Well, personaly, I think it's discriminating to judge people by their age... But of cource, there are some sick bastards who take advantage of stupid young girls, so.... *sigh* I guess it's a desicion made by single persons, not a big group...

I don't think there is any problem with age gaps,as long as you love each other Very Happy
But,Im not saying its normal to be in love with a 80 year old if you like 10 or something,haha.

Yeah, age gaps aren't really that big of a deal. My dad's 53 and my mom's 42. My dad was graduating around the time my mom started second grade, but that isn't when they started dating, is it? Weird how anything above...30 is pretty much one big age. It's like when you're little, you have your a lot of birthdays to get excited about:

Your 1st birthday ever
10th - double digits
13th - officially a "teen"
16th - Sweet Sixteen
18th - DRIVING! (With a licensed adult)
21st - drinking and driving alone (Not together, by the way)

But once you're past all that, there's really no special age...

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...

It depends on how big the age gap is. And it's not the same if you are 15 and there is an age gap of 5 years, of if you are 40 and there is an age gap of five years. But a 2 year age gap is ok.
that's true, it's always different when you're older, isn't it? I mean there's a 7 year gap between my friend's parents, but it makes no difference for some reason. Maybe people just treat "adult" as one age lol


I think it's more because if you're 40 and your boyfriend or girlfriend or husband or wife is 45, then it's less of a deal because it's less of a percentage of your life, whereas if it was a 20 year old going out with a fifteen year old, it's a greater percentage of their lives.

I would rather date someone the same age as me.
I'm not the kind of girl, that goes around dating older guys.
I guess one year older is fine, but much older is pathetic.

Hmmm, age is only a number, if the two people are in love as long as it is not illeagal then i dont see the problem, and i dont think that they should be judged either, it has nothing to do with anyone else

I think it shouldn't matter.
However, if there's a gap of say...50 years, that's a bit too much.
But if they're in love who gives a crap?

It depends on how big the gap is and the person's age. I don't have a problem with younger people going out with someone 2 or 3 years older than them, but not much over that. Unless you're a little older. My parents are about 9 years apart, but they got married when they were older, so it doesn't really matter. I think that's fine unless you're like Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, with that huge of a gap.

I think it's a good thing that a minor can't date someone way older than her, there would be alot of advantage taking going on, byt age is only a number, if your happy and in love, I guess it truely doesnt matter.

Age isnt usually a problem... As long as you're in love it shouldn't matter. But think, to see a 12 year old and a 17 year old together would be considered indecent (for lack of a better word). But a 22 and a 27 year old together isnt. I think it depends on how old the people are (as in 10 and 15, 15 and 20, 25 and 30 ect), the age gap comes afterwards.

My two friends, one is 13 and the other is 14, have a huge crush on a teacher. THey wanted to know his age. I guessed 28, and he is actually 23. (Which, by the way, he doesn't look.) ANyway our form tutor who they asked to ask him his age told them he didn't mind them knowing his age/DOB because he "likes it".
What if this guy's a perv? Is that a big age gap? 9/10 years?
I think it is!

So what if a 40 year old man dates a 31 year old woman?

See, ten/nine years doesn't seem bad at all then.

Yeah, true Very Happy
It's just that being 13/14, they are kids. And he isn't. So that is wrong. However, if they were 18, and he was 27 or something, it wouldn't be as bad.
It's different people's opinions.
