You are absolutely right that you don't chose who you fall in love with.
It just happens.
Why can't you be with someone you fall in love with who loves you too?
People are people despite your age, unless of course your underage.
And lots of women like older men.
It's only odd because when someone is as old as their partners Dad they sometimes get looked at in that way.
My boyfriend is 2 years older than me, I don't see a difference though.

rlimbaugheib The rule is: The guy can be up to three years older and the girl can be up to one year older. I disagree. I was dating 18-year-olds when I was 14, and I've dated guys 3 years younger than myself. It depends on compatibility and maturity, not age.

Well, you sound like a 19 year old, so why not?
I think the thing is, the age difference is like a ratio. Take a four year difference. If a 13 year old was going out with a 17 year old, it would seem really weird. Because even though you're still maturing at age 17, you know a lot more about the world and life than a 13 year old does, so it seems like an odd match. However, when an 18 year old dates a 22 year old, it's still a big difference but it doesn't seem like as much. Why? Well, the ratio gets smaller. 18/22 is a smaller number than 4/8, despite the fact that the difference between the two numbers is the same. That's why it's so shocking to hear about a 13 year old dating a 17 year old, but not as much for 18 and 22.
There's also the simple fact that as you grow older, you mature at a slower rate. You learn less and less as you grow older and eventually, the difference in maturity between a 30 year old and a 40 year old doesn't seem as large as a 20 year old and a 30 year old.

Jones.soda.queen This makes me feel better about my brother and his wife.
She's 47 and he's 23.
I suppose to you i'm being immature when I say this, but why would you marry someone you know you can't spend the rest of your life with?
Do you ever wonder if your significant other might have an affair?
She still has alot of her life left infront of her.
Do you think someday she might regret getting married to someone much older than her own age?
Just a question I agree with her. Your significant other will face alot more temptations to have an affair most likely because they have so much more life in them. You don't want to break her heart by being too old so you die when shes still so young do you???

My friend is 8 years younger than his wife, and there is NO problem, whatsoever.
It's not so much the age that matters, it's the maturity. it's a well know fact that girls mature way faster than guys, so it's logical that a the guy in the relationship is older than the girl--the difference in age depends on how fast he matured, compared to how fast she did.
But then what happens when you get an immature girl and a mature guy together? Then the guy is probably younger than the girl.
I do find it odd for a 57 year old to date a 19 year old, because you're old enough to be her dad--or, in some cases, even her grandfather. But, nonetheless, I agree that whatever floats your boat works--it's none of my buisness.

I'm sorry, but I'm one of those people who say "ew." It might be really sweet in your case, but I'm just at the age where that kind of age difference really DOES make a difference. I mean, it would be completely different if she were older. It wouldn't be so... weird then. I mean, for me, I would think of how old I were when this person was brn and be totally turned off to begin with.
I guess if you both are fine with it, it's okay. I know a 40-year old who got permission from parents to marry their 16 year old because they weer in love. If you are really in love, age won't matter.
However, you are ALWAYS going to get people who will say that's gross. If it bothers you THAT MUCH, you shouldn't be together anyway. But if you're really THAT MUCH in love, forget what people think.
P.S. Sorry if my logic is a little foggy today--I'm kinda tired.

Dude must be a ***** or something, because that is incredible wrong and potentially illegal.

rlimbaugheib The rule is: The guy can be up to three years older and the girl can be up to one year older. who made up that rule? confused i think a major age difference is not right if one of them is inexperienced and immature and taken advantage of. But if this doesn't occur why not? whee
