I want to know what people thing about when it comes to the age difference in some couples. I am 18 and have always been interested in people well over my age. It's just something I have always been drawn to. Is this wrong or no?

Hiya. wave Nah, I don't think its wrong. Has more to do with maturity and where the two of you are in your lives then anything else. Whatever works for you is where you want to be!

If your emotional and mental age are close,then the chronological really doesn't matter.

Who care what others think? You and your partner are the ONLY ones that have to be comfortable; everything else will work itself out. My niece just turned 22; she's getting married to a guy that's 33. They're really good for each other so who's to judge??

I have always dated and been with ladies younger than me so i beleive the age thing isnt so important. As long as both involved are of legal age and there is an attraction.

bottom line is... what you are comfortable with and not what people think...

I think it can depend on what the age difference is, i married someone 15 yrs older than me we had 2 children and were married 16 yrs, problems started when i still wanted to go out and do things and he just wanted to stay home, that then moved onto jealousy on his part thinking i was looking for a younger man. I think if it's long term it needs alot of thought into the future

Bingo! That WILL HAPPEN. You can bet your life on it.
You may not think so right now but once the older of the two starts to slow down, the younger one begins to think "What did I do?"

I'm sorry, I'm not trying to rain on your parade but I've been there and it is very hurtful to both involved and the pain never goes away.

My relationship ended almost 14 years ago after 10 years together and it still hurts my heart a little to this day, and it probably always will.

Then again, things could work out great for you and if you do decide to do it, I wish you all the love and happiness in the world!

Please think rationally about it first though.

Good luck!

In a way ages doesn't matter to me: I had relations with younger and with older women!

But because of my experience: I never start anything with a woman below 27!

Reason:

1. They don't know what they want. They change their "mind" like tampons!
2. Only after certain (bad) experience thay're able to value a "good" guy!
3. You don't have to tell a mature woman what makes a man happy!

I totally agree, have also been down that path

The girl I married was just 25, we had 7 wonderful years, no regrets there but then maturity set in and she needed to follow a different path.

I now have the most wonderful 3 year old daughter in the world, I would not swap her for anything but, as a 53 year old the responsibility weighs heavy at times, and now I need to make changes to my life that having such a young child is causing major complications.

Its not just the younger of the couple that needs to look at the whole picture.
