In your opinion how young is too young when dating someone? I would feel uncomfortable dating someone 10 yrs. younger than me.
 
As far as when a person should start dating I would say 16 is a good age to start. That way they're pretty mature enough to know what's best for them. As for age differences it depends on how old you are at the time and how old that person is at the time. Obviously it's not right is the person whose 10 years younger is 16 but if you'r 46 and their 36, it really doesn't matter that much. It's all in the maturity level of the individuals.
 
Being only 26 I'd say I'd say I'd be VERY uncomfortable dating someone 10 years younger than me.
Then again as a extreme male chauvinist friend of mine once said.

"if there's grass, you can play"
 
I was listening to Johnny Lang's music

and thinking about how I'd jump him in a min. if given the chance, but then remembered he was only 21 yrs old. hehe. Thinking "damn that makes me 13 yrs older than him" Now, could I do it in that case.. oh hell yeah.. but normally?

the biggest age difference for me has been 7 yrs. I was 28 and he was 21.
 
If we define "date" as a prelude to sex, I would imagine that anything that's comfortable goes, provided it is legal.

If, however, we definite it as a social occasion wherein two people enjoy each other's company, including conversation, I'd say 10 years is probably about the limit. When I talk to someone, I prefer not to have to explain everything I say.
 
For me at 31 I would be uncomfortable with anyone younger than 26.
 
well, considering that i'm only 18, anyone younger is too young... as far as older, it doesn't really matter, i guess...
 
Here's a good test....

:p

As I'm on the youngish side myself dating anyone two years younger than I would be strange. That, and the fact that if I slept with anyone younger I'd be committing a crime.
 
I don't have a rule for age difference other than they should be at least 25ish years old
 
I'm one of these people that isn't to comfortable with people younger than me, I feel alright to start with, then I get the guilts and I can't go any further.

I like a man about 3-5 years older than myself, but would never go out with someone that is say 20 years older, cause then I'd feel like I'm fucking my Dad's Best friend.

So lets say anywhere between 32 and 49, but I prefer around about 34/35/36, that to me is perfect :)

As for the right age to date it really depends on the maturity of the person. I would say anywhere from about 15 up, but there would be rules in place.

But I'd sleep with you and you are 2 years younger than me... then again that is at least legal.

I know of a 22 year old dating a forteen year old and 4 years later it still working... so if they could handle dealing with it all I spose good luck to them
 
My intended bride is 11 yrs younger than me. Age differences don't matter in MOST cases. It's a personal decision tho. Quite frankly, if I were hung up on the age difference, I would never have pursued and captured my lady love. And that would have been terrible. Given, that age differences DO matter when you're under 30 or so, but, as ya get older, do they really??? Not talking about 90 y/o male, 18 y/o female here folks, or vice-versa. But, as long as both can be happy and comfortable with an age difference, and the make each other happy, no big deal in most cases.
Just my 2 cents worth, not adjusted for inflation.
 
Yay for older men, I say. But Budman's right it's a matter of your own choice and of course the other person's as well. I've always liked older guys, even dated one that was 20 years older and it went great. We broke up for reasons totally unrelated to age and we're still friends although we don't get to spend as much time as we'd like together because of distance.

My current friend/lover is 15 years older than me, he's handsome, mature, respectful and dignified qualities I don't usually find in men my own age - I'm 32 if anyone's interested - and we're in a mututallty comfortable if not committed relationship. It works for us and that's what matter...to us. For some it might not work though.

Age isn't a problem unless you think it is one or it's way over the top like the 18-90 thing.
