To me personally to a certain point yes. I couldnt ever date anyone who is too young or too old for me. I prefer to date someone who is around about my age. (24).

Yes obviously.
Totes x
Yeah theres a cut off I think but not sure what that would be for me. I'm 23 and my partner is 27, so theres a 4 year gap there but to be honest I tend to forget that gap even exists. :P
I wouldn't go too overboard, I'm 22 and my boyfriend's 27 and I don't even think about it! I know the other couple at work have an age gap too, the guy is 20 and the girl is 30, but you can't even tell and they don't let it phase them either.

I guess when you find the person you love you just don't think of the age at all. :P Just wanted to see what everyone else on the forum thought of age gaps mostly :).Quote:

I can imagine it must get very tiring people not accepting it. I mean if you were under 18 id probably think its a bit odd? Maybe odd isnt the right word idk. But youre 18, an adult so you can make your own decisions:)Quote:

I'm currently dating someone older than me, which is a first because I've always dated younger, and it's a lot better because of the closeness in age, I think we're both at the age where we want similar things and we can achieve those together, rather than dating someone younger who might not be at that stage. The ages being 26 (me) and 28 (her).
i think there is many boundaries that should not matter, eg 18 and 16. as when they are 40 the other would be 38 so who cares lmao. but say 18 and 60 or 16 and 42+ etc well that is just strange imo.
