I think that as you get older, the difference in age makes less of an impact on the relationship. For example, if you were 16 and going out with someone who is 23, that is much different than if you were 35 and in a relationship with someone who is 42. Now, you may wonder what is the magic number when the age gap is acceptable. I'm sure it's different for many people since everyone has experiences at different times in their lives, matures differently, etc.
*I have no problem with a 7 year gap in either direction. Though this means I could be dating a 12 year old, it wouldn't be a problem, as long as I knew where to draw the line.
I think I would have to fall seriously in love with her to be able to be with someone a lot older than me because I've been down that road before, and I think that when the lust between us wore off, it wasn't pretty! lol
The farther the age gap, the more difficulty the relationship will have in my opinion because two people will be in different stages in their lives. It also makes it harder to relate to a different generation.
General rule is half your age plus 7 is the bottom of your range. The largest gap I know I had was 14 years and that was fun while it lasted. After you get out of college and get a few experience, age is less of an issue. I know that several of my lovers are more than 5 years different in age and it really doesn't come up that much.
its a rather relative theme I guess,i had age gap of 6 years with my gf,she almost respected nothing and acted as if she was my boss,i mostly agreed with things she said just not to break her heart or just to keep the relationship or ship going,but that gave her more ground to get even more perky and cocky,i guess age gap works for short-term relationship but after the novelty of sexuality is gone everyone need some one to understand them,and I guess my 17 year old girlfriend sounded dumb at some points and proved inept in circumstances to to what she is expected therefore we had a lot of fights and she just was so adamantly sure to agree to disagree.
You were older or she was? I'm confused. - 5 months ago
