My Aunt and Uncle's age gap is crazy. It's around 20 years.
My friend's 18 and she dates someone who's 22.

I also met a couple at Pride this weekend and one was still in college while the other was around 30 something.

I don't really care about age gaps.
I've never really dated anyone younger than me except once.

in one sense yea i can see why ppl say that yea age is just a number,
its true in one sense but i do actualy reackon that age plays a huuge role in relationships.
being only 15 (nearly 16) i havent actuali had many relationships so i wouldnt properly kno coz most have either been my age or just a slightly bit younger, so that didnt matter to me,
but there was one person who was 21 and i'm 15, and it made a hell of a difference,
theres restrictions depending on age, ie. they may be able to do stuff you cant and it can put a strain on your social life,
like under a certain age you cant go into bars or clubs etc.

kinda does your head in after a while.
so yea, but then everyone is different, and ppl sees things differntly so ts all down to the ppl i guess.

i think i'll stick to ppl like my age and max bout 2-3 yrs older lol. i think i can handle that ^^

well, people make a big deal that love isn't limited by race, religion, lifestyle, and orientation... well why not add age to it. It just seems to be a common sense thing and should not be limited by law. Human emotion knows no bounds; therefore the emotion of love should know no bounds.<br /><br />Post edited by: Jebs24, at: 2007/07/08 16:50

I dont know i t if i agree to that. I dont think age matters at a certian point.As for dating you can date at 14 if your old enugh to drive in some places why couldnt you date.I like a little age diffrence. Its not a big deal once you get to a certin age.

in my opinion i think age begins to matter less and less the older it gets. For instance someone who is 16 and going out with a 21 year old is not frowned on as much as someone who is 20 going out with a 25 year old. its the same age gap, but not as problematic. If you really are into each other i dont see why it should matter to anyone. its societies problem

As long as 2 people get on with each other, are on the same frequency, able to talk openly and freely to each other, have a laugh with, fall in love with then the rest of the details become less and less important.

Well, who am I to say....I explored my sexuality when I was 21.

I think that as long as you love the person you should be with them, no matter what the age difference. Age is only a number.

personally i'd say small age gaps like 2-3 years aren't a problem even in teen years, and besides its more bout love than anything else if two people like each other that much age shouldn't be a barrier. my cousins 16 and is going out with a 20 year old and thats not caused any issues. N i've got mates who are 15 and 16 (i'm 18) and can easily relate to them, so matureity realy isnt that much of an issue either.

this sorta topic could have very differant points and opinions due to race, sexuality, age and personal growth.....

personally i would like a bf who is my age because then we would hopefully be into the same things such as partying nd stuff, however, sey i was with a 20yr old guy they may be more interested in work and they career....

my age diff is probably 17 at my current age... i dont have many reasons why just because an 18 year old just sounds much older, however wen he turns 18 then i would probably be in love with him and age wouldnt make a differance..

anyway, thats my veiw and i may have other ideas but i dnt rele know how to express them properly

anyway bubi xxx

At the moment, I'm setting myself a personal boundary of within two years of me (so 14-18). Once I'm out of high school I'll probably widen that up gradually. I think as a teenager it's a matter of maturity and experience dictating who is an okay age for you to date.
