Does age matter?HELP!!!
i have a crush in this guy-he's five years older than me and when i told some of my mates they said be careful-but im pretty sure he's serious and wont play around with me-what i wanna know is does age really matter when you like someone??? Help!!! Scroll to see replies
Well how old are you? If you're early to mid-teens I would say five years is maybe too much of a gap, because there'll be a big difference in maturity for example, but if you're late teens or older then it's not really as much of a problem.
My Mum and Dad were around 17 and 22 respectively when they met, and two of my mates at uni have a 9 year age gap (one is 19 and the other is 28). In both cases the age difference has never caused a problem.

No, in my opinion, it doesn't matter.
5 years is hardly a big age gap anyway (unless you are underage then, going on personal experience here, I'd be a bit wary of what he was after and that he wasn't looking to take advantage)
Personally it comes down to:
Initial attraction/ sexual chemistry/ a spark (not being superficial here, just realistic)
Personality
Compatibility
Similar attitudes/ looking for the same thing out of the relationship
Age never really factors into the equation for me, well, apart from the upper limit I've got fixed in my mind. If you like him, go for it. Just, as with any new partner, make sure that they want to be with you for the right reasons so you don't get hurt.

There's 5 years between my boyfriend and I; we met when I was 18.
In short, I think it matters when you're under the age of consent, but not so much when you're over the age of consent (although it might still matter to an extent between the ages of 16 & 18 if you're still living under your parents' roof and they have a problem with it!).

umm the ages 14 and 19
What would a 19 year old want with a 14 year old other than easy pussy?
thing is he didnt know i was fourteen-i look older becasue of my height and stuff
your friends are right-take care-but if you're sure he's not like that then-i say go for it-like a date or 2-dont do anything you dont wanna do-and if he turns out to be a b****** then dump him.
14 and 19? In that case, no - I think it would be a bad idea. If you were a couple of years older at least, then yeah maybe. Not now though.
When you say he's 'serious', are you saying he's been blatantly flirting with you then or what?

Oh and be honest about your age to him.

I thought you said he thinks you're older than 14? 
Do you mean that he did think you were older, but now knows otherwise?
