Age difference

Anon please.

Just met a guy I like properly. We hit it off, I find him attractive and I think he likes me back.

However, is it wierd to be with a lad who is two years younger, nearly three. I'm 20 (nearly 21) and he is 18.

Who would find this odd, and who finds this acceptable?

I liked 20-year-old girls when I was 18.

Half plus 7.

Perfectly acceptable.

who cares about what other people think? Are you happy with the gap?
2 years is absolutely fine! Personally, anything up to 4/5 years wouldn't be weird (he would have to be older though). But being an older woman (sorry if i'm assuming things) is fine, it's your choice! :smile:
As long as YOU are happy (Y)

no darling, the question is: what do YOU think? do YOU find it odd??
My boyfriend's 21, I'm 24, we've been blissfully in love for 10 months.
It's a tiny difference, if it's not a problem for you, then go for it.
That's a fine age difference.

You call that an age gap? :lolwut:

My parents have 15 years between them and I don't see a problem with it :p:

Forget about what anyone else thinks - as long as you're happy, go for it :smile:

Thats nothing, as long as you're happy with it thats all that matters.
even thought 2 years gap isnt a problem i could never go out with somebody younger then me becuase im female.. when i was 17 i went out with a 26 year old man which was fine but when the female is older it would just feel wrong in my eyes/... but as others said its about how you feel about it :smile:

I wouldn't find it a problem, but I do not know any of my girl friends being older than their boyfriends.

I'm 18 and the person I love is 22. So yeah, that's fine :P:

Well i've heard girls mature faster than guys and so personally i've always seen guys my age as immature and so i go for older guys & wouldn't dream of seeing a younger guy.

If it works for u it's all good though.

Edit..it can be seen as hypocritical coz i think it's okay for guys to date younger but i think girls dating younger is awkward lol
it's fine ,its only 2 years! =]

Would this be fine if you were 22 and he was 18? Assuming its a he. What I mean is, is it ok for 22 year old girls to be with 18 year old boys?

Also OP I met my ex when I was just 19 and he was just 17 and we didn't start going out until he turned 18, thank God cos all my friends said it would be weird if I was with a 17 year old at the time (even though he looked about 5 years older than me!)

18 and 20 is fine.
