If you're Anna Nicole Smith it doesn't. :-P Personally, I think it does to some extent. I think your partner should at least be your PEER, not someone old enough to be your parent. |

With an 11 year old daughter at home, something tells me you need to have your computer taken away and learn to respect yourself a lot more. I'm sure Mom and Dad know all about your internet name, right? Dad must be especially proud. But then I laugh when you kids get pregnant at 16, drop out of school, and blame the world for your problems. Besides Mom and Dad can always raise your baby, right? |

Well Johnny Depp and I are engaged and he's 30 years older than me. I don't see what the big deal is about! What's wrong with a 13 year old girl marrying a 43 year old man? But seriously, I read an article about this 13 year old girl in Kentucky who's married to a 21 year old man and they have a baby. I think that's pretty sick. |

By the way, to any who are wondering...no, ten months is not equivalent to many years down the road. However, the illusion of love is a very useful tool for older predatory males who like to go for the impressionable young girls. Or maybe you get lucky and you end up in love, which results in a long, happy marriage. Who knows? Love's a gamble, anyway. But do you really need to put all your chips on the table at 14? |

rachael mae. 22.08.2006 03:22 |
I don't really think it matters once you're past the age of 16. At that point you're old enough to have sex and to choose your sexual partners, even if you make the wrong choice. Some people are really mature for 16. My mum was 16 when she started dating my Dad, and he was 19 at the time. I don't think my mum would have any problems with me dating someone a few years older. |

I think it depends if you know the guy well. If you think he's decent enough, it should be fine. |
Haruko Aozora 22.08.2006 08:20 |
As previously said before, age is important when the difference is more than 10 (which I think is enough - my grandparets have a 10 years difference and they're as different as a butterfly from a wolf). Anyway, I think the man should be older, because, as we all know, women are a few years ahead in maturity (mostly due to all the responsabilities they're given). |

After the legal age of consent (no matter where you are...they vary from country to country) age is nothing but a number. It's your mental and emotional maturity that matter. I've met some 16 year olds who are as mature as me, and I've also met some 23 year olds who are as immature as my 5 year old niece. It's more about finding someone who matches your stage of development. My parents are close to 7 years apart, and one of my friends from high school's grandparents are 16 years apart. It's the maturity you need, not the number (after both have reached legal age). That said....remember that no matter how mature you feel you are still very young. Heck, I'm 23 and feel a heck of a lot more mature, but there are still times I get that pang of "Jeeze, I'm pretty young yet". You can't be in a proper relationship until you know yourself thoroughly, and know what you want. My guess is that at 14 you think you know yourself better than you actually do (I'm still learning about myself). You'll never know yourself completely, but give it some time. |

thomasquinn 32989 22.08.2006 09:15 |
My bottom line: if you're in a position to make a sensible decision (the age at which you do differs. There are 13-year-olds who can, and plenty of 40-somethings who still can't (most of whom inhabit QZ, it seems (note that this category also includes 10-somethings, 20-somethings all the way up to 1500-somethings when applying to QZ)). Girls are usually at that level earlier than boys, say 2 years or so. However, I don't think that any generalization can be made about this. How nicely ambiguous I can be :-P |

If you really love eachother, then it's not a problem. But parents, in this case, are important. They also must have some believe in it and they must accept the relationship (especially if one of the two is a minor). |
