Please share your opinions here on age differences in teen dating.  Is age just a number, or should you stay close to your own age?  How many years is too much?

Age shouldn't be a problem as long as the two are mature enough to deal with it.

how about 15 and 17 going on 18?
i believe that age is just a number but it's different in highschool. people keep on judging based on who i have feelings for. calling me a slut and such...but i really like this guy. oh well...

hmm i think age shouldn't really matter.. its your decision!

I think a 16 year old marrying a 85 year old or something. is just wrong though!!!! lol


  i agree with her and jessica86 if u think hes right then go for it and dont get discureged by whatever anyone says.

I beleive that age doesn't matter- but maturity does. Who cares if your lover is 2, 12, or 20 years apart form you- if you love them and they love you in a serious, stable way, that's wonderful!

I think if it's more than 3 years,its to big of a gap. My friend isz 13 and she'sz dating a 16 year old. It'sz been on my mind a lot lately and I'm not okay with it. I just see him taking advantage of her and just doing her wrong. I don't think anything good can come of it because of age.

Me and my boyfrend are 3 years apart, i was 15, he was 18 wen we first started going out. A the tim eit sounded bad and we lied to everyone told them I was older dat I was 16. Now I'm actually 17 and he's 21. I'm probly more mature then he is. I dont really think age is a matter but my oly warning to you since Iv been there myself is that it can put serious stress on your relationship as things progress. Hes older wants to settle dow ect. wanting different things holding eachother back. Just be warned!!

it's nothing but a stupid nember
i'm dating a guy how's a year younger than me
and we re really so in love, we even plan to continue together
so ...relationships are about love,respect,and lots of other things very much more important than age

Im really touchy about this subject.
Age is just another label floating above your head.
this guy tells me he doesnt mind hook ups but he cant have a relationship because" youre too young sweetie". excuses.
he was 24 and Im 18.
6 years? big deal.
so one day he'll have his ass handed too him by me yet again and Ill look at him and say "sorry honey youre just too old."

sounds like youre pretty insecure

the guy didnt want to date you because hes probably decent and no decent 24 year old would go out with an 18 year old, in almost every circumstance
