No this isn't a big difference I'am 17 now and my b/f is 21 now, it really isn't that big deal , it's not all about age, if u guys love eachother u shouldn't care about ur ages just follow ur heart.

I know from experience! 21 with 49! You may be happy now and enjoying each other but let's say you get serious or move in together. The movies, music, friends, conversation, style, and attitude will change eventually. An 18 year old has so much more to learn and experience and can do so with an older person, but believe me they will eventually get someone a little younger, closer to there own style or cheat on you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I dont see anything wrong with dating a younger man, as long as there are limits to the age difference(not 18 or younger)  \n\nIf his maturity level is good with you, he treats you good, makes you laugh, has a  job, and is an all and all decent guy I dont see anything wrong with it.    \n\nPLEASE BE AWARE THAT ALOT OF THE ONLINE DATERS DO LIE.  SO PLEASE BE VERY VERY CAREFUL OUT THERE IN CYBERSPACE!!!!!

as long as you're both at the age of consent or older... you're cool... 27 is more than an appropriate age

There is NO WAY ON EARTH that a 14 year old should be going out with an 18 year old.  It is not "against the law" to date, but anything sexual with him is a crime (for him, not for you).

if the student is underaged, then no. but if they're both adults & have an attraction or feelings for each other, then why not?

IT IS ABSOLUTELY NOT WRONG!!! 1 year is NOTHING. It is much more about how you 2 connect with eachother than how close you are in years.  I once had a thing with a guy 2.5 yrs younger than me, and we are still great friends, cuz he was an absolutely AMAZING person, and was super cute, and quite frankly was more mature than most guys my age. Guys the same age as me were always pressuring me to do things I didn't want to, but since I was older than him, this boy was SO respectful of me and my decisions and feelings. And what a sweetheart... as you can see, I could talk for hours.  Obviously dating a guy like 5 years younger than you is kinda weird, but just a few years is NO reason to hide feelings for a guy. If he treats you well, who cares how old he is? And if you're worried about being made fun of, then DON'T! YOU like him, and it's YOUR business. End of story. Best of luck with him! <3

Why 16 or seventeen? I think it's silly. You should start dating when you feel like you're ready for a serious relationship. It's not age dependent, but it's rather your what and how you feel about initiating such a relationship. Remember, it's not a game, not an experiment. It's not fair to experiment with people's feelings, but if you feel like you're ready for a relationship, go ahead. I'm 22, but I still don't feel mature and brave enough to initiate a romantic relationship. (plus I don't have the confidence to do that, but that's another story)

I was only 12 yrs old when i started secretly dating a 19 yr old guy.... it was fun because it was forbidden and nobody knows until my Dad caught me. I was grounded to have dates intil I was 18... My point is, there is nothing wrong in dating someone older than 18 while you are an underage. As long as its a harmless date. Harmless in the sense that both of you are just enjoying each others company (no sex involved). Its only a DATE...not marriage.

I am 25 and my fiancée is 21, personally I think that anyone who says they wouldn't go out with anyone younger than them is being a little narrow minded, surely the person matters more than how old they are?  \n\nAs for dating (if I was single) as long as I connected with that person and found them attractive (and as long as it was legal!) I wouldn't have an age limit at all!

Age is really only a Number.  There's no magic number for anything.  It's not like as soon as someong turns 17 magicly r rated movies won't affect them the same, or as soon as someone tuns 21 they are responsible enough to consume alchahol.  You should be old enough to understand, and beable to accept the consequences good or bad of what happens becouse of it.   Some people are like this very young.  Other people should never really date.

i think 10 years younger is ok and no one 10 years older would be sufficient don't you? Why are you worried about it anyway? Date who ever as long as it don't consist of going thru the high schools with the trunk of your car filled with a Playstation and candy and sodas to lure your dates.

age is nothing but a number, only way its not ok is if it really bothers one of you two, no one else matters, i'm a 26yr old guy dating a 36 yr old woman and there is nothting wrong with it, nor is it wrong to be 26 dating a 19 year old
