(Edited by penguincube at 4:31 pm on Jan. 14, 2005) -- Posted by JeSsIcA86 at 9:42 am on Sep. 25, 2004 I am really a believer that age doesn't matter.  But I think that really applies with the older you get.  Like a 25 year old and a 30 year old, no big deal. But at the teenage years, you go through so many changes and just a few years difference you are very different emotionally.  I being a college freshman could never go out with a sophmore, because I am just emtionally not at the same level as that person.   But if you two feel that you connect well, all the power to you! -- Posted by Redemption at 9:43 am on Sep. 25, 2004 Love can be tangled by the 2 most different people. ^^^ no one try to top that quote I just made up... lol Well... umm.. it shouldn't matter at all. If you truely like him, go for it.. and him. ;)   lol jk .. You're not really in a "long distance relationship". Plus it's legal... so why not? Just make sure you're not wasting time with him... *feels braindead* -- Posted by rebelion at 9:59 am on Sep. 25, 2004 There's not much of a maturity difference between 18 and 16.Nah it doesn't matter;you both like each other right? Then go for it. -- Posted by saucy girl at 10:28 am on Sep. 25, 2004 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 -- Posted by rekithefang at 11:02 am on Sep. 25, 2004 Hey, age doesn't matter as long as you think that your ready. -- Posted by junglebellcat at 12:08 pm on Sep. 25, 2004 So if I were 18, and my girlfriend was 10, and she believed she was ready, would that be okay?   You have to set limits, obviously.  A 3 year gap is the maximum. -- Posted by rottenvanity at 12:31 pm on Sep. 25, 2004 Well, I believe age matters when it comes to.. say.. a huuuuge age difference like 16 and 30 [eck]. But 2 years isn't that big. My boyfriend and I are 2 years apart from eachother. He's a college freshman and I'm a junior in highschool. -- Posted by Bex at 12:36 pm on Sep. 25, 2004 in my opinion, i personally dont think that age matters. if you like him,and he likes you, and its not just for the sex then go for it. enjoy it girl!!!  :p -- Posted by JeSsIcA86 at 12:43 pm on Sep. 25, 2004 Quote: from rebelion at 10:59 am on Sep. 25, 2004 There's not much of a maturity difference between 18 and 16.Nah it doesn't matter;you both like each other right? Then go for it. Hummm...a sophomore in high school (or even a junior) with a freshman in college.  This is completely different.  One is worried about driving and the friday football game, while the other is worried about life decisions including marriage.   Hey but maybe that is just who I am, I am sure that there are many 18 year olds that are still concerned with picking their nose. As I said before age is not that big of a factor with the older you get, but the younger you are the more age takes a role.  Every situation is different and so only the individual can tell. -- Posted by BabyDee at 12:48 pm on Sep. 25, 2004 I think it really depends on maturity and whether you want the same things form a relationship -- Posted by lilcrzydrkysballchic at 12:57 pm on Sep. 25, 2004 I think age matters like your boyfriend being 2 years older i don't think that is bad... personally I wouldn't go out with anyone more than 4 years older than me!!! -- Posted by slmsdanzer2 at 6:48 pm on Sep. 25, 2004 when you get older, it would really matter as much, like if he was 25 and you were 23 or somethin like that, when you were both out of college.. but when you have friends and people to impress, i think sometimes age does matter -- Posted by MissKate at 8:59 pm on Sep. 25, 2004 What a tangled web we weave.. You love people for them, not their age, right? So what's the problem? 16 and 18 is no biggy! My mate, who is 15, is currently ENGAGED to a 29 year old. That's right, you didn't read that wrong!! He's 29! They've been going out since she was 13.. A 14 year age gap is something worth questioning over. -- Posted by stevek at 5:10 am on Sep. 26, 2004 Quote: from MissKate at 5:59 pm on Sep. 26, 2004 What a tangled web we weave..

A 14 year age gap is something worth questioning over. hmmm...does your friend go on these forums?  Cuz I think she needs to slow down (just a tad).  Age gap - i like the 3 years one for teenage years.  My distant cousin or something is 25ish and she is engaged to a 42 year old, who is rich....i think thats wrong, but its funny to joke about in the family...who knows what will happen (Edited by stevek at 2:10 am on Sep. 27, 2004) -- Posted by SoftballSammi11 at 6:52 am on Sep. 26, 2004 2 years isnt a real big diffrence. though peoples replys have said your not emotionaly on the same level.... well i think you would have to be to fall in love with each other. and imean okay your 16 old enough to make some decisions by yourself so i say y not. -- Posted by The Moons Shadow at 8:18 am on Sep. 26, 2004 All the older guys seem more experienced than me, so i went out with somone 2 months younger than me.  :D   -- Posted by Linkinparkgrl103 at 9:19 am on Sep. 26, 2004 First of all, a post doesn't have to be original...a post is a post. You don't like my posts, don't read them...plain and simple. As for the penis question, it really doesn't matter to me. As long as he has one and I'm not dating a female...then it's fine with me. I don't care about that kind of thing. We both care about each other a lot and it's not a long distance relationship. I was just curious to know what other people's opinions are. The general opinion seems to be the same. I do believe, however, a limit must be set (i.e. a 15 year old and a 35 year old. Big no no!). That's just my opinion on the matter anyway. -- Posted by sexy0 2 0 7 at 2:26 pm on Sep. 26, 2004 i dont think that age matters, as long as you both love each other why should such a small factor such as age come into it!!! -- Posted by MissKate at 6:06 pm on Sep. 26, 2004 Quote: from stevek at 2:10 am on Sep. 27, 2004 Quote: from MissKate at 5:59 pm on Sep. 26, 2004 What a tangled web we weave..

