Is it ok for a 26 yo fella to date a 19 yo girl (36)
the_site_charmer: I just want your views on this 'age gap' thing. Personally I think that a 26 yo dating a 19 yo is ok but what do ye think?
i was 17 my ex was 23 so that would make us 19 & 25 and we were together on and off for 5yrs..
i do think it depends on maturity tho------ This poll is Archived ------
@ modern fairy. Ye I kinda agree on the maturity. Like some 19 yo's might be still in school and to me that's different to dating a 19 yo who has left school. She's in the big bad world in college or workin so she will have to adapt to life in a different way which to me me would make her more mature

well thats more of a social status than maturity.. i was with said person for 2yrs before we broke up.. in those 2yrs i was in school.. college and working.. he on the other hand had already finished college and had good job etc..

I see ur point. In the bigger picture I just think there is so much of an issue made of age gaps

I chose yes in the poll, but feel the person themselves would know the answer to the question.
In saying that I have just been asked out on a date by a 26 year old, I know that would never work out so declined as 14 years is too much of an age gap for me. I think it's a case of 'to each their own' and one should go with their gut instincts, as more times than not it's a true indicator of what's to come. Now I will shut up as I've babbled on enough.

@ cooors your situation is different in the sense that a 26 yo lad would nearly be young enough to be your son lol. like to certain extent age is only a number! I don't see a big deal in a 19yo going out with a 26 yo. I have had a women say to me under no circumstances would she let her 19 yo daughter date a 25 yo lad and I said to her what say would you have In the matter .

You're both adults so of course it's acceptable in society. You have to decide if you can accept it.
A good friend of mine started going out with a 21 year-old woman when he was 32. Her family wasn't too happy about it at first but now they have been married for 5 years and have a lovely baby.
Personally, 5 years either way is enough for me.

the_site_charmer: Laralou just to comment on your last point why have u set it at 5 years either way?
It's not set in stone just a personal benchmark. I don't think I'd be comfortable with a larger age difference. For example it would be hard (for me) to date someone who has only ever known CDs (not LPs or cassettes) or someone who has more in common with my dad.
What can I say? I'm shallow...

I was dating a 20 year old for a few months there about 3 years ago. It didnt bother me what anyone thought as i was doing nothing wrong and it is noones business anyway.

Well fair play to ya!
On the other hand though I can't help thinking that if I had a nineteen year old daughter I wouldn't be too happy if she was going out with a twenty-six year old guy, I think I'd prefer to see her with a guy her own age.

Well her aul fella was a cop
so he probably wasnt too happy.------ This poll is Archived ------
@snowy I think this sums up a lot of my thinking. I think it bothers people in their 40's and 50's moreso then shal we say people in their 20's and early 30's. I'd love to no why would it bother u tho?

I'd say you're right about that. I think the reason it would bother me is that I have a niece who is nineteen and she is just a kid really. I know she's an adult and can do what she wants but I think of her as a kid. Does that make sense? I think it's just an instinctive feeling.

@snowy. Yep it does but it's just as u say an instinctive feeling. At the end of the day she's an adult. I do agree tho that some 19 yo's can still be extremely childish in how they act that's why put in maturity as option

depends on both of them..not just the 19 year old..
snowy i think id rather my daughter with someone 26 who was open minded and encouraged her to be true to herself and not controlling, than a 19 year old gimp who was out to prove something..
when i was 21 i was seeing a guy who was 38..now im seeing someone 5 yrs younger..
age isnt the issue...what u want from life and where u are mentally is definately more important.

It's mathematically and scientifically proven
half your age plus 7
Half your age plus 7 is the mathematical equation to determine the creepiness (youngest) of your dating relationship.

That half your age plus seven rule seems to work pretty well when it comes to older guys and younger girls, bizarre and all as it seems. It just works :)
