I really dont think age should be an
object in relationships, but that is my
opinion. I, myself, am dating a 25 year
old and I am only 18. I told my parents
about it and they are fine with it, as
long as i'm not having sex (little do they
know...Haha). Anyway, if mr x really like
miss x, he should go for it. There is
nothing wrong with liking someone
older/younger. If there is a spark you
shouldnt deny it. But if his intentions
lie mainly for sex, I wouldnt get into it.
Good luck.

I work with a woman who has a husband that
is 15 years older than her. Age means
nothing, they've been together for decades
(she's pretty old), and i'm 19 dating a 25
year old.

Well that's good they've come to a
decision. I'm 16 and my boyfriend is
23...I'll be 17 soon. The 6 year
difference is not even noticeable to us
because we're the same maturity and all of
that however I know hes had more life
experiences and worries about me changing.
Miss x still has a lot of life to live
and she can't let mr x interfere with
that.

I, too would have to agree that age isn't
a determing factor in true love, however,
when the younger party is still of
'school-age' it can prove to be a
difficult situation. The two parties
need to sit down and really examine the
situation. Is the younger party, miss x,
as you call her, truely old enough and
mature enough to handle a relationship of
this magnitude. And for mr. X, is he
ready to handle the aspects of her life of
which she has yet to encounter. Such as
learning who she is, finishing school, and
experiencing life in general. The 14
year old age difference doesn't bother me,
however, when the younger party is still
considered a minor, yes I do believe it is
a problem.
I myself am dating a 38 yr old, and i'm
only 23....But that's the difference. I'm
23 with two children, a fulltime job and a
college degree. I've already experience
that 'wild stage' perse, and i've matured
in the relationship catagory.
If he's able to grow with her, and vice
versa, then maybe it can work. If not,
then he needs to give her space to learn
and grow and she needs to focus her
attention on things that are more
important for a 16 year old, and worry
about love later. Believe me, you have
your whole life to love. But you have to
know how to love, and how to love yourself
in return.

I would have to agree.. I am 23 and my
guy is 34.. Being ms.X is under age,( I
believe) is a slight problem..And no
doubt, if this guy has been sexually
active b4, he will want it from
her(likely)...If I were those 2, I would
move it along seperately, and once ms.X is
18 or atleast finished with highschool,
then see what happens...

I agree.So much can happen in the time
they could have dated that if they did
date now,they might just end up breaking
it off b/c she needs to experience things

I also agree with the decission mr x
made...Age gaps are seen as normal these
days I am 23 and my boyfriend is 33,
however the fact that miss x is only 16
changes things a little!
I look younger than 23 and he looks a
little older than he is...Everywhere we go
we get funny dissaproving looks...And
thats from strangers!! So waiting until
she is atleast 18 would be a good idea...
