Cyne Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 I'm a 20 year old Male living in Canada. I was wondering how much younger & older you guys would consider the cut-off age to date someone, it's been on my mind a lot lately. Link to comment
L8RISER Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Maybe 16 - but it's pushing it. As for older, sky's the limit - you're an adult. Link to comment
kellbell Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 anything younger than 16 is pushing it, even that is kind of young. But being 20, I would not date anyone younger than 16. Link to comment
Cyne Posted October 13, 2005 Author Share Posted October 13, 2005 I wonder, because even though I've always been years ahead of my time in regards to maturity, I always seem to attract younger girls 15 and up. But I've also just been wondering in general of others views. Link to comment
kellbell Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Girls tend to be more mature at an earlier age, so we tend to like older men But I still think anyone younger than 16 is too young. Link to comment
Beec Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 A friend cone told me the way to calculate how young a man could go, and still be socially acceptable was to take his age, divide it in half, then add seven. So at 20, she would be at least 17. At 30, she should be 22. Etc., etc. Once she is of legal age, I think it is all about how you deal with each other, the difference and how society treats the difference, including your friends and family. Link to comment
Day_Walker Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 society seems to be able to accept 4 years age difference pretty comfortably. People exceed that all the time it just has to make sense to the parties involved. Link to comment
combat_barbie Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Depends on the person situation and reason why. I mean now it Canada at least a lot of university students are 16. I would say maybe 15ish but it all depends how each part acts and looks. At 16 I went out with a guy that was 24 but when i met him he just assumed I was closer to his age since I looked older so it wasn't really weird. So basically I don't really think there is an age cut off girls develop faster than guys in general about 2 years faster but that number is extremely variable. I have a friend who developed very early she began menstrating at about 9 years old she was also extremely intellectually developed she skipped a grade when she was yound and then did the I.B. curriculum which in Canada allows you to skip first year university because the curriculum is so advanced. Anyway, my point is she was in secodn year university at age 16. Thats not normal but in general we all develop differently so ages don't really matter all that much. Definatly I would say it would be weird to date girls that are still developing physically even if they were 17-18 but that is extremely rare. Link to comment
miracle29 Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 16yrs old? NOOOOO 18yrs should be the youngest....and no older than ..(well that is another ball game..so i wont say...i'll let the older women decide) But a 16yr old wont be able to keep up with you. Just think in a year you will be 21...she wont able to go to clubs or drink wine or anything with you. Stick with someone closer to you age. 16 is too young. Link to comment
Cyne Posted October 13, 2005 Author Share Posted October 13, 2005 I don't go to clubs, drink or smoke anyway... I know a few girls that are 15-17 that are years ahead of their age in regards to maturity, physically and the way they act and think. Link to comment
ScreenagerX Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Yeah I'm going with miracle29 on this one - 18 Link to comment
miracle29 Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 I don't care how mature they seem ...I would steer clear of anyone less than 18. You asked for opinions and thats all I can provide you with. I know it is seriously frowned upon in America for a 20yr old to date anyone under 18...even 17yrs old is pushing it. But things may be different in Canada...though I'd think not much. Link to comment
pineapple_juice Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Ages 17 to 23 would be good!!!! Link to comment
hutch007 Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 ya ide agree with just bout everyone here..... 18 or 17 is pretty good for a cut off.... couse im only 14 but if some of my friends that 16 or 15 went out with a 20 year old.... that would be slightly creepy no affence also u think perants would be ok with it if their 15 or 16 year old daughter went out with a 20 year old? dont think so.... stil to anyone 17-18 and up hope this has helped Link to comment
TLC1971 Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 I am in my 30s. I could not date anyone younger than 25 or older than 42. that is my cutoff. Link to comment
qpmomma Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 LOL.........I'm 21 and I've never dated anyone in thier 20's. So my cut off would be anyone younger than 30. But that's just me. Christina Link to comment
pineapple_juice Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 Isn't that a bit extreme??? LOL.........I'm 21 and I've never dated anyone in thier 20's. So my cut off would be anyone younger than 30. But that's just me. Christina Link to comment
rubberducky86 Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Personally I have always liked older men so I wouldn't date anyone younger than me. When I was 16 I liked someone who was 24 and now I am glad I didn't date him because I have changed so much. The only thing you would do with someone so young is movies, dinner, and sex. IF you look like you are 20 or older and she looks like she is 15 or younger, I'm sure peoples opinions would prolly effect your relationship. And sex shouldn't big a big factor in a relationship right away, regardless of age differences. The choice is always up to you and the person you want to be with, but if your asking for advice I would say 18 & up. Link to comment

Cassyniner Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 I'm with the 18 and older group--It may not be against the law there in Canada--but there is a reason why adults are not allowed to date minors here in the States. It is thought that adults may influence minors unduly in the relationship. In my own experience--true story. I dated a 24 y/o when I was 16--big mistake!! Link to comment
RooferGirl23 Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 Its just a number. If you love the person, it does not matter. (but 1 condition.. keep it within the legal limits, of course! haha) Link to comment
xo_fallingangel_xo Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 I'd say at the very youngest, a mature 15 year old...at the oldest, someone in their mid late 20s. it all depends on personality and emotional maturity/experience, I think. The age of consent in Canada (or at least Ontario) is 14. Link to comment
rosstheboss Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 when i was 20 i started going out with a girl who was 15. she is very mature for her age etc etc!! and we love each other very much -BUT- at 15 they are still growing. I am finding this out the hard way and it is very hard. Just over 1 year later and she isn't the same person I met and fell for. Link to comment
pineapple_juice Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 What do you too have in common? I can't imagine that a 20 year old and a 15 year old have much in common...Whats the connections? Link to comment
