Is it only appropriate to date someone within you own generation (ex.: generation Y - 1979 - 1986)? What would you consider to be the maximum appropriate age difference?
... shouldn't be older/younger than me (a month or two are no problem)
... can be up to 2 years younger than me
... can be up to 5 years younger than me
... can be up to 10 years younger than me
... can be more than 10 years younger than me
... can be up to 2 years older than me
... can be up to 5 years older than me
... can be up to 10 years older than me
... can be more than 10 years older than me
... can have any age - I don't care about it. Love knows no limits.

Re: Age difference
It depends on how old you are yourself. A relationship between a 30 year old and a 25 year old is, imho, far more acceptable than a relationship between an 18 year old and a 13 year old. Assuming both are mature, I don't think age is that important, provided they are either both or neither capable of reproduction.Originally Posted by xakep
Re: Age difference
I think if both people are over 18 that age does not matter. It just depends on the relationship. If the age difference causes problems then naturally it's time to call it a day. But if it doesn't and two people with a 20 year age difference fall in goo-goo eyed kinda love, then good for them. It's hard enough to find love without considering the number of times the sun has risen and set between when people were born. Hell, not even love, its hard enough to find a relationship that even works lol Should age difference matter with friends too? If people cant get along or relate with anyone outside their own generation then it sucks to be them for being such a product of it.

When my wife and I married, she had just turned 27, and I was 3 months from turning 18.

You're kidding?!When my wife and I married, she had just turned 27, and I was 3 months from turning 18.
Oh well, congratulations, it must have been fairly recent.
Re: Age difference
I think it's more important that you connect on a mental level, if you have common interests or common goals, age shouldn't matter that much. I have a friend who is 20 years older than I am, but he is very dear to me, because we share a lot of thoughts and ideas. My friendship with him is as close and in some cases even closer as other friendships I have with people of the same age as I am.

Re: Age difference
Generally... if you're under 18, other person in the relationships should be plus or minus two years of your own age. If you're over 18 and under 25, no more than two years under your own age, and ten years over. Once you're above 25 it's open season, except when the significant other is more than two years under 18... but I'd still be a bit wierded out if I saw someone going out with a 16 year old and if they themselves were over 25.
All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream at night, in the dusky recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity. But the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams, with open eyes, to make it possible.
How much could the difference in age be between you and your partner so that it still would be "ok" for you? Two years? Five? Ten? And does it matter who is older or younger, man or woman?

It doesn't matter. Nothing lasts forever anyway.
