True i agree, however i am very mature beyond my years but it does make me wonder about my relationship with a girl that is 9 years older than me...i am really enjoying it but if it gets more serious i dont know what to do doubt is something that makes me worry.

Is anyone here seeing someone allot younger than them?, if yes can you post your opinion about a serious relationship with a younger person.Jan

I disagree sedika, Age does not always equal intelligence, wisdom, or increased seductive manipulation.

Just because you or someone else is older doesn't mean they are better or smarter or more mentally superior. That only rests on what you learn as a child and wether you have mental disablitilies.

I dont think age matters that much as long as their over 18. I do have limits, I would only date someone 21-30 years old. Im 35 BTW.

I didn't say that they are mentally superior or anything like that. What I'm talking about is the development of the brain and the way it perceives situations presented to him/her. And if the person has a mental disorder, then of course that is different. I'm talking about the average joe.

I don't really think that age should matter in a relationship...personally I do think I would go past 5 yrs or so....just because sometimes people are on different playing fields...but if I happend to fall for someone 10yrs older...then oh well lol as long as both parties on on the same page then it shouldn't be an issue

Have you asked her?

I know someone who married a guy 9 years younger then her and it created problems for them. Whenever they had dissagreements on what was best for their family she believed that he didn't take the problem seriously because of his age. He got tired of trying to tell her otherwise and just stopped talking. I get the impression they never really talked about the details before they were married. Big mistake. That doubt you mention was tearing their relationship apart last I saw them. I hope they managed to work things out, but who knows.

So all I can suggest is, ask her. Better to find out now then later.


Luck.
