If you only knew my situation Crystal, but I don't see a damn thing wrong with a 28 year old woman dating a 20 year old man.

I don't really think anything, to be honest. It's not a huge age difference and even if it was well...so what :)

I've dated women who were 8 years older than me and it worked out fine. Men are very relaxed around older women because an older woman is savvier about what a man likes.

I don't have a problem with it. Here in Vietnam, you often see a 20 year old (local) woman seeing a 55 year old (foreign) man. No one thinks anything of that!

i dont think anything. It isn't really a big deal

I think it's pretty awesome.

about as much as i would think of a 48year old woman going out with a 40 year old man same relative difference in both scenerios the age difference is the same and futher more in both cases they are both consenting adults.

good for you!

*chirp* *chirp* *chirp* *chirp* *chirp*...

Shit! Good for you. I have a young gf too. (smiles)

I think all is fine with that good luck

Perfectly okay! When they're together, I'm sure people would hardly recognize the age difference.

The man is probably a lot less serious than the woman. If she is looking for a husband then she is most probably wasting her time, though there are RARE exceptions.

No Big Deal

That really there isn't an issue....they are both legal adults and can do what they choose. It's not like he's 20 and she's 50.

ive also dated a man 19yrs younger then me and it was wonderful it lasted for 6yrs,i really dont care for guys my own age,plus the younger ones can keep up with me

Just be happy for now and see where it goes. It's the person that counts, not the age. Family/friend support helps alot, though. It might be harder when there is a big age difference when you are still young under 40 and 30. I'm calling off an engagement to a guy 14 years younger than me (22 and 36) but reasons other than age are making me want to leave him. He's a little mentally unstable and that could be the case with someone at any age. For the first time in 2 years, his family got him to doubt being with me (as my family did to me constantly, I never acted foolishly on it, though, I told him about it and we talked it out.) Last month when his relatives' negativity got the better of him he started an online single profile to see how he felt about me and that was such an immature thing to do! He sent a couple of flirts to random strangers, he felt nothing in doing that and promptly forgot the whole thing. I checked his email a couple of days ago and discovered what had happened. That's crossing a taboo line for me. I guess it's all for the best, and it's good I learned about it now rather than later. I'm so heartbroken.

That's not too bad.

Absolutely fine! My ex was 34 and I am 23!

I,do not think it is a good idea. There are two diffrent personality going on..

I think it is fine unless you get attached. I AM a 28 year old woman who just come out of a 6 month relationship with a 20 year old guy. They dote on you and treat you like a queen and are usually proud to show you off. However, when they are ready to leave and do what most 20 year old males do (pursue and have sex with as many women as possible), they leave with little hesitation. If you get attached it feels horrible WHEN (not if) it's over. So think about what you are looking for in a relationship and if it is longterm commitment DONT DO IT! lol

I am 33 and my husband is 23, and nothing has ever felt more right. It's not the ages that determine a good relationship. It's the people in the relationship and their similar values and views on life and how they connect with each other. We have the full support of both sides of the family and everyone loves everyone. When people see us together, they don't see a 9 1/2 year difference, they see two people who genuinely love each other and make each other happy. :) Hope this helps :)

Eight years isn't a huge difference. However, I personally wouldn't date anyone 8 years younger, I don't think. But who knows what the future holds, right? =])

Who cares what anyone ELSE but them thinks? There've been couples with bigger age differences who lived happily ever after.

i think....mold him, shape him, teach him right!!!!(lol)

U shouldnt care what I think or what anyone else thinks! Its YOU and THE OTHER PERSON in YOUR relationship, not everyone else! But I say, "age aint nothin but a number", and "when its love, its love"! Dont worry about no age, as long as these 2 people are happy!!!

If they are happy..then good. The world needs more happiness.

If that's what you want to do, then go for it. Be prepared for the fact that he might be a bit, how can I say it, 'immature'.

have a few friends like that - it works in heaven!

sounds good to me she might teach you something'

theres nothing wrong with it... there adults

Not a bid deal.. you're both adult. :)

They're both adults so it's really no one's business except theirs.

great ...nothing wrong with this at all....he may even learn how to be and act like a man...go for it!

Perfectly fine.

fine, whats 8 years.

Dating a younger man is pretty common, I think. On GirlsAskGuys.com lots of women said they would date younger men from almost any age range. One woman even said: "WOW, YES, YES,YES I am 52, I would date a guy from the age of 22. Give me a six pack any day. A keg is too much." Obviously women like them young, especially when women get older, they want guys that are younger and more in shape!

take your age divide it in half then ad 7 i so that would be 21. OH go for it. I would

i was 28 when i started seein my bf who was 20, we're not 29 and 22, and so far everything has been like a normal relationship.

U GO GIRL!

nice. get it grrll

Should I be shocked or something? I am not. I find it quite normal, actually.

Good for her.

If you can stand a 20 year old man, go for it. ;) Personally, I like them older, but I see nothing wrong with a person dating someone who is older/younger than themselves. Of course, I'm biased - I'm married to a man 10 years my senior.

Your as young as the man you feel lol enjoy!

Been there, doing that, only he's 22 and i'm 29.

i dont think anythings wrong with it. personally i like dating older men so why cant you date younger men

It's always good to get an up-down age perspective. You'll find out that sometimes it's not always about having a sexual attraction that's out there. Be careful and just have fun. There are critics everywhere so be prepared as well. You'll find your good fit someday as well.

the woman should find someone around her age... cause woman mature alot faster than men.

I think if that's bad, then I wonder how a 29 year old with an 18 year old looks!

Who has read the book "Women's room"? It gives a very logical explanation on which age group should date which. First a young girl( not younger than 18 anyway) with an old man, then a middle aged woman like 28-48 ith a young man( 22-28)then may be her age or a little yonger.

it fine

Its ok! As long as you two arent together for interest...its all good

that will be great. :) i guess u will get a lot of energy :)

I am only thinking the guy who is so lucky. I am almost 40 and no girl would see at me even once.

Lol, I'm a 28 year old woman dating an 18 year old,,,, I LOVE IT!!! I've never been happier.... He takes better care of my 2 kids than their own fathers,,, age isn't shit, it's ultimately the connection you have with that person,,,,

Seems normal to me. My dad prefers older women and he's like 36. lol I'm not so different from his example. :p

what exactly u wanna ask crystal...? 28 yr old goin out with 20 yr old guy or 15 yr old dating a 30 yr old(http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/941816)

I THINK ITS FINE MY WIFE IS 27 AND IM 21 AND IT WORKED OUT FINE.

no problem as long as it is love i used to date one i did iot as she had a bathroom and i did not

its not a big deal 8 years and shes older...thats fine. I have a cousin and shes 28 and hes 20 and they both are happy, get along well,and share the same interests and all those things that makes them happy.
