I like a girl that is 22, and we like to hang out together...I'm 42. Is that bad?

She is young enough to be your daughter. Maybe think about that one before you rob the cradle. There is no way she has anything in common with you.

I am 32, husband is 31.\n\nI don't think the age difference is that drastic, having dated a 38 yr old at 19. \n\nI think a lot of older guys like younger women.  Why??? (boy am I going to catch flack for this, ready....?)\n\nBECAUSE THEY'RE NICE.  Women your age (37) have been married & divorced, probably a couple of times by now.  They are overall jaded and in survival mode.  They have kids, probably (which is not that big of a deal but has a lot to do with their priorities in finding another partner, which is as it should be.)  I am not saying all women are like this, but I bet more than a few are, and I bet you dated them too, right?\n\nAt 22, most women are still open to being hurt, and just don't have as much baggage.  I married first at that age & had my daughter- was divorced a couple of years later and was a little bitter & wary.  2 wacko heartbreaking guys later, and I just decided to let go & see.  Enter fabulous now husband.  It's all OK. \n\nI think if you love her, she loves you, and you treat each other with respect and want the same things...\n\nGO FOR IT HONEY!  \n\nAge isn't much when it comes to love.

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.

what is the age difference i mean you dont want to destroy friendships, \n\ntalk to her see if she feels the same, unfortunately it sounds like there is a few years age difference maybe you should just leave it. i could be wrong and sound like a b***h and id be very sorry \n\nthen again depending i always say age doesn't matter as long as your in love but i do mean that t an extent

There's nothing wrong with that! One of my friends is going out with a guy two years older than her-has been for 4 years now.\nGood luck :)

Nothing wrong with dating someone twenty years older if it works for both of you.  And you are at least 18.

This question appeals to me because I have always been interested in men a lot older than I am. I really don't think age matters if the people involved are mature and interested in one another. I always tend to think of the great romances where the men were much older than the women: most of the heroes of classical literature were 20 yrs older than the heroines! 14 yrs is not that bad. All I can say is, whenever I've been interested in a man who is older than me (at least 10 yrs) I have always worried he would think I was too young. I didn't even give a thought that he might be worried I would think him too old! So if the girl seems attracted and interested in you, just go for  it. If she really likes you, your age won't bother her a bit. Good luck! ;)

ask her out. as long as you're legal then ur up for grabs. age is nothing but a # (as long as both numbers r over 18). and @ 30 is when we women look to have a little fun!

age is nothing but a number, only way its not ok is if it really bothers one of you two, no one else matters, i'm a 26yr old guy dating a 36 yr old woman and there is nothting wrong with it, nor is it wrong to be 26 dating a 19 year old

I am 23 and just broke up with someone who was 52 why do you want someone younger? i think its fine as long as both people are okay with it you can email me if you want allison_buchanan2003@yahoo.com

Why not?!  Age shouldn't have anything to do with it, unless she's a minor.  Try it out, you might end up liking it, your already attracted to her so the chemistry is there, and you could end up with something great!

I am 25 and I have dated up to 20 yrs older than me if the person fits with what I like.

No, you should be with someone closer to your age.  I know the difference in years doesn't sound like that many but at this age when you are growing and changing so fast, it really is.

When someone is 24 and her crush is 22, the age difference isn't so much of a deal. If you're younger, though, it can be a big contrast. Think about how much a girl changes from ages 11 to 13. Since guys mature slower, it's possible your crush might not be up to your level. That said, it'd be a shame to pass on a guy who's interesting, smart and cute just because of a number. There's certainly nothing wrong with liking a younger dude, just be sure he doesn't think all girls have cooties! :)

when i was 21 i dated a guy who was 43. it was nice and ironically we did have lots in common as far as interests and goals in life.\nwe had alot to talk about so it's not like it was all physical. he was there when i was sad to rub my back and tell me i'd be alright and vise versa. so like everyone else has been saying. as long as you are of legal age you should be fine. as long as you guys actually like eachother, enjoy eachothers company and have much in common then there is nothing wrong at all. that doesnt mean your a gold digger or a player it just means you've found a refined man instead of a childish boy. ;)

It's not good, it's not bad.  Age doesn't really matter so long as you two like eachother.  Another way to think about it is that it's better that the girl be older than the guy than vise versa because if the guy is older it can look like he's rocking the cradle.  While if a girl's older then nothing outta hand is gonna happen. (Can't deny the double standard)
