thats perfectly okay. i am 17 soon to be 18 and my boyfriend is 21 soon to be 22. i love him with all my heart. older boys are hotter more experinced and know how to treat a girl. i'm his little princess. but tell your friend to be careful some boys are in it for the booty action. so i wish good luck to your friend.

heck...why not?  you do not have a commitment to Mr. 3-year, so why not take a chance with Mr. New-guy?  you might find him to be even better then Mr. 3-year!  start out dating casually, and if things are going well, stick with it.  you will be glad that you went for it instead of waiting around for Mr. 3-year.

that question is up to you and your girlfriend. if you care and love each other then it should. age ain't nothing but a number. I have been dating my boyfriend for 3 1/2 years, he's 25 and i'm 19.

Any age is okay to have a boyfriend it just all depends how serious you get with them. Leave the serious things til you are older. Remember your whole life lays before you and you do not want to waste it too soon.

It's a matter of personal choice - love has no boundaries... my dad is married to someone 16 years younger than him... his wife likes older men, and he likes younger women.. also, when you are in high school, you may think that it's wrong to date someone who's 3 years older, but then as you get into college you may start thinking it's ok to date someone who's 5-10 years older.. It all comes down to personal preference. So long as it's not like you're under 18 years old or dating someone in your own family! That's considered unethical in many societies.\n\nMore answers to your question in the link below.

I think the maturity level of the two persons involved makes a difference, I mean if you are both willing to accept each other for who you are and for how well you get along, similar interests, good communication, respect, and love. If things are good between the two of you, age should not make a difference. My boyfriend is 22 years younger than I am, we have been together for over two years and things are great! I know what you are talking about though. Finding the right person to share your life with is difficult enough. Age should not be an issue. Let him know this, and let him know how you feel about him, that's about all you can do, the rest is up to him.

Age should not make a difference. I should know, I am dating a younger man. So as long as the age is legal I see no harm in it. But, honestly, what do you think you have in common with a 20 y/o?

Why sure, go for it. My boyfriend that I have been with for Almost four years now, and our relationship is still going strong, Im like 21 and he's 23. Some people say girls mature faster than men, which I think is so true. But I really don't think age matters unless there like a minor or something, but hell yeah go for it.

Most of the time, yes. \n\nMost of the time, the older of the pair will be anchor in the relationship, being wiser and all. 17 years a good gap for a girl in her 30s and over (i.e. the man's the one 17 years older)\n\nIf ayoung person's in a relationship with another young one, say they're both under 25; usually it takes a lot more than love to keep the two together. Young love are more fragile.

I personally think it depends on how old the child is.  I did live with my boyfriend when my child was 2-3.  We eventually broke up and no harm was done b/c they didn't remember the situation much.  I am now dating someone new 8 years later.  We are even talking of marriage but I refuse to live with him until we are married.  If something does happen and we break up it will definitely send the wrong message to my child.

Why would you care what other people think?as long as you are both of legal age it's not a big deal or anything.I am 10 years older than my man.does that matter? NO

It depends in part on how old you are...if one or both of you are, say, under fifteen or so, that's a big difference in terms of maturity, etc.  \n\nWith that said, I'm a bit older than my bf (two years in school grades, one year and a couple months in age) and although I got a bit of teasing about "robbing the cradle" at first (and I'm willing to bet he got jokes about dating an "older woman") we've been together for quite a while now, with no age-related problems :)  So no, there's nothing wrong with that.  Good luck!

love... im fourteen and my boyfriend is 17. we've been dating for almost four months now and never once has he asked me to or pressured me to have sex with him. actually i was the one who brought it up but he said he wanted to wait. i said that's fine with me. we love each other so much and i know he's the one for me and he feels the same way about me. i would do anything for him. there's nothing wrong with a 17 year old boy and a 14 year old girl together. the age difference isn't that much and it is said that women mature faster than men. i love having a mature boyfriend. unlike the other boys my age. mabey he feels like the other girls are way too mature for him and he wants to actually go out and have fun instead of always being bitched at lol. too much drama with 17 year old girls

No, you should be with someone closer to your age.  I know the difference in years doesn't sound like that many but at this age when you are growing and changing so fast, it really is.

Its not at all about the age. Its all about compatiability. You guys should be on the same wavelength and you should have trust. being able to communicate properly is also one of the major criteria.\nAge difference does not matter.

The older the man is the better for you because women tend to look older than men especially after giving birth. So dont worry about that guy being 3 years older, in fact up to 10 years older, it still ok but not more than that. Meanwhile, let him make the first move, inviting you out for a first date. Then you see how things will work out. You both have yet to know about each other better than to just plunge deeply into a relationship. You should try and know about his past. He may have certain weaknessess you may not know off. So just go slow and takes things slowly. If hes willed to be with you, he will be, otherwise you just like chasing in the wind. May God Bless you with the will to decide wisely to pursue the relationship with him.
