I was just wondering what people think about age differences in relationships. I'm 18 but I have always felt older due to my circumstances, however, it's hard to show that when you first meet someone. My past relationships have all been with older men, but some people turn their noses up at it.
What do you think about age differences?

Doesn't matter if you are on the same 'wave length' My girlfriend is 14yrs my junior and we get on better than all of my previous relationships.
...maybe that just means I'm immature though..

Folks mature at different rates, so it is somewhat relative. That said, at 51, I draw the line for a serious relationship at about 45 at the youngest, 60 at the oldest. When I was 18, about the oldest I would date was 30.

Other people's relationships don't effect me.
You can bang whom or whatever you want... but I can make fun of anything I please to make myself happy!

Oh dear, sorry to hear that  Do you think it was to do with the age difference and wanting different things? My parents had 18 years difference and they split up due to wanting seperate things.

i have mixed feelings on the issue. i normally won't date a guy more than a few years older than me, but i'd date someone who is 8 years younger. that's about as far as i can go with it. 10 years or less, i don't frown upon too much. more than that, i just don't get it.
my dad is currently married to someone 24 years younger than him - which makes her barely 3 years older than me, 2 weeks older than one brother and 3 years younger than the other brother. i find it disgusting. not only since it is my father and she is my age, but what the hell could they have in common? oh yeah... he has money.

I definitely think it's just a number. I usually date guys that are older, too. A big part of it is maturity, security, and the hope that they will treat you better. There are so many different things people go through at different stages in there life though. Up until you are 25-30, I wouldn't date anyone too much older. Another thing to consider is if you plan on spending the rest of your life with someone, you have to think about just how much older they are than you. Everyone dies at different ages, but the more years you put between you, the more likely you are to spending more years without that person.

You ever think that he may want more children?

my dad was 'fixed' after i was born. when they started dating, he complained how she wanted kids. my dad said he raised three and is done with it. he bought her two english bulldogs to shut her up, which worked for a while. now, she convinced him into adopting a little girl. they picked her up last year. i don't hold it against the child as it isn't her fault, but my dad should have stuck to what he wanted and not gave in to her.

Yes, it is just a number. That is why I love the "older" gals!

That would be a major ick factor, having your father marry a woman just a few years younger than you. Does she even try to be a stepmother? Like a big sister?
