Love older guys..stability, security, sure of themselves, and give them a beer and they fall asleep HA!!! However, love comes in all ages..don't ever be ashamed or feel discouraged about the one you love. Stand tall and strong by your man...believe me, if you don't..somebody else will.\n\nEnjoy life to the fullest.

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! ;)

Sounds pretty normal to me.  Most that I know are into older men though for some reason.  I wouldn't say there's anything particularly wrong with dating an older guy, except that they have other reasons than just love usually for dating younger women.  i.e. bragging rights and such.  ALL men are attracted to young, good looking women, so you'll always get hit on by older guys.  Guys your age are probably still getting over insecurities and such, so that could be part of it.\n\nDon't give up and don't settle, but be careful with the older guys...\n\n*edit* "There is nothing wrong with being attracted to older men who are more likely to be more mature and open to commitment than guys your age. I think its smart of you. "  - That is the most naive thing I've ever heard.  Older definitely does not = more mature or open to commitment.....cripes...so much detail and examples could be given here...

Age is nothing but a number bestowed upon us at our birth. There's nothing wrong with a man in his 30's falling in love with someone whom may be a little older than him. Love works in mysterious ways. Why try to figure out the mystery of it when we can just sit back and enjoy it when it happens.

homey iam 16 as well and i have to say find someone around ur age because most of the tyme those older guyz just want one thing or they just gonna take advantage of you!!! I'm not here to say that you don't know what love is though because i am inlove myself and it's just aggravating to hear that we r to young to know what love is!!! You know what your feelingz are and if you feel you love him then that's fine. BUT i still recommend you to find someone younger because i see it all the time that my friends go out with guys in their twenty's and honestly Mentally, you guys would want different things out of a relationship because you guys are at dufferent stages in your life Most likely he will excpect more from you then you are willing to give into the ralationship!!! Just try to move on to someone ur age!!!

I DON'T THINK YOU ARE CRAZY. I THINK SOMEONE KNOWS WHEN THEY IN LOVE NO  MATTER WHAT THE AGE MIGHT BE. ASK YOURSELF THIS QUESTION WHO OR WHAT ARE YOU WILLING TO DIE FOR? AND YOU WILL GET THE ANSWER YOU ARE LOOKING FOR.\n\nI WAS 16 WHEN I FIRST FELL IN LOVE AND WE STAYED TOGETHER FOR 7 YEARS.\n\nME AND MY  CURRENT MAN WERE ONLY TOGETHER FOR A MONTH OR SO BEFORE WE STARTED TO SAY WE LOVE EACH OTHER. NOW WE HAVE BEEN TOGETHER A YEAR OR SO AND IT HAS ITS UPS AND DOWNS BUT I TRULY LOVE HIM HE IS MY WORLD AND I WILL DO ANYTHING FOR HIM.\n\nSO IF YOU TRULY BELIEVE IN YOUR HEART MIND AND SOUL THAT YOU LOVE THIS SPECIAL PERSON THAN FORGET WHAT EVERYONE ELSE SAYS ABOUT YOU NOT KNOWING BECAUSE THE MATTER AT FACT IS YOU ARE HUMAN JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE AND YOU ALSO CAN LOVE NO MATTER WHAT AGE. GOOD LUCK

What matters is what you feel...Age is not a factor as long as you both feel the same way and sure of each other feelings...Believe me I am dating someone older than me!!!

No this isn't a big difference I'am 17 now and my b/f is 21 now, it really isn't that big deal , it's not all about age, if u guys love eachother u shouldn't care about ur ages just follow ur heart.

I was atrracted 2 a man 33 yrs. older than me. I luv older men.

No. The only thing I have to say to this is you might be passing up some real gems by not dating anyone who isn't at least 5 years older than you. Don't be completely oblivious to them. In fact, I usually look for guys who are a few years older than me as well but I have recently met a fantastic guy who is actually 2 years younger than me! I never thought that would happen!

it's because of the way we treat you!  You want someone a bit more mature then here we are.  You are at the perfect age when a guy in his mid 30's still feels young when he is with someone at your age

Age should not matter in my opinion...Just as long as you truly love each other,you should push everything aside and know that you're meant to be.

There is nothing wrong at all with that. Don't let yourself get wrapped up in the whole 'age thing'.  If he makes you happy and you enjoy his company, then that's all that matters.

Unfortunately, yes.  Guys that age have one thing on their mind, and it's not true love.  Plus, women become emotionally mature far earlier than men, so a girl who is 17 is hard-pressed to find a man her age who can love her the way she needs.  You are beginning to need a mature, emotional, spiritual love, and guys your age just aren't able to do that yet.  Some never gain the ability, sorry to say.  Just keep looking and have faith that the universe has someone for you.  Humans weren't meant to be alone.\n\nBlessed be :-)

Kinda have to laugh at that one. I don't even think of late 20's as a age difference. I'm 36, recently dated a 28 yr old. We would occasionally laugh and he'd call me a cradle robber, and i'd call him a silly boy, but it's all in play. As long as you are emotionally responsible, then the conversation should flow naturally. (I'm into 80's music and star wars~~ yes geeky, I know, but typical of the ladies my age....).... Try starting with stuff like that.

It's ok to have a crush on someone older than you, I was a sophomore when I met my bf (who was in 8th grade) and it always feels like we're the same age.  But you should be careful, some boys can be real jerks, especially high school boys. so just don't let your guard down :)

Well your situation is "uncommon", maybe you're young.. but, who cares about age?... the whole point if you and the guy likes each other, well I guess it will work... but, you haven't told when you start to date with him... To be honest.... just, go for a good relationship... if he loves you a lot, he will move where you at, (sorry to be kind of mean).. this is no stupid... love is something wonderful..
