points points points!!!!?

10 years is too old. He should be looking for a mature woman looking to sorta settle and have marriage in mind, not when she's not even in college and doesn't know what to do with her life. He's only looking for sex. Don't do it.

Well I think if a person is over 21 the age gap don't matter anymore but for an 18/19 to be dating someone 10 years older than them is a bit extreme. I mean when you're that age u still fresh out of school and think differently to a person that much older than u. While when u're 21 u have experienced alot of things in life already which can prepare u for a relationship like this. Anyway the decision is up to you and if you think you can cope and if it feels alright for you than you should do what's beat for you. But think it through.

I am 25 and my husband is 35. There is 10 years between us. We met when I was 18 and got married when I was 20. The age gap is not important. If you love the person the age should not be that big of an issue it isn't for us. We are still happily married and plan on being for a long time to come.

I am currently seeing a 44 year old man I am 32, for us the age difference is not an issue however there are sometimes when it rears its ugly head such as

You are at a party with younger friends and your partner is the oldest one there

Either partner reminisces about childhood or adolescence and the other one is either too old/young to comment

The age difference is OK if you've got lots of things in common already and the younger of the two has had a few relationships, my best friend met and married her husband at 18 he was 31, she now feels she has missed out on younger men and is having an affair, it doesn't work for everyone

To be honest a 28 year old man is very immature if he's looking to date girls 10 years younger than him. It is a big gap at that age and I really think more successful relationships will be found with people more your own age. I think that 5 years is a good gap, both around the same maturity level then, unless the woman is 5 years older then its way out!

Really it depends on the two people involved. That you had to ask suggests you're not sure yourself; whoever you decided to be with you have to be sure - it's only fair to them and to you.

Look at the answers you have here - it's a pretty good representation of how people react to the age gap thing. While it shouldn't matter, people will have these opinions about you and an older lover - and they will voice them, too. Just be aware that this is one more thing you will both have to deal with if you decide you want to be together.

If it's not so serious and is about the sex, then it really doesn't matter so long as both parties are legally old enough, know what they want and have a good time. If it is serious then prepare yourselves for a backlash of pious self righteous busy-bodies. Those who love you will support you if you're happy and safe.

The gap is not the matter. But she is only 17. There is a 12 years gap between me and my boyfriend. I am 26 and we have been together almost 6 years. No problems with age gap at all. It depends on people. If you love each other, go for it.

im 26 and have always gone out with older guys when i was 18 was dating 42 year old was fantastic he treated me like a person, to be honest think lads of same age are a tad immature even the 26 year olds lol.Age really doesn't matter as long as you're happy with each other and can handle the flack total t w a t s may give you just go for it-yeah sex will come into it of course it will but only when you're ready and take it from me darling older men are definately better in bed.

I'm 19 and for the past 8 and a half months i was dating someone who was 12 years older then me.

We were very happy, healthy and normal as far as we were concerned.

We have had to stop seeing one another for a while as so many people had an issue with us.

We are both broken about the whole thing.

Not all blokes are just after sex, give them some credit.

I love my boyfriend and am missing him so much right now.

lf you two are both happy, then stick two fingers up to the rest of the world and concentrate on being happy.

Age is just a number, do what makes you happy!!!

It's borderline. The older you get, the less important is age gap. You're talking ten years gap here. If he was 48 and you were 38 there would be no issue at all. If he was 25 and you were 15 it would be a big deal. You'll be 18 soon so you can make your own decisions. I would question why doesn't a 28 y.o. try and find someone his own age.

I am 28 and no offence, but an 18 year has not got the life experience to match with a man of that age. I was going out with a man who was 21 yras older than me recently and what life experience Ive had in the past 10 years made me able to relate with him...

Watch that he isn't after you for one thing, because you are going to be a massive ego boost to him.

Play it cool and test the water before rushing in!!!
