age difference - whats your limit?

No definite age limits. Some people are more mature than others and you can't go by their age. But it really depends on alot of things - if you are 20 and you are thinking about dating a 50 year old, then probably not a good idea. But if you are 30 thinking about dating a 45 year old, not so bad. Or a 20 year old thinking about dating a 15 year old - bad idea! But a 30 year old thinking about dating a 25 year old - okay. See, a five year difference is a big deal the younger you are! You are right about that.

I have always dated older guys than me. The oldest I have dated was 25 and that was when I was 17 turning 18 two years ago. And we still keep in contact and hang out. I have never dated a guy that was 19 or 20 it was always a couple or few years older. But I like it that way...If the guy is old enough to be your dad and your still a teenager I don't think you should go for it. Age can make a difference sometimes because he might want to go to the bar and chill and you can't get in. This has happened to me before. Don't get hurt though. I know my friend would say comments like yeah he just wants *** or something. Granted yeah there are dudes like that but some of them do actually care

You are probably thinking of older men and younger women ... but I have a very LARGE group of friends, all married for 'the longest haul' and EVERY WOMAN is at least 7 years older (up to 15 years older) than her husband ... we are all extremely happy, and are together 'forever and beyond.' I would never date an older man (I have, it was no fun at all) but then I don't have to, because I have my wonderful husband, who is 7 years younger than I am. We are one of those 'forever and beyond' couples, too. Yes, age does make a difference. Women stay 'young' longer than men in both looks and attitude. When I was being taken to the hospital by the Medic One (fire department) they thought my husband was at least 7 years OLDER than me ... I still have brown hair with just a few 'white highlights' while my husband is bald with a gray fringe and a pure white beard. We both had a good laugh over that! I'm 57, he's 50 and exactly 11 days under 7 years younger than I am!

I am 19 and I would go about 6 years older than me and about 2 years younger and yes when I am older that range will probably change to something like 8 either way.

I think age matters when you are just a kid [[aka: under 18]], but the older you get, the less it matters.

I am 20, and I only date guys between 5-10 years older than me. I won't date guys close to my age... they're too immature for me. I have graduated college and have a career and my own life... only guys in their mid-late 20's can keep up with me, really. Plus, the older ones are better in bed too ;). My boyfriend is 25. The oldest guy I have dated was 29.

personally I like to date people near my own age, some kind of complex i suppose. But i have seen healthy relationships develop between people more than ten years apart (granted all involved were over 20.) I also think it has a lot to do with where you are at in life, and not your age. I'm sure there are plenty of 30 year olds that still act like 20 so they could prolly get along well with people that age!

im 23 and i would date up to the age of 29 or 30 and i would date someone 21 or 22 but no younger than that....but if i would just so happen to fall for someone out of that range then i would be with them anyway.

Personally, I only go 5 years up. I don't date younger than me due to maturity levels in males still being an issue (I'm 20).

I'm sure once you get to a certain age and stick within a certain age limit, maturity isn't so much of an issue.

Lol I like the Pamela one.

I used to say 5 years (older guy, never younger), but i'm dating a guy with 10 years between us (i'm 21).

I think the unofficial rule is, too young to be your legal child.

i'm 17, at this point i'd probably date people within a year on the younger side and a couple on the older side, but as you get older age difference becomes less significant.
