Sure.  There's no age limit on love!

It depends on the 2 people dating and how mature they are

That's an awfully big age difference. Did you sit down and think VERY carefully and in detail about your motives before you took action? The reason I ask is that some time back, I managed to fall in love with a guy 20 years younger, and I remember doing some very serious thinking.\n\nIn your case, since you are the younger party, the line of questioning would be a little different, but I would strongly suggest that if you haven't done this already, that you sit down and ask yourself such things as 'Am I trying to prove I'm "really grown up"? Do I like to be taken care of or have someone to depend on? Or, to put it another way, do I want to avoid taking responsibility for my own life?' Etc.\n\nAnd then another thing: in your case, I suppose you would imagine your own mother's questions rather than his, but yes: think of all the tough questions your mom would ask you about this situation, write 'em down, write down the answers to every question you can think of, whether or not it is related to the question of your respective ages.\n\nI could see moving forward in this situation only on three conditions:\n\n1) you have detailed and satisfactory answers to all of the above questions,\n\n2) you have found that both you and he *already have* everything you could be possibly looking for in a relationship with that kind of age difference, so that the relationship is based on something other than 'I need you', and\n\n3) you have found that he has gone through the same process with a positive result.\n\nIf ANY ONE of these conditions is not satisfied, let me suggest that you need to have enough self-respect to avoid dead-end situations from which no good can come.\n\nFor more ideas about things you can ask yourself, somewhere in my Yahoo! Answers you will find a question 'How to get a really, really cute guy to notice you?' or something to that effect (it should be on the last page - it was one of the first questions I answered), in which the bottom line is that the person needs to do a lot of thinking before she takes any action at all. Probably you are a bit older than the person who asked that question, but I think you'll still find something relevant to your situation.\n\nIf you go through this questioning process, you'll either make your present relationship better, or have a good basis to start over again with someone else.\n\nMay God bless you with wisdom as you consider your way and decide on a course of action.

I would be really suspicious if I didn't know basic information like marital status, kids, where they grew up, where they work, where and how they live, how they spend their time and with whom....who are the meaningful people in their lives....and so on. \n\nAside from the basic stuff as listed above, you should also have figured out their (honest) personal views about relationships and how to treat people, their goals in life and what moral guidelines they follow. That should be enough to give you a sense of whether you're compatible enough to go beyond three months. \n\nThe first month, people are usually on their "best behavior", but second and third you start noticing if their actions match up to the way they're trying to present themselves...its an indication of how they'll treat you as well long term.\n\nBut trust your instincts. If you're asking this question, you may feel something is amiss. See how the person reacts if you were to ask about any of the above. If you can't communicate openly after three months, you may want to ask if its worth continuing to date this person.

NOTHING. Age is NOTHING but a number. Two people shouldnt be classified by their age, but by the love they have for each other.

I've been dating my GF for just over a month and we both know it's right.  They say when you find the one you will just know, so I don't think it matter's how long you wait to get to know them.  You are going to learn something new about them everyday, even after 50 years of marriage.  I love my GF in a way that I never thought was possible and I just know that she's the one.  My grandparents dated for 2 months before they got married and they just celebrated thier 48 anniversiary and are in love more now than when they got married.  Just trust your heart!

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 #.

Just bring him over sometime and let them meet him and talk with him.  That way they have the experience of at least having met him first.\n\nBe prepared to talk about it later with them, and address any questions patiently and honestly.  Hopefully, his personality will win them over enough that age won't be a big issue.\n\nI understand it as a parent ... but have also been there ... my daughter dated a 30 yr old when she was 18, and her current boyfriend, live-in, with whome she has a baby, is 37 (she is 23 now).  I can't say much, her father was 14 years my senior, and my current husband is 13 years older than I am.\n\nGive your family a chance.  Maybe it won't be as big a deal as you anticipate.  Also, if they do bring up potential issues, don't just dismiss them out of hand, but consider them first.  Its always good to think things through, even if the conclusion is the same.

A 27 year old who wants to "love" a 15 year old is a creep.  Run away, or wait 5 years.

just wondering why you would want to date some one half your age..... but I guess that would be a no brainier.....but to answer your question......... NO....... not with me....maybe someone else..... good luck though..... I don't see it to be impossible.....

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

here is a little formula I like... your age -7 multiplied by 2. IT tells you the oldest you can date and it will work. (14 -7) x2 = 14.... (13-7) x2 =12 (hence its broken there for 13 is too young to date.)

its normal,i would think its best to date some one who is at least 7years older than you if your thinking about a serious relationship,you wouldn't expect the sort of control and authority from some one your age which you would find from some one older.therefore your its absolutely normal and your on the right track

Thank you "Lady Wyn"...very good answer...I am 42 and my girlfirend just turned 21 and It has nothing at all to do with her age on why we are going out....its all about liking the same stuff....we love the same music, the same books, the same tv shows, the same places to eat....we both love to play pool and love the beach...and in general just enjoy each others company. I have dated women from 18-50 and had a great time with all of them and I don't keep looking for one certian age group....its whoever appeals to me and who I also appeal to...so stop being so shallow!
