I have dated younger men around 3 years younger, no more. It depends on the maturity level. now I am more attracted to older men.

I think that if the character had been honest about her age that it would have brought the interest to a grinding halt. I know that when I have found out that a guy is a certain age that it has given me pause if it's a huge jump. I've dated older guys and been interested in younger guys but as I've gotten older I've moderated to just wanting a small age difference at the end of the day.

When I was young age mattered but as I'm getting older it doesn't, now I think there are more important things than age.

But I'd never date a guy 5 or more years older than me ?

In my eyes once you and the other person are of age then age is just a number. My husband is seven years older than me and it doesn't bug me a bit. I was thirteen and had the biggest crush on him I never acted on it but once I turned eighteen I let him know my feelings and come to find out he felt the same he just didn't want to get in trouble for being with someone underage when he was an adult. Now I'm twenty one and he's twenty eight we have a two year old daughter and we are madly in love.

Age just a number, my husband 5 years older than me. That's not a big deal. Because I prefer someone older than me.

My boyfriend is two and a half years older than me, and we started dating in high school. He was only one grade above me, though, so it didn't really feel like a big deal. I don't think I could date anyone younger than me, though.

But what about older

I think age matter a little big. because if you are 25 and they are 17 that makes a difference. once they are over 18. age is just a number. I am 30 and I typically wont date 19-20 because they are at the party stage and immature for me. so age is a number it the maturity that matters. my husband is 16 years older then me and we get a long. some time he points out that I may not know something cause I wasn't born yet, but we work together fantastically

To some extent, I agree to this that there are other things to consider like shared values than age. But I still doubt if the age range is 20 years or more.

I agree with you. A gap of 20 years is too much.

Age is quite critical in terms of dating but love doesn't know any age. The moment you fall in for someone, that is all. That age difference of three to me is not important but rather the passion they have for each other is the most important. Their love interest would have flourished if only they both truly fall foe each other.

It depends I suppose on things like life experience and mental/emotional maturity to determine if someone is the right age, legal issues aside. I'm not leery of huge age gaps but I do think it takes a tad more awareness to make the relationship work.

I think if Elias knew about her age from the beginning, he would stop seeing her right there and then.
I have to admit, age had always been a factor for me, till I met my husband :lol: of couse,he wasn't underage or anything.

I have the same feeling Dating someone younger than me makes me feel uncomfortable. I don't want to be labeled as cradle snatcher.
