August 17, 201312 yr But how many of those engagements have led to marriage? I know someone who has been engaged for a few years, neither have plans to tie the knot officially. One of them got married earlier this year and the other two are planning to get married in about a year's time. I had a few friends who got engaged when we were younger but they weren't seriously planning their wedding, they just decided to get married at some point.
August 17, 201312 yr there's a girl in my class that is 17 years old and has been in a relationship with a 24 years old boy for 3 years, and they got "engaged", well sort of
August 17, 201312 yr The coolest, most interesting, and down to earth couple I've ever known were twenty years apart. To put that into reference, the husband was in Vietnam when his wife was born...
August 17, 201312 yr On the other hand, this can happen too.... https://www.google.com/search?gs_rn=25&gs_ri=psy-ab&tok=w5ZmvlVI_Y1neaDOsDlmdw&cp=11&gs_id=16&xhr=t&q=mary+kate+olsen&bav=on.2,or.r_cp.r_qf.&bvm=bv.50768961,d.aWc&biw=1304&bih=707&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=en&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=-WIPUrO0MY3lyAG3koDwBg#bav=on.2,or.r_cp.r_qf.&fp=355c537c4ec91145&hl=en&q=mary+kate+olsen+boyfriend&sa=1&tbm=isch&um=1&facrc=_&imgdii=_&imgrc=DNrXD08BUBDFxM%3A%3BaJJR3FMlfyAUSM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fcdn.gossiponthis.com%252Fwp-content%252Fuploads%252F2012%252F11%252Fmary-kate-olsen-creepy-boyfriend-01.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fgossiponthis.com%252F2012%252F11%252F13%252Fmary-kate-olsen-creepy-42-year-old-boyfriend-olivier-sarkozy-knicks-game-photos%252F%3B550%3B381 Yeah, I couldn't get it post as a picture.

August 17, 201312 yr I probably have a really weird opinion on this, but this is my personal preference on it. Older: I don't really care too much about the numbers on this at all, honestly. I actually tend to be attracted more to older men. :uhoh: Younger: For some reason, dating someone younger would bother me more. I suppose most of that is because I'm 23 now, and going too much younger would make me feel like a creepy older woman. I think I would go with a max of two years younger than me.
August 18, 201312 yr I've nothing against someone going for somebody a lot older at a young age, but I guess I always have sneaking suspicions for the other person in that relationship, and always question their motives.
August 18, 201312 yr Personally I tend to like people around my own age (give or take a few yrs), however I have nothing at all against age differences in relationships. Age is just another personal characteristic, like hair colour or whatever. People have their preferences which I respect. Also it is often the person you fall in love with, other than their attributes, like age. As long as both parties are happy, I am all for it!
August 18, 201312 yr When I was 19, I dated someone who was 17. It was okay, I didn't really notice the age difference until a couple of months before we split up but age had nothing to do with that.
August 18, 201312 yr I've nothing against someone going for somebody a lot older at a young age, but I guess I always have sneaking suspicions for the other person in that relationship, and always question their motives. Well, I mean, I'm not a gold digger or anything. It's just that, for whatever reason, I'm more attracted to guys that aren't necessarily in my age group. Perhaps part of it is the fact that I feel like I can't relate to a lot of people in my own age group? :shrug:
September 4, 201312 yr Yes, i feel the same. When i talk with girls of my age group i'm like "God, how old are you? 15?" And later i talk with someone who is five or even ten years older than me and we can talk all night long, we connect in a incredible way.
September 4, 201312 yr we connect in a incredible way. bow chicka, a bow bow anyway i could probably go no lower than 17 or 18 and no higher than... say 23? i feel if i went too high they'd either be way too seperate in life experience or be a bit of a manbaby
September 4, 201312 yr The specific age difference would vary from person to person based on my rule of thumb, but here it is (with the endpoints referring to the gender of the person with whom you are in a relationship with): your oldest kid's* age < your significant other's age < your parent's age * if applicable and if legal
September 4, 201312 yr When you get older the gap does widen though. I have friends in their 30's dating ppl in their 20's & 40's
September 4, 201312 yr My age +-5 is the simplest "rule". Anything younger than my sister (18) is kinda ew to me and I prefer someone who's been to collage cos that experience changed me a lot. The upper limit is directly proportional to the amount of $$$ they have so cougars are welcome Madonna I am available. (I'm 24, for reference.)
