Well, my ex boyfriend is 30, and i'm 18.

I don't have a problem with age at all.

ABSOLUTELY happyness isnt a destination its a way of being...

when i was 19 i went out with a 33 year old, and when i was 35 a 23 year old...

i think age doesnt matter but i do think that there are more challenges the larger the age gap...

in my twenties i tended to go out with women in their thirties because they had more substance, now that i am myself in my thirties i am looking for somone similar age or slightly younger...

i think it is great to be open to all people whatever their age religion sexual persuasion etc... who knows how they could enrich your life if you dont try?!

I prefer women younger than myself upto 10 years wouldn't bother me as long as they are happy with the situation. I think some women begin to start to want to settle down and get their slippers on when they are approaching 30.

I've never dated a younger woman, Tho I am only 21!

I dated a girl who was 20 while I was 40, we enjoyed it, although on a couple of occasions she was asked had she come out with he dad for evening

My current GF is almost 22 and I am 40. The age gap is not a problem whatsover. (Other things are though - grumble, grumble)

age doesnt matter, biggest age difference i've ever done was he was 16 years my elder, and it worked really well, we wanted the same things and lived together for a while, if it feels right then just do it, u just may get some crap off some ppl for it, but if u can ignore them then theres no problem.

My youngest was 17 when I was in my early 20's. My oldest was 43 when I was 23. I'm 28 now and prefer younger men for some odd reason!

Age has never bothered me (22), never been more that a year or two younger than me, but olderwise, oldest ex is 38, it was good for a while had to call it a day though through problems with her son. When looking i normally look at ages 20 - 30ish.

my ex was 19yrs older then me, we were together for about a year.

age never bothered me, didn't bother her once she realised that the only people who thought anything of it was oaps!

In the society we live in today i feel age does matter maybe not to you but i bet your/their friends thought it mattered, sorry for bringing a cloud over here. I did'nt want to spoil the idea I know you will say forget them but can you really, what about families?