Nah, I'm sure they're a lovely couple.. :D As for my mate, slowing down doesn't seem like an option! She's happy, he's happy, and they seem to be genuinely in love! Her parents, who were, and still are, good mates with the 29yr guy, seem to have gotten over the whole OMG-YOUR-DATING-MY-15-YEAR-OLD-DAUGHTER factor, so I guess there's no stopping them now.. HOORAY FOR ILLEGAL SEX!  :8 -- Posted by rebelion at 6:42 am on Sep. 27, 2004 Personally i think that age does not actually confer maturity.It's experience. besides,you like someone for WHO THEY ARE. Not because they are a certain age. So age really is just a number.Yes it's a factor but it is in no way a determined factor.You should not chose to forget about someone because you think their too young or too old. Until a certain extend that kind of worry is just a label handed out by society,and generalized by a few bad experiences of when older guys take advantage of the inexperience of younger girls. That isn't always the case. What really matters is if two people feel confortable with one another in a relationship,above all. -- Posted by redprincess6969 at 7:46 am on Sep. 27, 2004 Quote: from Linkinparkgrl103 at 9:32 am on Sep. 25, 2004 I would like to know people's opinions on this subject. I have a boyfriend who is 18, and goes to a college thirty minutes away from me. I am almost 16, and a high school sophomore. Does anyone believe that age matters? no age doesnt matter. -- Posted by lil mz rocker at 8:16 pm on Sep. 27, 2004 ok people....age really doesnt matter unless its like a twenty year different and your like 10 and hes 30..EWWW PETIFILE :P......if you and they person get along and like each other than why should it??...BUT ANYWAY WAYZ -- Posted by maudlinano at 10:41 am on Sep. 28, 2004 I think for the situation of a 16 yo and an 18 yo, age doesn't matter.  Their maturity levels are around the same.  I think age doesn't matter.  But it depends on the people. Generationally, a ten year gap for example can really set two people apart.  But it might also help.  I always wanted to be with older guys.  But for this point in my life, it won't work.  Come two or three years, i'll be more of an adult and age gaps won't matter.  When you are a high school, college aged individuals; your mind is still developing, your identity still developing... a huge age gap would just end in disappointment. Anyways, just make sure its legal, its ok with your family, and you guys have stuff in common besides sexual attraction.  Then, you'll be OK. -- Posted by devilgirl1227 at 6:44 pm on Sep. 28, 2004 I dont think thats a problem, its not like ur older than him.I mean theres nothing wrong with that at all its only 2 years.  :) -- Posted by kdiggitydoggy at 2:41 pm on Sep. 30, 2004 Do I think age matters? no. as long as you love the other person, nothing else matters. -- Posted by xith at 10:14 pm on Sep. 30, 2004 Well, First off i'd like to say this: Girls mature faster then Men. I know i'm going to get into trouble for saying that, but it's true in most cases! I would say that that age is perfect for you. He probably acts, thinks, is in the same maturity level as you. So you guys would be able to bond easily. Don't yell at me too hard! ;) Hehe -- Posted by belligerentbitch at 10:00 am on Oct. 1, 2004 I don't think the 2 year age gap makes a difference. If you both like one another, and have things in common - the ages difference shouldn't come into it. Age differences are only really noticable due to laws and things set out for us from when we were little - like school year groups... (I'm English so... it works a lil differently) but, someone going out with someone in a different year group would be seen as "wrong" due to the difference in "maturity" when to be honest everyone matures differently any. Logic has it someone will get to some one who is at the same maturity level as they are - that would play an important part in the bond in the first place!!?  :)    (i think!) -- Posted by nastasia at 2:04 pm on Oct. 1, 2004 naa and ur just 2 years apart nothings wrong with that :D -- Posted by Kir194 at 2:18 pm on Oct. 1, 2004 Age doesn't matter; maturity does. 2 years is nothing - my partner is thirty one years older than I am.
