  I'm sure the man would be happy about being liked by the woman provided the woman wasn't immature, which a 29 year old presumably would not be.

I don't think there is realy an age that is appropriate, because all people have different maturity levels at different times in their lives. I lost mine at the age of 16 and I'm 22. My boyfriend got my drunk and basically took advantage of me. Don't get me wrong, I could have said no, but I didn't. Today I wish I would have waited. Thinking about when my son gets older and if he ever asked mom, when did yo first have sex. Most parents would never hear that so I probably won't, but what if they were to ask? Although, I would never take it back because it got me where I am today, I've been happily married for two years with a gorgeous ten month old son. People make mistakes, but hopefully they learn from them. Society isn't the problem I don't think. i think the parents and schools need to start at a young age teaching values, because they are lacking somewhere.

I was 14 and my love was 18, I know it is not 16 and 23 however my point is - if this is you and your parents are not aware of this relationship someone can get into trouble.  My love is now my husband, almost 25 years later and still the love of my life.  Age differences are only important to those that want to and can create an issue about them (hence parents).  Love does not know numbers...

2 years can be a lot , then nothing at all if your 16 and she's 14 that's a problem .You don't say how old , you may be too young in her parents eyes to date .If your 17 and she's 15 then there could be legal problems .Now when your 23 and she's 21 , That's not the case but can you see what I'm trying to explain.If your 14 and she's 12 ,I'd be very upset your wanting to date at 14.I honestly can't see an answer without knowing the ages .Your shy is not a bad thing ( not totally ) Give yourself some time and get to know the family ( if you can ).With so many very young parents , many of us are guarding our teens from the possibility of it happening to ours,It's not to say your not a great guy , just not the right time . Parents should be respected , they support the children and have earned this right .If you were a parent How would you react ? What age should your daughter start dating ? If young and something happened , would you care that happened ? Sometimes teenagers don't look into the view of the parents .We want you to be happy and date and enjoy life But rules are usually for the interest of the child / young adult .
