Age Difference

Over the past few days, I’ve talked to a couple of people about what they think of age difference in a relationship. All three of the people I have talked to agreed that age shouldn’t matters; age difference does matter to an extent today in some people’s mind. It’s considered wrong if a college student goes out with a high school student who is a sophomore or freshman. However, there are married couples who are years apart. So, when does it really matter and when is it okay to date someone who’s not around your same age? Age shouldn’t matter because love has no boundaries as to age, race, culture, gender, etc. I believe age difference doesn’t become a factor until after you’re out of college. I agree with those people I talked to about age difference in that age shouldn’t matter, but it does. What do you guys think about age difference?

He he, you know what I think 🙂

It doesnt matter. Unless we are talking about a 70 yr old with a 15 yr old. ILL.

I think age only matters when the law is involved. If one is 19 and the other is 30, hey if you can love then so what right? But if theres one who is 16, and one who is 18…. when it gets serious.. its time to call it quits… when the law plays a role in your relationship thats not good

I agree with the noter who said age doesn’t matter as long as it’s not breaking the law kind of difference. Personal experience, I’ve dated someone my exact age and someone six years older than me. We do have some conflicts/differences, but everyone does. The age doesn’t play a factor in that. I couldn’t agree more. Go by what is in a person’s heart, but not on their b. cert or the color of skin.

Love is love, whatever way you put it. There should be no judgements.

Looked @ GSU because I was curious…. looks nice

age shouldnt matter its weather you love each other or not

the thing is, maturity levels even out as people get older. Although I suppose its possible, I think it’s very rare that college students and high school students have the same maturity level, and I think that matters a lot in a relationship, i think that is a big reason why people think such age gaps involving people our age is weird.

well as you can see law plays a bit role in this.. as far as a college person dating a high school person.. but when you are older and they are out of high school it okay.. its a bit werid if you ask me, but no ages doesn’t matter to me.

Was the crazy HTML hard to read?

I think someone in college should not date a freshman in high school. what do they have in common they are in two totally different places in their lives. I dont’ see how they would want to. When people they older the age gap isn’t so noticable because their lives are in the same place. High School and college are two totally different places and any college student should be able to remember that

I think you’re on the right track. Once you’re out of college, then the age difference starts to show itself more. There’s a wide disparity between some people’s physical age versus their maturity level.

like i told you, i don’t think its so much of the age thing, i think its the maturity that plays a bigger factor in relationships.

i think age really shouldn’t matter but then again if u are under age it does. But right now Steve is 22 and I’m 18. That 4 years different but if and when something happens it’s not going to be a big deal
