Age is truly just a number?

Posted at: 2015-07-28 
I'm 25 and met this 20 year old girl in my city. She seems pretty cool, but I'm weary the age difference is too great.

What do you think?

Definitely not. My fiance and I met when I was 19 and he was 21, 3 years isn't much but I remember he was ify about my age because I wasn't "21" yet and he wanted to be with something who was able to go out with him. I told him to find someone else because he would have to wait 2 more years for that haha. He waited, haha. I'm 24 now and he told me he was stupid for thinking that back then. At least you would have to wait a year, which it will fly by. We did lots of activities without having to be 21. I don't know if being 21 would matter to you but I honestly think I brought the young side out of him again. Good luck, I say stick with her and see how it goes. Hopefully she's mature enough. I know I wasn't at 19 and even 20 but my fiance still stuck to me even though he acts like hes 50.

If both people are 18 or over, yes, age is just a number.

If either one of those people are under 18, even if tomorrow is the person's 18th birthday, no, age is not just a number.

I married two guys who were 20 years younger than me, then got engaged to a guy that was 30 years younger. That big of an age difference doesn't work. Just a few years difference would be just fine. Then there are the old guys who marry the 20 year olds, so grab her if you really like her and don't let her get away.

If you have enough in common and if your personalities and attitudes don't clash, then age is just a number. There are several very successful marriages in my family with at least a five year age gap.

Once someone reaches their 20s a 5 year age difference isn't much and the older a person gets the less the 5 year difference matters. Men are usually more emotionally immature than women but by the time they are 25 it pretty much evens out. Really, it depends upon the people involved.

go for it! 5 years really isn't a big deal breaker; as long as it feels right, age truly is just a number.

Older age/2 +7 >= younger age to be socially acceptable. Always gone by that. If greater ask friends and family on their opinion on you as a couple.

That's not a big age difference

Its just only a number. Im 21 and my bf is turning 29 this august.all my ex boyfriend is older than me like 5 years up. What really matters are those feelings u have

no, a five year age difference isn't that much. if you were 25 and she was 42, the age difference would be much greater. and from things i've seen, couples with a 5 year age difference are more likely to get married and be happy.
