It depends how much older than me.

Even if the age difference was even one day? One of them born on August 31st and the other September 1st?

Personally doesn't bother me.

I know, it's ridiculous, especially as some of them are born in september/november so they're already dating younger people but for some reason that's an exception to the rule because they're in their academic year... I mean seriously... :rolleyes:

A younger bf (like more than a year below me) wouldnt appeal to me, the guy i was going out with before last was only 7 months younger but seemed very immature at times. My bf now is a year older than me and i find that fine, but due to a bad experience in a relationship where the guy was 3/4 years older than me because of the differences in age and life experience, i wouldnt want a relationship with a guy more than 2 years older than me either.

I've always wanted to get with a middle aged woman whose really posh and intelligent like a doctor or something. :cool:

Same here he he. I adore older middle-class professional type women, I mean assuming they look after themselves, I like to please 'powerful' women I love it.

I've had by balls checked a few times by older female Doctors.... defiantly kept those experiences in the '**** bank'.

Older women/girls are all cool with me... Long as its not like 20-30 years older.

Sweet.

Nope, I wouldn't mind as long as the age gap isn't too big and he is mature enough. It is said that girls mature faster than boys, but there is always the exception to the rule, isn't it? we cannot generalise.

My boyfriend's nearly a year younger than me but he's just as (if not, more...) mature :P We're still in the same school year (if you can call it that now, first year university haha ^_^) and I always forget that I'm older than him :smile:

I think it's absolutely fine as long as it's not sleazy, and as long as it's not like a 14-year-old girl and a 50-year-old man o.O

Within a reasonable amount of time it would not bother me.

I know, it shouldn't be a problem - I've gone out with someone who was in the year above me when I was in Year 11/12. I was born on September 1st and she was born August 30th of the same year. Technically only 2 days separated us (but in the eyes of the school, it was 1 full academic year). Still, she took a gap year after Year 13, so we both went to the same Uni at the same time! :biggrin:

Aw, how sweet! Sorry, I'm a sucker for these kinds of stories; are you still together?

I'm 22 so i'd date anyone in the 18 to 32 age range. Doesn't bother one bit as long as she is a nice person. I'm not that picky

Unfortunately not :frown:

- she left to go to America (she dropped out from uni) and we agreed that it would be very difficult to maintain a long term LDR. I did, however, get a new gf; incidentally she went to the same school as me!

I've personally not really had a problem with it. My first boyfriend who I was with for 4 years was 16 months younger than me (we were never the same age though which was slightly annoying!) and at first it was a bit strange but after we were so happy together, it just didn't really seem to matter!

My current boyfriend of 1 year and 4 months is 11 months younger than me too (we're the same age for a month yay!) and no one bats an eyelid really! Plus he love sit, he likes to say "Younger men have the stamina, older women have the experience!" Haha!

It's probably cause I'm quite young looking anyway and am very youthful at heart and so balances out with a younger guy's mentality! :smile:

Are you actually being serious? Surely a matter of months is an irrelevance? :confused:

I do not see the problem if dating guy who is one year younger than you but I think 2 or more years younger is a definite No No.
i think it matters a lot while your in you're teen years and early twenty but once you past 25, you kind of grow out of it and the gap between you and your younger partner does not seem to be acknowledged as much anymore.
