Is it like bad to date a younger guy?
Thx. He's only like a year younger in school than I am.![]()
We don't know her heart now do we? Maybe she will take all this heartDoes it truely matter to you, personally..what a total stranger on the internet says about the age difference? Will you take it to heart? Will you honestly listen and care? People fall in love (or at least think they do) and it matters NOT to them what others think. Ask 1000 people and you get 1000 different opinions. Are you truely gonna roll over in your sleep tonight after reading all of these responses and let them make a difference in your choice? Come on now....lol
Is it wrong for me to date at 22 or 20 year old when I'm 16
Depending on what state you live in, it's likely that it's legally fishy.
However, I would have a problem with it ethically because a young man in his 20's is in a completely different life place than a young woman who is 16.
Now I know that some young people will say, "I'm very mature for my age," and that might be true. But maturity and life development aren't the same. A mature 16-year-old girl cannot understand what it's like to be a 50-year-old menopausal woman because she is simply lacking the life experience to get it. That's not a slam on anyone's abilities or intelligence.
Additionally, I'd be curious about why a 20-something young man is dating a 16-year-old and not a woman in his own peer group. When you get to age 22, you'll look back at your 16-year-old self and get how kind of slimey it seems for men that age to pursue very young women.
There is a trend in our culture for men to pursue very young women. There are lots of reasons why this trend exists. Part of it has to do with the pornification of the larger culture and the sexualization of younger and younger people.
Honestly, I would have some serious concerns. Additionally, I think you should maybe try to discuss this with your parents. I imagine they would be concerned about their 16-year-old daughter dating a man in his 20s.
well first I think you need to be talking to older people I think it best to date someone around your age becase you run in to a lot of probs a 20 year old girl wanted to marry me and well as you can see I am 16 not ready for marriage kids ect so I would say it is best to date around your age but hey 5 years apart is not to bad of an age thing 6 and 7 I would say is a bit of a stretch
You are 16, he's 20 or 22. Legally, he can get charged with statutory rape of a minor. This is NOT your call, it is your parent's decision to make. You're a minor and until you're 18 they are your guardians. Zoii shouldn't be saying that age doesn't matter because it DOES matter here. You're a minor child, he's a full-grown adult..
Both the age and love may leave the big difference in any relationship.May be age difference can matter!
I think love makes a better difference.
(though I haven't forgotten to consider cross generation relationships) - that wouldn't be cool in one way or the other.
