Age Difference in Relationships

But that guy sounds awesome!!! lol ;p

That guy is known as a madao, he was abandoned by his wife and kids and now stalks a white haired bum, a pair of glasses wearing a human, and a 10 year old girl with superhuman strength. XD
 
i used to not care about the age of my bf very much, but ideally prefered them to be the same age. now i prefer to have an older boyfirend. me and my current bf are 6 years apart and its perfect.

I used to want friends who were the same age as me but now i dont care at all. ill be friends with older and younger
 
for relationships, i dont have an interest in dating anymore but if i was..i guess no more than two years older or younger, i dont want to be around someone more mature than me who sees me as a kid yet i dont want to look down on someone either

as for friendships, i honestly dont care. as long as we got the same humor and everything, all is good. heck, ive had friends who are like 25+ and under twelve y/o
 
As of right now I'd prefer my partner to be older than me by a couple months up to 2 years, maybe 3.

For friendships I don't think age really matters to me. I'll be friends with anyone as long as I like them but the oldest friends I have are in their early 20's so I haven't had much experience with older people.
 
I dated someone 2 and a half years older than me for 2 years and it wasn't that bad. Then I dated someone 2 years younger than me for a year and a half and they were way less mature than I was. Not cool. Now I'm dating someone less than a year younger than me and it's pretty good.

I'd prefer to date someone who's at least somewhat older because the younger I go, the less mature people I find. I don't like dating immature people.

As for friends, I don't care about age. As long as you can be friendly and respectful, I'll be your friend :)
 
Hey all. Please make sure to stick to the topic at hand and PM any personal questions that go outside the thread topic, and also use the like button rather than posting a one or two word response stating that you agree with someone.

Thanks!
 
I have a 2-3 year age mark to go higher or lower. I don't mind dating someone a little older than me, but tbh it doesn't make you look cool to date someone older than you. I had a friend (in middle school mind you) who was 14 date a 19 year old, and she thought she was so cool... It just makes you look weird, especially at an age older, to date someone that young. Or maybe I just like to crush young love...

I kind of like guys that are younger than me, as long as they are mature but still likes to have fun. I don't want to look basic with some older guy whose taller than me, older than me, and dose everything for me. I want to lead.
 
i have a good friend who is 12 years older than I am. as for romantic, I usually like it if she is older. But I'll still date younger.

For me personally, romantic would have to be eithin a couple of uears of my age. Friendship on the other hand, I more or less couldn't care less about their age so long as they're a decent person.
 
I personally do not like big age differences. Especially with teenagers. If you're into a 16 yr old girl while you're like 25, you're a creep and need to stay away.

I had some friends when they were 13 date 17 year olds who were on the verge of turning 18... I found it very odd to be honest. It's not illegal by the law, but I found it morally wrong. It's just very creepy anyway.

Once you're like 21 i could care less. I'm a bit hesitant even when someones 18 and dating like a 30 year old. I remember seeing this BDSM blog with a 60 yr old guy and his 18 yr old gf who was still in school... I mean yeah it was legal, but you can't deny that's weird as ****.

As for me, I prefer being friends with people older than me. I'm 14, but most of my friends are in their early 20s. Romantically though, I would not date someone more than two years older than me. I prefer them to be in my age range. I prefer if they were older than me as well, but I'm not that picky.
 
Age difference doesn't really matter, though being 17, I tend to go more for an age difference of 2 years, whether the other person is younger than me or older than me by that age gap. Mostly because if they're younger than like 15, most of them are quite immature and we just won't be able to get along. If they're way older, they'd have their fair share of problems I'd have trouble helping them out with, which would be a shame, really, because it'd just make me feel bad that I can't do my part of the tango in the relationship.

SO basically, yeah.
 
I range from 2 years younger than me, only because I'm really against dating minors, and I'd probably be okay if they were like 4 years older than me.
 
Hm... I would probably draw the line at above a year older than me.

For platonic relationships, I'd befriend anyone so long as they aren't a middle aged man wearing shades who lives in the streets in a box claiming to be the God of cardboard and cardboard accessories.


I made this for you. I hope you like it:

In all seriousness though I'll only date a girl who is 2 years older than me at the most or 2 years younger than me at the most. Meaning no one under 16 and no one over 20. :)

As for friendships, it doesn't matter what age so long as they're nice, friendly, and we share interests (VIDEO GAMES). Heck, I've had a friend who was 26 before.

To be honest, age doesn't really matter to me.

I'm happy to be friends with anyone up to 10 years older than me and about 3 years younger (about).

But with relationships, a maximum of 5 years difference, and I prefer for my boyfriend to be older than me.
 
I definitely prefer older guys, I would go anywhere up to 7 years. I would only date some older than that on rare circumstances. As for guys younger, generally a year or maybe 2. Oldest I've dated so far was someone 5 years older than me... or was it 6.
My current bf is just a little under a year older than me.

As for friends, they can be any age. I tend to get along with people older than me though.

oh dude. dating a 15 year old seems like a nightmare
 
I'd date anyone from age 16 to 25 :)
I'm 17 (almost 18) and someone a older than myself would not be a problem.

I agree. My sister is 15 and even being friends with one of her friends would be horrible ^^'

Trust me, it was. My ex was 15 and she was only in to satisfy her sexual needs.

Then again she was pretty mature for her age so I'd say she was better off than most 15 year old females I've met.

It depends on what age I am (prefer the other person to be older no matter what)
like im 16, and i wouldnt go for someone older than 18.
but if i happened to be 20, i wouldnt care if the person was 24/25 or w/e

as for platonic i dont care as long as they arent older than 21
and if they are in their 20s i prefer if theyre female because uh yeah ive met some creepy boys
