Davie Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Just wanted to know peoples opinions on age gap relationships really. Kinda curious is all What do you guys think? What are your experiances? Link to comment
top bloke Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 My wife is 2 years older and it has made no difference to me..I had a girlfriend at 19 who was 38..she ended it based on age . I didnt blame her. It was too big a gap for a lifelong relationship. She wanted marriage for her stage of life..( not from me)..I wanted to play.I think our goals were way too different for our stages in life. Cheers mate. Link to comment
waveseer Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I'm finding that the older I get the more accepting I am in general which includes age gap relationships of pretty much any configuration of adults. Link to comment

poison ivy Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I've just written a post on my age gap relationship...might give you some insight into how a younger woman feels. Link to comment
indierockgrl Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I think that age is just a number.... as long as the two people are adults and like each other than they should be able to see where it goes. Love doesnt know age. I think that women mature faster then men do... but if its an older woman then maybe she is looking for something in her life that is missing. Maybe the woman isnt looking for marriage and just wants someone to be there, a fresh perspective, an adventure..... i have never experienced this before (wink).. but i know i would with an open mind. As long as both know the others intent then it may end up a very satisfying experience. Everything, every relationship is a gamble anyway. It doesnt hurt to have an open mind and an open heart. Me being older... i know that a younger guy like you.... has alot of growing and experiencing to do... I would never set myself up for a situation unrealistically. I say, Follow your heart.... you never know what you could learn from each other........ Link to comment
girl68 Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Half plus 7! Good rule, think about it. 16 yr old boy... how young is too young at 16? 16/2+7=15. Sounds about right at 16, 2 years would be too much that young. 30 year old man... how young is cradle robbing? 30/2+7=22. Sounds just about right! Don't want to score them too young! There are exceptions I know but I like the rule, usually works just about right Link to comment
Davie Posted April 8, 2009 Author Share Posted April 8, 2009 I was really just curious.. Link to comment
jengh Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 It seems like EVERY guy I date is 5-7 years older than me. Never more than 7, never less than 5... I'm not sure how that works out...but it's how it's always been for me, even in high school. Link to comment
Night Pumpkin Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 My girlfriend is four years older than me. It is a match made in heaven... Link to comment
Vince99 Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 I desperately want someone to confirm for me that a 7 year gap (when the girl is the older one at 26) will NOT work out! Please!! AAAUGH! Link to comment
indierockgrl Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 I desperately want someone to confirm for me that a 7 year gap (when the girl is the older one at 26) will NOT work out! Please!! AAAUGH! i am exploring the idea of an age gap relationship and i am much older than the guy... more than 7 years..... i know what i want from it, and i assume he does too. i think if your both honest with each other from the beginning.. how could it not work out?

moviebuffny Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 I have been dating my boyfriend for over a year now. He is 31 and I am 46. so far so good. Link to comment
hear_her_roar Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 I think age gap relationships are the same as any other relationships, in that some are awesome and some suck. I've personally never dated anyone my own age. I dated a guy for a year or so who was two years younger than me (which might not sound like a huge deal, but keep in mind this was in high school) which was really fun but quickly turned really rediculous when things started going bad. I've dated older guys who were less mature than him, even, which is always funny. My current partner is ten years older than me, and things are going great. I think the only bad thing about age gap relationships is the reaction you get from the people who aren't your close friends and family. I just started getting friendlier with new coworkers, and when they find out my partner's age they always say things like "How can you date someone so much older?!", "Why don't your parents freak out, do they know you've been living with him for the last year?!" and, my personal favourite, "Ugh, gross" haha.
