What is acceptable to YOU on age difference for dating?

Age doesn't really matter. I've dated guys 10 years older then me that acted younger then me. If there is an attraction it really doesn't matter.

Age is just a number. I've met many people who were very mature and were only 16-18, and I've also met people who were very childish who were in their late 20s & 30s. I wouldn't go as far to break any laws, but then my personal preference leans towards guys who look/sound like 'men' rather than 'boys.

I picked b I don't want anyone particularly 6 years older than me but I would go fr someone if they were but not over 6 years I don't want someone too much older than me.

I'm 19 and I picked b, but that doesn't mean I'd date someone who's 14 (5 year difference). I'd go for someone 5 years (max. ) older than me (24) :

Well I'm 22, so I don't want to go too much younger. But I would definitely go for someone older than me.

This is difficult to answer because age differences become less and less important the older both parties get. For example, my mom is 50 and my dad is 62. They were a perfectly acceptable couple when they married, however, when my dad was 18, my mom was 6. If an 18 year old and a 6 year old tried to go out, heads would roll!

One rule I heard that works most of the time is the "half + 7 rule." Basically, for a general area of what is acceptable, you take your age, divide it by 2, then add 7. This means than an 18 year old could comfortably date a 16 year old, a 30 year old could date a 22 year old, or a 50 year old could date a 32 year old. It gets a little more fuzzy the higher you get up, but it seems to work in most cases.

My age difference is four years MAX, and I'm VERY strict on the lower limit
I would date girls 19-23

It would be weird dating a high-school girl

I think age is just a number. I mean, if you're attracted to or care for someone, a number assigned to you by society shouldn't matter.

Funny to see how quite a few comments on the site revolves around "Age is just a numba" but when asked, close proximity seems more comfortable. I guess it is too early to tell whether this pattern will hold statistically significant, but if it was an older crowd, I wouldn't be surprised to see more votes in favor of a wider age gap if one at all. Great question by the way!

Standard internet creepyness rule:

Your age divided by 2, plus 7. So I'm 38/2 = 19 + 7 = minimum age I should be dating is 26. Of course by that same logic I'm ok up to age 60 so maybe I should re-think that. :^
