Is a 22 year old guy too old for a 16 year old girl?

It really depends. first lets look at this from a legal point of view. It might be against the law in your state for a 16 and 22 year old to be together...as in sexually...as in statutory rape... as in 3 to 9 years jail time. But from another view. It really depends on the people in the relationship. A strain can develop from you two being on different levels, intellectually, mentally, physically, emotionally, experience wise, etc. you don't want to be talking about what happened at lunch at school while he is talking about the latest college parties or work whatever. There may also be a problem if your parents/guardians don't want you dating somebody who is that much older than you. I won't say that 22 is too old for a 16 year old but it may be more work than you should have to commit to as a 16 year old. PS older boys are in to older things(things you may not be ready for.)  what ever you choose BEST WISHES!

You don't say how old you are or how old she is....It could be okay if both of you are of legal age.  I have a feeling one of you isn't.

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...

I do. Guys my age (19) and younger are usually idiots when it comes to relationships. Am I going to go for a guy over 35? Unless you're talking Liam Neeson or Sean Connery, not too likely. But I'm more likely to go for them than your standard 18-year-old college freshman who thinks it's hillarious to talk about getting so drunk he puked on his new shoes at last night's frat party.

Yes.  It is better for a woman to date a guy who is older because of the differences in maturity, but if a woman is okay with that, there is nothing wrong with it.

All the girls I ever have dated were older than me. Nothing wrong with that, as long as he is old enough to day anybody. Now if you are like older than 18, and he is like 16, then don't be doing the nasty with him till he is 18 too!!!!

I'm not sure I understand. Do you want to fascinate her? The answer would be, you have no business doing so. If the question is, you have fascinated a 16 year old, and you don't know how you did it, as I was 16 once myself, an older man is always more exciting. Because to a 16 year old girl, 16 year old boys are childish.

If the age gap means it's illegal in your country then the simple answer is "no". However, if it's legal, then there's nothing wrong with there being an age gap really. So long as both are WILLING participants, then there's really no issue.

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! :)

as long as you're both at the age of consent or older... you're cool... 27 is more than an appropriate age

i don't think that is a matter of age but a matter of how close you two are emotionally. you'll know when you're ready.

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.

As long as both are consenting adults it's nobody's business but their own....   Age is only a number and state of mind-it's what's in the heart that counts...as long as u keep it real anything's possible
