Age Gaps shouldn't really matter unless its like an 73 year old dating a 13 year old.

I agree.

if there's any gap, it's best the woman is older, guys are untrustworthy

Just wondering what people felt about age gaps in relationships. I'm 15, my boyfriend is 17. My mam's fine with it, but my dad has this big issue with it and has told me I can't see him again. However, my dad's never even met him or anything therefore doesn't even know what he's talking about!

Anyhoo, I'm still with him and my mam knows, and won't tell my dad- so I was wondering other people's views on this and other age gap relationships...


personally, i think theres a limit for age gaps in relationships. i would say anything above 10 years is going a bit far, but at the same time it depends on the maturity of the couple and what their ages are. for example, a 12 year old girl dating a 17 year old boy, in my opinion, is rather sick. however, a 32 year old women dating a 37 year old man doesn't really show such signs of a huge age gap, because they are both adults and can take control of their own decisions.

but, generally, i think age gaps have a limit, and it depends on the age of the couple and their maturity.

I don't care about age gaps, if they like each other fair enough.
But if one person is, like.. 20 odd years old, and the other person is 15, that's kind of paedophillic (sp, I can NEVER spell that word). But who am I to say, I've never felt anything for anyone who's at least a year older than me so I don't really know.. but my grandparents had 10 years apart..

I think it doesn't matter at all. And it's stupid that some ppl think that the guy can be older than the woman, but the woman could never be older...Like to some ppl Ashton Kutcher's (orwhateverhisnameis) and Demi Moore's relationship seems to be a problem, because Demi is way older than Ashton. Does it really matter? it's about the person, not about age or gender.

well, there's a slight age gap between adrienne and billie joe. it doesn't matter as much now, but maybe it might have done when they first met? i'm not really sure of the difference

I think that 9 years is the most, but that's when you're an adult. When you're a teenager/child 2 years is fine.

that is stupid what your ex says, who's he to mess in your relationship!
and as long as ur 16 its perfectly legal!

i think it depends on the person for an age gap! and alos how old you are coz when you're an adult it doesnt matter really!

Ooh, this is a goody for me. I am 23 and my boyfriend is 36. We got together when I was 19 and he was 32. Some people thought it was incredibly weird (and sick) and people accused him of cradle-robbing and me of grave-robbing! It's a 13-year age gap, and yeah, sometimes it shows. He's actually closer in age to my mum than he is to me. But in a way it's good. I've always been pretty mature, he's always been pretty immature. We've been together four years, lived together for three, and I'm pretty sure we'll be together for a long time (I'm always saying I'll get rid of him eventually and stick him in an old-folks home, then get a toyboy!). Strangely, the people who never had a problem with it were my family. My mum loves him to bits and she always said she knew I would be with an older guy, my sister (who doesn't like many men) calls him her big brother-in-law, my brothers think he's the man. I lurve him as well, you see. He's been there through some bloody tough times in my life and I know I can trust him and he will care about me no matter what. That's really all you need in a relationship.
So anyway, I have no problem with age gaps, whether the woman or the man is older. You don't want to take it too far though (like Anna Nicole Smith and that 90-year-old dude she married), but in all honesty, if you care about each other, what's the problem?

I think that it depends on how big the age gap is. 15 and 17 isn't bad at all. 14 and 18 is.

That was a bit of a read for someone as tired as me, lol, but I really get all that. I'm really happy you're with someone who looks after you, I feel like that with Gerad. xx
