Leave your husband first, otherwise change your name to Whore.

Your age right now makes all the difference.  You may not understand the reasoning behind the decision to not allow you to date him, but I promise there are good reasons behind it.  I've been there, and it was one of the big mistakes in my life.  Be young, enjoy it, embrace it.  You'll be older soon enough

when i was 21 i was going out with a girl who was 16. we had a great relationship for almost 2 years and if i had a chance to do it all again i would. the only problem was that as she got older and matured we drifted apart but that can happen with any relationship no matter what age you are. give it a try but don't let him use his age and experience to get you to do anything you don't want to. good luck, hope all goes well

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!!!

You have to wonder about a guy that can't get a WOMAN his own age, but has to resort to dating a TEENAGER. He's too old for you. Stick with guys your own age.

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

There's nothing wrong with it, especially if your feelings are genuine, but keep in mind that you could get hurt pretty bad given you start up a relationship. He could use you, or date you for a while but then flat out tell you that he's uncomfortable. Six years is not that big of a difference, but even age differences like that could result in some professional frowning-down on his part (like if he has a big corporate job and they find out he's seeing someone younger). But like I said, six years isn't that MUCh of a difference to be worried about. I knew someone who was about 19 or 20 and she dated a 36 year old guy, but they broke up because of the age difference.\n\nI just read your edit...I have to tell you that twenty is a whole different world from fourteen. So like I said, be careful!

well, it helps if you give us a topic to give advice on, but since all 16 year old girls are the same, i can pretty well guess. No, you shouldn't date him, you aretoo young and need to enjoy life a little more and he's  a schmuck anyway, your parents love you despite how they might treat you, and your school should be your number one priority. but you think you are too smart to listen to me anyway.

I always used to seem to date younger guys, then I met my husband and he was 4 years older than me.  That's when I realized that all the little twerps I'd been dating were completely immature and selfish.   If you get along, and they're what you're looking for, who cares about the age difference.  Though I will say, when I was 18 I was a lot more gullible and trusting than I am now, so just watch out.

Sounds like a delimma...Do what is in your heart.  You can date the new guy while keeping in contact with the old guy.  Just be honest about things.  Sometimes you really like people at first but it fades.  My man I met when I was 13 it was long distance.  We finally hooked up when I was 19 and have been together 16 years.. good luck.  There is no wrong choice

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 #.

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.

It's not wrong at all if he makes you feel good while the two of you are together.  But you have to think realistically about the long term thing.  He's still very young so he may see things differently then you do.  Just enjoy the time that you do have.  That's all you can ask for.

There is not a thing wrong with a 14 and 16 year olds to date each other. As long as you understand what dating is. \nMany think dating is a relationship but that is not the truth. Dating is spending time together sharing in activities and having fun. It is to enjoy each others company while getting to know each other. \nAlso many may disagree with me and call me old fashion but, I urge you to take things slow and really get to know each other and try not to pressure each other into a relationship. There is no rush and enjoy your teen years for once they are gone there is no going back.

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!

Nothing is wrong with it as long as it is consentual and a relationship based on respect and affection.  When I was 18 I dated a 44 year old guy, we stayed together for 3 years and we're still great friends.  \n\nHowever I've also known older men that prey on younger women and men because they are less experianced, and use them for sex, like that they can easily control them, or fetishize them to a startling extreme.  That is not cool to me because it lacks the fundamental respect for their partner.\n\nIt doesn't matter if your bf is 18 or 85, you should both be treating each other as equals with respect and no exploitation.  That advice goes to couples who are the same age too.

A 2-year difference is no big deal....look at it down the road...your 36 and he is 34...not a big deal at all.  If your attracted to him, go for it and see how it works out...guys that are 18 are usually flattered when an older woman (yeah...I know 20 is not old) expresses an interest in them. .
