Age Difference in Relationships

I like older men. The gap isn't a huge deal because I have a hard time guessing people's age by appearance anyway. My older sister who is 22 has a boyfriend that is 29. Honestly, I think they are perfect for each other.
 
Some of my friends are half my age, but they're all adults. As for dating, I would prefer to be with someone older or close to my age.A bit younger would be ok.
 
I'm willing to date someone who is at most 10 years older than me. I'm 20 right now, so if he/she is 30, I wouldn't mind. I'd never date someone younger than me by a year though. Same idea with friendships.
 
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.

But that guy sounds awesome!!! lol ;p

When I was 18-19(before I met my hubby) I wanted a guy older than me. Like, much older. I had it in my head that I needed a MAN, who knew how to build things and fix anything and had um...experience...so I did that and quickly realized that guys in their 30's and 40's are totally babies wanting you to tell them they have still "got it". (They totally didn't, btw)

So then I decided to look for people my age or a little older, like 5 years maybe. That's when I eventually met my husband, who is exactly one year and a day older than me. So yeah, his birthday is the day before mine, and the year before mine. I just think that's the coolest xD

I will be friends with someone at any age though. I'm 25 now and I have a friend here that is in her 60's. She's absolutely crazy and more perverted than I am; it's so great! We actually go to college together lol ;p
 
yeah tbh **** current bf im with u
If I find one I will connect you with his friends.

In all seriousness, a guy must be older than me. That and weigh more than me. Those are my requirements.

I'd totally be willing to date someone that's a couple years younger or a couple years older than me, but at my age I'd be hesitant to go out with anyone who's more than like two or three years older than me. I don't really have a preference either way, though. I've noticed that I kind of tend to gravitate more towards girls who seem a bit more mature than me, whether they're older than me or not, but as long as they're pretty close to my age it doesn't matter much to me.

As far as platonic relationships go, I'd be willing to be friends with people at any age.

I wouldn't date anyone younger than me because then we couldn't go to bars and stuff. But I'd date someone older than me maybe like up to 5 years older

My current bf is only 2 months older than me but that's kinda nice cause we are having similar life experiences at the same time.
 
As long as you're at least 18, I don't think it should matter, really. If you love someone, and that person loves you, nothing should get in the way of that. There should be no moral in existence that tells you not to go for somebody you love just because they're older than you. Age is a mere number to me. That being said, I will admit I prefer older guys. Much older, if you will. I'm still underage, however, so I can't really do anything about that, can I?
 
i always date older guys 3-7 years older than me. i feel it easier dating older guys because there more laid back and are in the been there done that stage. the oldest i dated was 23 and i was 16 but i havent had a bf since about 2010. i cant date younger guys idk why but i cant handle be the older one in the relationship
 
I personally prefer someone that were around the same age as me, but for anyone else, if they truly feel that it is true love, I don't care the age. For friends, again, I don't really care. But what do I know, I'm just a kid. :p

Do I look like an amateur? I go after really manly guys that look like they maybe killed a man. Hopefully. I have issues.

Romantically all my partners have been about 2-3 years younger than me. I would say my preference would be anywhere between 20 and 30 though. I would push a little either way for somebody I really liked, though I wouldn't actively seek it.

With friends it doesn't really matter at all, though my friend group fall mostly between 20-30. My two best friends are 1 and 2 years younger than me.



To be honest, with both friends and partners I never really think about their ages until the subject is brought up. The rest of the time, in my mind, I think of them being the same age as me.

I prefer older people (don't really care how old), but if I met someone who was coo but younger than me,mi wouldn't write them off and I'd still hang with them. Age is something that really never bothered me.
 
Oh, geez. I was gonna post a thread like this...

I'm 17 and a 22 year old friend is coming onto me...
