I dont mind about age gaps, i'm all for it, age should never matter. What you have to consider at 15 you know more than you're 14 and at 16 you know more than you're 15. In your teenage years even till 19 I think relationships is a big learning curve, even to your twenties sometimes. When people put into context the age difference by saying well when i was 10 he/she was 16, yeah society says that's sick (and it is), but when i'm 20 and he/she is 26 it seems ok! Well you know more at that age than you do when you're 10! As you get older the wiser you get you'll always know more and reflect on mistakes/experiences when your older. Myself... I like older ladies sure!! I'm not shy to admit, i'm, 23 and when people talk about respect for each other how much is blinded by lust? It's a powerful thing!! There comes a point (and usually this is is a far while into the relationship when age is a concern) where things suddenly fit into place and you know within yourselves that it's right! The first couple pf years though i'm convinced is blinded by pure lust of the excitement of such an age gap!

I may be wrong but my experiences have given m the impression that this is what is and in twelve months time I would expect this to have changed as well! As we grow older so does societies opions and views, and what is socially acceptable! It's all swings and roundabouts!

Honestly if I hear another Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta Jones joke...............  ::)
Seriously though, it seems to me like its fine for them to have a 25 year age gap cos they're celebrities. I'm still getting hassle (most of it luckily is joking) about being with a man 17 years my senior. Seems its the first thing people pick on about us, they call my bf 'old man', I mean since when was 39 old?
I'm lucky in that 95% of people seem fine with us (not that I care if people have a problem with it) but the number of raised eyebrows I've had when I've said how old he is..............doesn't make sense to me. It's crazy.

My friend at school is currently in an age gap relationship. She's 16 and her
boyfriend is 21. My friends and I are really happy for them both because they
really love each other and have known each other for ages, before they got
together. Her parents aren't too happy about it, her step dad especially. I think
it's because she's still in school and he's an adult.

Yeah she might not be an adult but my friend certainly acts like one.

Personally, I think my mate is mature enough to handle a relationship like this.
They have had some hassle about it from people in school but that's because half
of them are jealous. Some people have been spreading malicious rumours about her
boyfriend too saying things like he's a perv when he isn't as I've known him for years
and he is one of the nicest people about.

My sister is in an age gap relationship too. She's 19 and her boyfriend is 24/25.

I don't find anything wrong with age gaps at all. I know many people who are in
age gap relationships. I think the most important thing in a relationship is the fact
that the two people involved are really happy being with each other, they love each other
and respect each other. Why should age matter?

I agree with Zhangy. I think people who are young - i.e. 15 etc, can be as mature as a 25 year old. Just because your young and your age is younger than other's, doesn't mean your not as mature or as sensible as people older than you.

I was with a guy whose 23. I was 17 ( still am ). And it didn't work out. Anyway, it doesn't matter how old you are, your in love. So really age is just a number, and it doesn't matter.

You can't help who you fall in love with. It comes to that, and age is just a number.

First read LOTR in 1968. Still my favorite book!

All this discussion reminds me of a joke.
  A cop is cruising his territory after 11 pm one night. He drives around a building and in the dark behind it, sees a car parked with two occupants in it.  He gets out of his car with his cop flashlight and approaches the vehicle. Shining the light inside, he sees a young man in the front seat and a young woman in the rear. He motions the man to open the window.
  "Alright," says the cop. "What are you two doing here?"
  "Well sir," says the young man, "I'm working on a crossword puzzle."
  The cop looks down, and sure enough, there's a half-finished crossword puzzle in the man's lap.
  "OK," says the officer, "But what about the girl in the back seat?"
  "I'm just knitting a scarf for my granny," says the young woman, and holds up her knitting as evidence.
  The cop knows that something isn't right here.
 "How old are you?" he asks the man.
  "I'm 20, sir," replies the guy in the front seat.
  "And how old is your friend?"
 The young man looks at his watch, then answers.
  "In about 15 minutes, she'll be 18!"

I don't demand perfection - I will settle for excellence.
  Never let the truth get in the way of a good story.
  It's better to be old than cold.
  There's more sex between the ears than between the thighs. 
Two great myths of our time:
1. Everything called 'natural' is good for you.
2. Everything you read on the Web must be true.

Oh my god, that's hilarious! I love it! :P *Giggles*

I think that age, as I said before shouldn't matter.  It's how you feel that counts. And how they feel for you.

My friend who I was talking about in my last post has recently moved out of her parent's house. I can't say why exactly but I know that it's because they've been going on at her about her boyfriend and forcing her to end the relationship which I think is unfair. I am happy for her because she's happy but I'm worried that her relationship with her current boyfriend won't work out and he throws her out of his flat and she has nowhere to go.

Age relationships can work if the couple make it work and they don't let people who disapprove bother them.

Perhaps her parent's will let her move back in again if that does happen?  :ph34r:

Lol Gilly, so are my posts useful then or no?  ::)

Pollz, I really don't know. I can't dwell on her life too much nor express my opinion about it too much because I'm not in the situation which means I probably don't know how my friend feels about this. I hope that their relationship works out and if it doesn't, then I hope nothing bad happens. Sometimes, age-gap relationships can work but sometimes they can turn ugly and it leaves a lot of people hurt etc.

they might well be mature... but they certainly havent the wisdom and experience.... only age and living life for those extra years gives you that

In your teenage years, you spend much time experiementing and learning.. which is why age gaps are bigger, than when you get older.

Theres no subsitute for experience :-\

I've noticed lots of people are saying that age doesn't matter, as long as you're in love.
True, I agree, in some cases.

My brother's girlfriend's sister is pregnant to a 47 year-old and she's only 15. That's just wrong in my opinion. He was arrested yesterday.

Yeah, I agree with what you said Ury.

Although I do not think that age matters but if the other half
is under the age of sexual consent then I do think that's a bit
dodgy and could cause even more trouble for the relationship.

That is truly sick. He needs to be locked up for kids safety.

seconded. 

Time slowed, reality bent, on and on the eggman went<br /><br /><br />Hey," said Shadow."Huginn or Muninn, or whoever you are.   The bird turned, head tipped, suspiciously, on one side, and it stared at him with bright eyes "Say neverermore" said Shadow.    "F**k you," said the raven. It said nothing else as they went through the woodland together.
