Sounds like you have have a good basis for a relationship. With the age difference though I would suggest becoming his friend first. Group settings are usually the most succesful when it comes to getting to know someone. There is also the mental development that Stormraven mentions. According to specialists you will be going through the most changes mentally in the next 3 years then you have in the rest of your life, by the time your 21 you may not be the same person anymore. I guess what I'm saying is see if you can get some kind of group activity going that you can invite him to. That way there is a lot less pressure on both of you, you're more likely to have a good time, and you can take things easy and see how they go.

personally I think that age shouldnt matter, but hey with the way society is going, age does matter. So I say, if the ages ranges from 3-6 years apart, I dont see such a big issue, as long as you're both at a legal age. Now if it was a 14 yr. old going out with a 20-22 yr old, errr...if I were the parents, I take a second look at my son/daughters relationship with this particular person. Then again, restating myself that, age shouldnt matter, becuz we cant help who we love.

looks like the general opinion is if your young, Age DEFINITELY matters. You can be 16, think you very mature, say how you've had such and such experiences, but come 4 years later and you reflect back you'll be saying "damn I didn't know anything". Hence the saying "listen to your elders".

If i see some young person, even 18-19 going out with someone thats like 28, theres definitely something else going on here. Why'd that person just create contact with such and such and be so interested? Their at such complete different stages in their life. One starting school, the other already with their career going. Could be gold digger, pervert, can't handle mature man or woman so they look for young ones, tons of different things. But hey, you won't know unless your there, and i'm not your friend and i don't want to go with you so do whatever the hell you want.

I'm one of those extreme free-love people. If two people of sane-mind want to commit themselves to one another and ahave the ability to express their love for one another then I have absolutely no problem.

c.c.

I think it depends on the overall knowledge of the younger person, and the lack of pervertedness in the older person.

i dont really think that it should, i mean if u want to piss someone off, then there is a wide variety of people! lol, jk!

i don't think that age matters but really depends on the age gap AND how young they are. i wud think that 5 - 8 years gap is ok but not if the person is 14 and the other is like 20 or something. that's too young and parents would not like that idea.

The only person to like me was about 5 years younger than me, so she was jumping the gun on the relationship thing. I look at age like this. My mom is 7 years older than my dad. For me, anything outside of 8 is borderline, but then again age just might not matter. I just don't want anyone old, or young, enough to be my mother/daughter, lol!!

Well I agree Age shouldn't matter over a 8 year difference
