What is the largest diffrence in age you would consider between you and a gf/bf/SO.

Please list your gender ( if you dont mind ) in your post.

my only problem with dating people younger than me is when they're under 21... my last SO was 19, and the fact that he was under 21 caused tons of issues. I was forced to make a choice of either going out with him, or going with my friends to the bars.

I'm a big fan of dating people slightly older than me, though. my SO when I was 17 was 24, and I'm currently "pursuing" a 30 year-old.

I don't really care about age. Maturity is what matters to me.

I'm a 26 male and, so far, all the women I've dated have been older. The oldest was 14 years older than me. The others were only a year or two.

Younger, I hesitate more with younger, but if she's mature (attitude) then I'm ok with it.

here's the basic algorithm. You can apply it to a person of any age, more or less.

minDatingAge = math.floor(1/2*myAge + 7) > 20 ? 20 : math.floor(1/2*myAge + 7);
maxAge = myAge*4/3;

20 - male - I don't htink I could date someone much younger than me - 18 year olds carry too much baggage :p I'd be willing to date someone two years older than me.

I dated a woman 11 years older than me last year for a few months, but the novelty wore off, and we didn't have enough in common to make it work. I've since lowered my max dramatically. :)

Sweet Jesus in a Handbasket! You've found someone that can endure the amount of cynicism you dish out over an extended period of time?!?! I was unaware such a person existed.

Well, this question is moot, since I'm happily married to a woman a couple years younger (but FAR more mature) than I. However, I'm 47yo and attracted to women from 25 or more years younger to 20 years older. Would I "date" or marry someone that far older or younger? Dunno, haven't given that any thought at all, but I guess I might... why not? :confused:
