Do you see age difference as a problem?

Ive been with my b&#92;f for 7years now.I'm 23 now,he's 7yrs older than me.For the first 4 years our family's had issues with us being together.we moved in together only 3months into it while i was living with a girl friend.its had its up and downs but has been a great life.my advice to you would have to be,that you continue strong in the relationship that you have,don't worry to much about the negativity that continues to linger around you and your man.If he makes you happy and you know that he is all good for you,then you have nothing to worry about.wish you all the best....

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!!!

An age difference of 13 yrs might not be a bad thing,but if one of the people is under 13 they should wait until he/she is of legal age to avoid legal problems.

I think that the older we get, the smaller the age gap becomes.  Ex.  There are 8 years difference between you now.  At your age, that may seem like a lot, but when you are 30 and the other is 37, that doesn't seem so bad.  Back to an actual answer:  Do YOU think the gap is too big?  I agree that things will be different when you are 18, but if you are truely interested in the other as a person, then I think the age gap is dismissable. But that's just one person's opinion.

Im not sure what peoples concern is with "proper" anything. As long as the male and female are consenting adults I think you should be more concerned with compatibility than with age difference.

Not absolutely..The age does not matter if both them feel and understand each other in very good sense.

honey, if you're married then the age difference should be the least of your worries.

No I don't think it's bad at all. There are tons of people who date people more than 1 year old than them. My parents are examples, my dad is 54 and my mom is 49. A lot of people like older people because they seem more mature and serious about things.

Do you think you would have the same feelings for him/about him if he was closer to your age?  Society puts a lot of stipulations on this type of relationship.  My first love was a man who was 12 years older than myself (with whom I had a child) and I was married to a man 17 years my senior.  The age factor didn't bother me, but it did bother my husband.  He felt a little insecure with our age differences - he thought I would wake up one day and want to be with a younger man.  That wasn't the case at all.  We had fun together - laughed, good experiences - and not so good (like all relationships).  We had differing viewpoints on some issues, but nothing we couldn't agree to disagree on.  You need to ask yourself if you feel as if you would be missing out on something in life if you decided to stay in a relationship with this man.  Are you compatible in other ways?  Do you both want the same things out of life?  Are you happy?  Where do each of you see yourselves in 5 years - together or apart?  What about children?  No relationship is a piece of cake and with an age difference it makes it a little more difficult, but not impossible.  Follow your heart, do what makes you happy.

Honey, as long as this guy is nice to you, understands about the difficulties such age differences mean, and is basically a good guy then date him, have fun, but don't let him press you to do things you don't want to. I married a man older then myself and have been very happy. It takes longer for men to mature then women so really he is basically your age right about now. So the real question is do you want to date some one who is the same age as you? lol

The thought of dating a guy that's younger than me for some reason freaks me out. I'm nearly 19 and I've been dating my boyfriend for 2 years and he's 23. Our age gap works out wonderfully. I think as long as you have a lot in common and you're at the same/ver similar point in your lives the relationship can work. \n\nThat being said I personally wouldn't date anyone over 25 at my age. I'd be wondering why they were interested in someone so much younger.. It disgusts me when I see a man in his 40's + with some teenage girl. Ugh makes me think he should be castrated.\n\n-Elise

No i think that is perfectly fine!!! Well i would think that when me and my better half got together i was 20 and he was 29, 3 years later and we have a awsome strong relationship, i was ready for something serious to plant my feet into and so was he, we had alot of things in common, i mean yes there are times when i think wow hes really been around alot more then i have and i can feel a little bit intimidated, but in the long run im thankfull he has those experiances to help guide our steps, I think he has come to believe that im never going to be perfect, even though i really try to do everything well, im not completely at his level on thinking, he has more life lessons to reflect on, but i dont think its a problem when we both discuss everything and keep the lines of communication open, just like any other relationship, my best friend is in the same boat, her husband is 10 years older then her and oddly enough shes the more responcible one, i dont see why any one would think its wrong, now if you were 25 and she was 15 there might be a huge responce to you sick mo fo lol but i dont think there is anything wrong with you liking her, ask her out, she might be into older guys, and with good reason, guys that are 20-24 are enough to make you want to puke, they only want one thing, they havnt figured out yet theres more to life then a nice set of boobs lol they dont know how to deal with money worth a crap, they only look out for themselfs, where older guys have alot more figured out, theres so many more perks to dating a older guy i could go on forever, more or less your more established at 30... id say go for it :) you have nothing to lose

Heck yeah!!!  All that matters is if the two people are compatable.  Age is just a number.

I've got a 31-year-old friend dating a 56-year-old guy...and neither of them have been married. All that's important is that the two of you are happy. Don't worry about what other people think.

When we became older, we think back with "anger" to our youth's lost opportunities. It's better to solve the problem now, otherwise you'll be sorry forever. You shouldn't feel less because the age difference, if you feel uncomfortable you can't relax and a good relationship beyond chemistry it's exactly this. If it isn't work out how you want, you can move on with your life.

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)

There is NO problem. The ONLY problem there would be is if you and your hubby had the problem.As long as you both are fine with it then all is well. It's your guy's life not there's. I'm 31 and my hubby is 38 and we make an awsome couple. As long as you both are cool with it then it's NO ONE Else's business...
