    Age is just a number, it's the people's state of mind that matters. My husband and I are thirteen years apart in age but there were never two people more meant for each other! We can finish each other's sentences. :)

    it depends on your age. imagine a 12 year old and a 15 year old going out...it's ridiculous? the 15 year old would be asking for more and would be much to mature for the 12 year old...

    but if a 19 year old girl went out with a 22 year old man, well theres not much of a mature difference. the man and the woman are into the same things and would be expecting the same things...

    so basically, it depends on your age and maturity.

    hope that helped!

    It all depends how old you are. Obviously a 13 yr old cant date a 20 yr old. The maturity is just too different. But I'm 20 and my bf id going to be turning 26 in a week. Girls just mature faster than guys

    I'd say 5 at the very, I just got dumped by my 20 year-old girlfriend (Iam 27), and part of the problem was that she is too immature to understand that a successful relationship is based on communication...

    The closer the age the better;

    But over 30, there seems to be less of a problem with age, as there are many variations, many very sucessful. Then interests and finances become much more important...(I'd luv to 'Hook-Up with a 25 yr. old 'HOTTIE', but it's not going to happen).....!!

    Depends on age. If you're still in high school 3 years, if you're not 10 years. This is just my opinion.

    Take the oldest person's age. Divide it by two and add seven.

    Examples.

    A 20 year old shouldn't go younger than 17

    A 30 year old shouldn't go younger than 22

    A 50 year old shouldn't go younger than 32

    Good question.

    For me I'd have to say around 15 years, but no younger than 17 as I'm not into sex with children.
