I turned 16 last week and he turned 18 yesterday. We've only been going out for a few days. Is this an acceptable age difference?

[Fuzzicle]

Anyone?

I'd say so I was 16 when me and my boyfriend met and he was 18. We're are still together now 2 1/2 years later xxx

It's fine, pretty normal for people of your ages to be going out (me and my boyfriend for example - I'm 17 he's almost 20)

There is nothing wrong with this.

I'm 16, boyfriend is 22. Age = just a number. Never a problem, especially after leaving school.

[pink pineapple]

nope, nothing wrong with this age gap

Why would it be unacceptable?

My boyfriend and I have 6 years between us and it's not an issue.
You're both over 16 and if you're similar in maturity and you're happy together then I can't see why there's an issue, unless you feel there is one.

I would have thought that was a pretty standard age difference to be honest.

[Mad Cat Lady]

mental maturity is all that really matters

[Cherriesxo]

I'd say it's pretty common

It's fine, I was 16 when my ex was 18. It's probably a fairly normal age gap

[Foo.mp3]

Sure, why not.. my ex was 16 when I first started hanging out with her and I was a LOT older

[MattCunnelly]

I'm 20, girlfriend's 17. It's fine.

[elmoemie]
