I cant see anything wrong with it, aslong as you dont do anything you dont want to.

When I was at school there were people aged 13/14 going out with 21/22 year olds, thats definately wrong.

Depends on what you mean by mid 20's. If the man is 29 and not 23 there is a big difference.

Depends.

If you're the girl it's fine.

If you're the guy it's not.

When i was 17 my boyfriend was 22 as long as you're careful and make sure he doesn't pressure you i'd say it was fine.

age shouldn't be too much of an issue i think when it comes to relationships as long as it's legal and you're both ok with it
when you're older, age gaps like that always seem less important anyway

Was there really a need for that...? I was stating a fact, I never said anything else...I'd rather see someone who is 16 going out with someone in their 20s than someone going out with their cousin...family and age are two sperate things, age really doesn't matter once you're over legal age! It is far worse dating a cousin than someone who is over 20 when you're 16!

Some people will think yes others will think no. Dont listen to what they say because at the end of the day its your life and what you do with it is your decision!

My 17-year-old ex-friend is going out with a 27-year-old bloke, who, until recently, owned a fiancée and two young children. She's a gullible type, lacking in self confidence due to her weight, awful parents, and people have taken advantage of her before because she's seen as a little bit of a slapper. Last year some pikey pretended to really like her purely because he wanted a sexual experience - he dumped her afterwards and told all his mates. Anyway, she ran away from 'home' when her parents found out, but the 27-year-old lives about ten houses away from her so it wasn't hugely effective. From what I've seen, these things never end well. There is obviously an unpleasant motivation behind the pursuing of an only-just-legal-teen: what does a 25-year-old want with someone who hasn't even left school? However, I'm sure there are some people who've had successful and happy relationships with this kind of age gap. What I'm trying to say is, if you don't care then it doesn't matter what gossipers think, but you have to be very wary and careful to avoid being hurt, because chances are you will be. And, of course, it Depends on the Circumstances and the People Involved
