you know everyone always says "I'm more mature" in some what, whether it be im more mature than my friends or I'm mature for my age to help justify the situation but the simple truth is he is just way older. you're still in a phase for experiencing the fun things in life, he's in a phase where he really has to settle down and stabilize his future. its not a good fit for most aspects in life, if anything, you two will enjoy each other's company a decent while, but it'll all come crumbling down when shit tries to get real serious, most likely.
I don't see a big problem. You're an adult, you know what you're getting into. The age difference doesn't really matter unless the difference in life experience makes the two of you feel incompatible. Otherwise, you're consenting adults, do what you want.
I don't know how to tactfully broach the age subject with him and ask if he's bothered by your age. Just show genuine signs of interest and let him see that you're as much an adult as he is.
i was with a 48 year old when i was 20 and we were together for around 3 years and only broke up because we both had to move. it was obvious we were being judged and people made all sorts of assumptions about it but we were incredibly compatible and although we were in completely different stages in life we still found enjoyment in the same things. age doesn't really matter
My partner and me have the same age difference. We met when I was 19.
Go for it !
Why focus on age difference?
A relationship could very well not work out with a guy your age.
You take the same chance when you date older.
you won't know unless you give it a shot.
Naw I don't think that is to old. Thought if he isn't showing any interest then maybe fine someone else?

If you both like each other I don't see a problem with having that age difference. I don't think any relationship will be completely perfect and I don't think age means that much if you're two adults that are attracted to each other.
You're both of age so I have no feeling about it. Being more "mature" to me doesn't change anything to me. I highly doubt that a 56 year old and a 19 year old are going to have much in way of common and wants, but they may.
I'm 19 and dating a 29 year old haha, it is what you make it..
If you don't mind about the age difference, or even really notice it.. Then that's how hopefully he'll feel too.
Have a chat with him :)
the age difference is 45% of your age. When he was 19 and effing around, you were in elementary school, a child wearing white socks etc, I won't detail further.
What's his problem with girls 27-33 yo?
Depends on the person. I only date guys who are 4 years older then me or 1 year younger then me. Only exception would be for Tom Hiddleton or Leonardo DiCaprio.
Well your age 20 and why would a guy 9 years older than you matter
it's not a huge age gap between you two?
Who cares about age. If you like someone, go for it. That's not even a huge difference in any case, but people too often get in their own way with concerns like this.
I'd say that as long as it's not more than 10 years difference, then it should be somewhat okay. Then again, sooner or later age is going to be a factor growing old.
Once both of you reached the age of consent it doesn't matter, (which is why a 90 year old can legally marry a 18 year old, but a 19 year old can't marry a 17 year old) it doesn't matter.
no, aslong as your ok with the age difference i dont se an issue
its not too old, if you were 18 than it would be (because he might use you because u were naive), but you are mature enough at 20
do not worry , rlly.
It's a little odd for a dude 29 being ok with dating a 20 year old. Yea I see how older guys like younger girls but it tells me something about the guy when he's actually willing to make it official
Its not a huge age gap. If u both want it to work u it will.
9 years isn't exactly the problem but it's the fact that it's 20 vs 29. If it was 23-31 that would be better.
Its absolutely fine if you guys have a good chemistry then age doesn't matter :)
I dont think so i just turned 24 and my dude is 32 its all about the type of communication you guys have
No not necessarily, if he's not interested it's probably for other reasons.
If you both click then sure! It's fine in my opinion
I'm nearly 29 and I wouldn't be seen out with any girl under than 25.
Girls under 25 are stupid.
It's only a big deal really if you make it one.
