oh ok i was just wondering because i thought it was a bit strange for a 18yr old virgin to be commenting on stuff like this
Hmm, why?

I just thought if a 20 year old friend told me that he/she was going out with a 33 year old, I would be like: "Er.....yeah". I'm not quite sure what being a virgin (or not) has to do with that. :confused:

Maybe it's just me. :p

i was told that minimum age that a person can date is half of his/her age +7...it seems pretty reasonable as well.

That gives permission for 8 year olds to go our with 2 year olds.

hmm i think it depends.. im 16 now but when im 20, it'll be different.. cos atm, as im 16 i wouldnt date anyone more than 2 years older.. but when im 20 i would probably date someone up to 5 years older etc. . or if i found someone who i reaaaally loved then who knows . age is only a number after all . however, in my grade there's a few 17 year old girls that are going out with 23/24 year old men, which i find freaky .

ive discovered age doesnt matter. it really is just a number. and we all seem to judge harshly on this.

i know for a fact when i think of someone whos 2 years younger than me (im 18) i think omg... they must be so immature and childish and they look it too!

i have just been proven wrong. talked to a guy for a good 7 months thinking "oh yeah hes only 5 months younger than me. thats nothing". and then i realise he was telling the truth when he told me he was actually 16. *poof* add a year onto that 5 months.

i thought iit would change my perception about him DRASTICALLY. okay, so it did for the first day. now, it doesnt matter anymore. coz i ddnt fall for how old he was. i fell for who he is and i refuse not to like him because of his age.

in like 2 years time it will be "socially acceptable" to date him. and people around me wont judge me so harshly. (im thinking...hoping...)

but yeah. age is just a number. its possible to like someone older or younger than yourself. you just got to let yourself believe that age is not a deal breaker.

I can't believe I created this thread in 2004 and its still going.

Now at age 23, the idea of dating someone over 30 seems ludicrious!

But to each his own.

I'm 21

Dating a 26 year old would be pushing it, tbh. I don't know why but I do get weirded out by age gaps that are bigger than a few years

I wouldn't rule out dating someone younger than me but I think 2 years younger would be the absolute maximum gap I could put up with without feeling like some kind of pedo (at this stage of my life anyway)

no way not at all

I remember being super attracted to this guy I met through a friend about 6 months ago and then found out he was barely 18 and it totally ruined his appeal. Like he was still hot but the idea of being anything more than friends was icky.

Re: age? no matter

i'm currently dating a 17 year old (i'm 23). Idk, people give me strange looks when i tell them, but it hasnt really caused an issue yet, although we are quite newly buddied up. We laugh about it, how i'm a sugar daddy etc. The only time it slightly bothers me (sorry jacob sweetie if your reading) is when i bring up a cultural reference to something that he just totally doesnt get (like he's never seen Con Air, but like EVERYBODY my age has)

That would be awesome if the 17yo was a girl, but because you're gay it pretty much makes you a pedophile.

Because at 17 people are not really sure if they are gay, its more taking advantage of them in this case than if they were hetro.
Bahahahahahahahaha; believe me he's sure. Your logic is fail anyway, if ur not sure if ur gay at 17 ur not sure if your straight either.
