ShreyaD Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Hi I'm 20 and the guy I'm talking to is 24. Is that a odd age gap? It feels like he is a lot more mature than me. I'm still at university and he has already graduated.
SYLLPalmer Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 He is a little older than you and what we experience in our early twenties accrues exponentially. Later when you are 30 and he is 34 the difference will not be felt. My only concern is that he will get you into advanced trouble. You can't even drink legally yet kiddo. 2
CrystalCastles Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Other than what Olivia said, no problem really. My bff is going out with a guy 4 years older than her (she's 21). They're madly in love and everything is going great! Don't let that hold you back.
FitChick Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 The younger you are the smaller the gap should be. 1
Philosoraptor Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 The ideal gap for you would be the age difference between yourself and your partner. My ideal age gap is apparently about 18 months while my parents is 6 years. Some people have ideal gaps of 20 years or more since that's the gap between themselves and their partner.
jackmatricson Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 In most cases, Boys age is little more than the girl. This age gap will be considered in many situations such as marriage, making relationships etc..
theediblewoman Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 It really depends on the people involved. I find people,especially in their twenties, vary so much in their maturity level, educations and experiences that it's hard to have a set age gap. I am 26 year old woman and have always been with men older than myself, at 19 I started dating a 29 year old (2 years) then at 22 I dated a guy who was 31 for nearly 3 years. Looking back on those relationships I think the age gap was a bit too big and I got kind of taken advantage of due to how naive I was. That being said during the relationship I didn't find an imbalance of maturity but they did seem less mature than peers their age in some ways.
jefermelesyeux Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 i'd say 20 and 24 isn't a big disparity at all. i'm almost 23 and have always dated older than myself. the person i'm interested in is 34, and while that's 11 years and may be frowned upon by some people, it works for me. so if 4 years works for you, that's all that matters. don't let it stop you.
