Baby, what's your age?

[Pm7lucas]

I think if Elias would have known Malika's age from the start, he would have run in the opposite direction. When he did find out, he was floored and left almost immediately. It made me feel good that even though he paid for her time, he didn't take advantage of her.

I don't think I would want to have a relationship with someone that far from my own age. Fifteen years is considered a generation. But that's just me.

To me age is really much an issue especially in youthful years. In most cases, people's understanding of issues, their educational level, their experiences in life, etc. are affected by their age. At age 28, I developed a liking for an 18 year old. Although we could talk at ease about ordinary daily issues, it was difficult for us to connect at a more sophisticated level. We couldn't discuss important TV programs or news on the radio. It was very frustrating. But for a 58 year old male and a 39 year old female, a relationship should be possible.

I guess age doesn't really matter anymore. I have a friend who is now 27 years old, and she's a girl, and her boyfriend is just 23 y/o. It wasn't too much of an age gap but, dang, we all know that boys mature a bit too late than girls. Think about all the patience she needs in their relationship.

Age, looks, and interests are negotiables in a relationship. If you look on it too much then it might spoil the big thing. There are things that are more important than the negotiables in a relationship.

Age is a factor, 2 to 3

[magicquill]

It's quite difficult to deal with age gaps. Personally I think it's too much. But it still depends on how you can cope up with your relationship with someone else. Since love plays a very important part of our lives. We can't just judge someone by their appearance or age. What's important is respect and acceptance in the situation.

Age should be a factor but not a hindrance in a dating.
Where age falls at the extremes, then it should be a factor to consider before dating.
The person should not be too young below the legal age because this can be considered as child abuse and they should not extremely old because this will cause some psychological discomfort . I cant figure out dating a 70 plus years old granny! This would really affect me psychologically.

For females, I have no problem with them dating older men but with men it has to be considered.
When I get to the age of 90 years ,I shall be more comfortable dating a 20years old lady than dating my age-mate at the time.

My wife is ten years my junior and the only time we notice is is when I refer to the past events during which she was too young to properly remember them.
The best example's of this is when I watched i) Armstrong landing on the moon
ii) England winning the World Cup
I also have a much better appreciation of music having been in my teens during the brilliant seventies.

I think that age gaps never work just for the fact that people at different ages are at different stages in life. Even if they do happen to be at the same point (eg. he's 31 and she's 19, both working at Target), chances are the younger one will move on and do something different and mature and all that, whereas the older one is less likely to.

I've never really seriously dated outside of my age group (a couple very casually, though).

[EmSwan]

I think it all depends more on the percentage age difference? so if you're only 13, it'd be odd to date a 16 year old, but if you were 30, it'd be fine to date a 33 year old

[Jaudian Rholee jee]

Age? that doesn't matter at all, especially now a days, but it should consider the exact age of a young person, but when you said 13 yrs old below, wow that's to young. I should say just go to school and learn more, before you are going to the outside world..

[Ann Njoki gichuhi]

I have always tried at all cost to avoid any guy who is younger than me, it may seem okey as the relationship is starting but later there crops problems when you interests start to differ

Hooking up with someone younger than you seems better at the beginning but it becomes problematic later when your interests begin to differ

[Mpimba]

Age doesn't matter in relationship.
If their true love even elder can marry a teen.

No time for asking about age.
Love is blind

No time for asking about age.
Love is like blindness
Since love plays a very important part of our lives. We can't just judge someone by their appearance or age.

[Manang Muyang]

In some very poor countries, children as young as 8 (boys and girls alike) are pimped by their own parents. This is so sad but true. As Malika had been on the job for almost two years, she could already have imbibed the sophistication of experience, thus appearing older than her 13 years.

[kislany]

Love is blind, but when it comes to underage kids, I usually draw the line. There are somethings that simply shouldn't be done.

[raikyuu]

I would never date someone who is significantly younger than me. Three years is my limit. If they are more than three years younger than me then it won't work.

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

I dated someone 3 years younger than me and it was a really great relationship while it lasted. She was really mature for her age so it did not feel like there was an age gap.

I said earlier that I don't see my self dating anyone 3 years older or younger than me but I have had tons of crushes on people way older than me. I've never acted on most of my crushes especially those directed toward women older than me.

I guess this shows that age doesn't necessarily correlate with maturity. I liked that it was a great relationship for you.
