ugh, Bec, I WISH I could date people older... It's not like I aim for younger guys, it just happens! I hope the next one is older though! I've never had that as an experience.

i'm 21 and my current guy is 19.
initially, we'd both be very embarrassed to tell other people our age and we, ourselves, were quite bothered by the fact also..
even though sometimes he is childish, but sometimes, when i'm in a loss or needs help, his maturity wull suddenly shoot up.

hmmm.. other than that, i think being romantic or more eager to please has nothing gotta do with age.
i feel that these traits boils down to the person's upbringing and also personality.

I've only ever dated younger guys, but only by chance. As a parent, would it be weird for your kids to date someone much older/younger than them?
For some reason, I would be LIVID if my daughters wanted to date someone my age (20 years older than they would be) because I would feel like the old pervert was just using them to feel young. I'm not discriminating though, because I would feel the same if my son dated an old woman!
Maybe my bias comes from the fact that I've dated slightly younger guys, i'm not sure.
What do you think?

I've only ever dated one younger guy, which was in high school so I don't think it really counts. He was 15 and I was 17, it didn't work out obviously lol. He was not at all at the maturity level I was at and we just didn't work out. Because of that experience I don't think I could ever date a younger guy, I've always been more attracted to older guys. BUT I wouldn't ever date a guy that's 5 or more years older then me either.

I think it depends on the person though. You never know who you're gonna fall in love with and when that happens, age doesn't matter.

I'm the younger guy! my wife is a few years older than me and we have been together for quite some time.

The one thing i can tell you is the age difference is a fairly big issue when you are in your 20's unless you both can deal with it. and there will be impacts in terms of where you go or what you end up doing together.

Later (read 30+) I honestly think the age difference is minimal. Most of all I think it comes down to how you feel. I have met 60 year olds that are still young at heart and only wish their looks matched their inner self. And i have met people at 35 who were Retirement Waiting to Happen.
