Yes, the age gap is too big. Your a child or little sister compared to him. Have way more life experience than you, and it can leave you at a disadvantage. NO. I would not date somebody much older than me. Compatibility for any relationship is not about hobbies and finding things in common. It's about what is the intent for a relationship and is it because you two as adults really do have compatibility, or is it because you and or he wants to because of selfish reasons. 9/10x, he just wants a younger woman to screw because he doesn't want that with women his own age. I had plenty trying to get after me and I knew what their intentions were. Plenty would if sex is offered. Trust me on that. You decide what you want to do. In my opinion way too young. And you would thrive better with somebody at least between your age and 25. Nothing higher than that. Befriend the person for a year or more, and get to know their history, etc more. Do not rush into anything. And if you have to ask if this or that is a problem, it probably more and likely is. For me, no way in hell. I am and wasn't stupid when I was your age. But again, your now 21. Not 18. So it's on you. Just know that if you're looking for a serious relationship that can lead to marriage it may not last past 3 years the least, perhaps 5 the most depending. Let everybody screen this guy.
I dated someone that was 35 when I was 19. Best sex I’ve ever had, and he was one of the nicest people. He also taught me a lot of things. I don’t necessarily think it would be the greatest thing to be with someone 15 years older long term, but love is love. You can’t help who you truly love
When I read 15 years I said no way. Then the dude only 36. Today's 36 he most likely still living in his mothers basement so It will be like dating a child anyway.
I dated a "girl" 11 years difference 10 years ago. And it was too far apart for compatibility to find us. I said girl because she was all into her selfies and pop music and was too excitable over childish crap. By this time I was working on my second mortgage and starting a couple business' . The only thing she had accomplished at that time was a GED. So yeah THAT DIDN'T WORK. Besides the bitch stabbed me 3 months after she broke up with me while I was in bed with another woman. So maturity dealing with consequences of her actions didn't find her yet.
u I have dated a girl 15 years younger and I have dated a lady 23 years older than me. The problems you encounter are 1) some people will reject you because they think that much of an age gap is improper, and 2) you may find that you do not have enough in common with your partner. At his age, if he is going to have children, he may want to start now while you want to wait several years. He may be ready for the house and the dog while you want a minimalist, carefree life.

I wouldn't date in that big an age gap. I want someone who is where I am in life. My husbands dad is 20 years older than his mom. His dad has a couple years left before he passes then his mom will be a widow at 60. I just couldn't imagine going through that honestly.
I've dated younger and older. For me it's not an issue. We already don't live long enough as it is, I don't worry over other people's perceptions or how things may or may not work. Find someone you have feelings for, have great chemistry with and don't hold back. You can't predict the future or plan your whole life ahead of time. Worst case it doesn't work out.
Sex, money, maturity, dreams ofof being spooled. That's why it's date someone 15 years older.
The rule is half their age plus 7.. which is 25 as the youngest they should be dating
It's a general rule.
If you two really love each other, then you can make it work.
If you both have other interest... you're adults... just make sure if you have kids, you do stats best for them.
Personally I wouldn't date anyone with a age gap more than 4 years. But it's completely a personal thing and it varries from person to person. Some people would and some wouldn't.
no it's not too big. as long as you ate both consenting adults, no gap is too big. it's just a matter of oersonal prefference.
You’re both adults, so as long as you get along and connect, and he feels the same way about you then why not? Love doesn’t have an age 😊
From my experience, men don’t really even mature until that age... So if you’re looking for commitment, I think 36 is a good age. I’d say give him a shot if you’re looking for a relationship.
I am dating someone older, but 15 is too much.
It might work now, but thing down there might have an expire date, keep that in mind.
I'd date someone who's 15 years younger, once im old enough for that to not be weird XD ideally 10 would be my max but if I'm getting older then I'd consider 15
I have been both older and younger. My last girlfriend was 19 years younger. All I can tell you is if age is on your mind now, it will be on your mind later. Probably is not for you. Otherwise this wouldn’t even be an issue to begin with.
No. Big age gaps gross me out even as an adult. I'd never date anyone over 5 or 6 years older than me
Sure I will date a girl who is a lot younger than me. The man should be well established in life and understand she is younger than him. At that age they will know how to trust and love each other
The heart wants what it wants. You can’t really pick who you fall in love with.
As a 27 year old guy who wants children, 15 years older is probably my limit
I dated someone 15 years older, was a great experience.
Yes. I've mostly dated older guys
My ex boyfriend was 35 when we met and I was 23.
53 yr old? If i were single, maybe casual date. Not sure about relationship
Because I'm over 21, no, I would not
Since that would make her a minor still to me
I'm 31
The lowest I'll date, is 21
Perfectly okay. If you are not a slave of stereotypes.
I would definitely date someone 15 years younger.
