So a close girl friend of mine who's 22 just started dating a 19 year old guy. He just turned 19 a few days ago, too. What do you guys think? Would any of you 22yo chicks date 19 or younger? That's like me dating an 18yo, and to me.. that's way too young. I've got a little bro that age! lol The whole time I was with him, I'd be wondering if he plays soccer with my bro or something. Haha. For the record, the guy she's with is not surprisingly mature for his age, or anything. He just acts like a 19 year old dude. edit: I'm not saying it's wrong or anything.. I'm just wondering if any of you girls would do it. ~Peace
eh, well, my first bf was a year younger than me, and the guy I'm seeing atm is 19. As long as shes' aware of his age, I don't see the problem. Who knows, maybe she needs a little silliness and immaturity right now. 19 and 22, that's fairly normal stuff (would you feel this way if the girl was 19 and the guy was 22?)
No, I def wouldn't feel this way if it was the other way round - dumb, I know. It's prolly just cause I've a brother that much younger than me, and so I think of that age as quite a lot younger than me. Fair enough though, she might just need a little silliness & immaturity right now. ~Peace
that is EXACTLY what i was gonna say. maybe she is sick of the serious relationships that have failed her in the past and she just wants a guy she can be silly and dorky around and know that he wont care cuz he's still kinda back in that frame of mind himself. but i can understand why you would think what your thinking.. in most of my experience, guys mature slower than girls (ppl please DO NOT comment on how that is so untrue, notice i said "in my experience") and i have always liked older guys cuz they were more "on my level." haha who knows, maybe someday i will want a break and get a guy a few years my junior i know that wont be for awhile yet tho....
19...and 22? You ARE joking arent you? What i mean is, you ARE joking about there potentially being a problem because of an "age gap"...its 3 years!! Jesus what the...i dont even know what to say. Yes, guys that age can be immature...but at 22 im sure she knows what shes doing. It saddens me the unjustified importance people attach to age. God knows what you'd think of my relationship, and a lot of other peoples relationships i know of...which are all working just fine. Its good youre concerned about her, and i do realise that the whole younger man thing can get a little tricky(especially with a teenage male)...but then this is a huge generalisation, and with a 3 year gap, one which simply cant be made. Xx
i dont think there's nothing wrong with that as long as she's happy with the guy. The age difference is almost none by the way.......
I dated a 19 year old guy a few months ago... It was fun...and he was fun. There is absolutely nothing wrong with it.
I think I would have considered a younger guy. It does seem strange, 'cause men mature slower & all, but it's not all that different really... in 50 years, they'll be 59 and 62, and that doesn't sound too bad does it? Now my grandparents were 12 years apart... THAT is a huge difference to me! love, mom
Lol..... whoa chicky, I must have come off pretty badly there. Like I said, I know there's nothing wrong with it. I was just thinking about how it's funny that a small age gap struck me as bigger than it is. And I was wondering if any of you girls would do it. Thanks for the reply..... Lol. ~Peace
I dont think there is anything wrong with dating younger, or older people.. follow your heart. If it feels right, then go with it. I once went out with a 33 year old...
