What age is too old for me to date?
I am eighteen, it seems like I am always attracted to guys 2-6 years older than me. I am pretty mature for my age. I know that people of different ages sometimes have different priorities in life, and that sometimes big age gaps don't work.. What age do you think is the oldest I should date?

Thats not a bad gap but honestly I would try to stick to 22 or younger. If the age gap gets too wide a guy kind of sees you as his pet or something, and not exactly equals. You are going to run into other issues also if you get past around 22. Men older than that are more prone to get married and not necessarily for the right reasons. They might "lock it up" just because they haven't had anything good come along for a while. Not to mention and not trying to be gross but quite simply a guy who is say 19 is less likely to have an STD than a guy who is 24. I'm sure you are smart and will use good judgement .i.e. getting tested / using protection but its something that should be in the back of your head maybe.

Date, have sex with and marry are entirely different levels of relationships.
I would recommend you date anyone who you think you might get along with. This way you can decide whether the individual is right to take to the next level. This is the easiest stage, although you should be careful. Try to keep an open mind and not worry about what other people think.
The other side of the equation is whether the individuals in question will feel the same way about you. You may think you're more mature than a potential beau considers you to be.
In any case, get out there and have fun!

the u . s . is a federal republic the place the age of consent rules are made on the state point. There exist quite a few federal statutes related to retaining babies from sexual predators, yet none of them imposes an age decrease on sexual acts. On 26 June 2003, the two heterosexual and gay sodomy grew to become criminal in all US states and territories decrease than a US suited court docket selection called Lawrence v. Texas [6] (between non-commercial, consenting adults in a private mattress room). In Limon v. Kansas (2005), the Kansas suited court docket used Lawrence as a precedent to overturn the state's "Romeo and Juliet" regulation, which proscribed lesser consequences for heterosexuals than homosexuals convicted of comparable age of consent appropriate offenses.[7] there is ongoing advocacy for a uniform age of consent. One suggestion could make the national age of consent 18. If a state has an age of consent decrease than the federal decrease, 10% of federal practise money could be withheld. for this reason a approaches, Congress has no longer seen this or the different suggestion to alter the status quo. in spite of the incontrovertible fact that there is a straight forward false impression between many individuals that there is a federal decrease at 18, yet that's fake, because of the fact the age decrease in maximum states is in fact decrease than 18. There are some claims that it is by technique of maximum American television media being produced in southern California, so writers (and visitors by utilising extension) could be usually conscious of basically one state's penal code (see decrease than.)

18 is an adult you can do what you want, you will be views as a gold digger if you date anyone above the age of 30 though
now if you were 17 i'd say 2-6 years older would be way too old as you'd be a child dating an adult

It isn't the number that matters, it's the maturity level & age the person acts.
