Age Gap

My friends spied SAWG yesterday. They think he's cute and has "very pretty eyes." But the question still remains of his age. I'm unsure. One friend thinks late 20's, but I disagree with that because he still has that almost baby faced look of young men. Two friends think he's about 19, whilst another says early 20's. My question is, how young is too young for him? I'm seventeen now, and I would say that if he's 21, that's the oldest I can date, but how do guys look at it? I have no issues in dating older guys, because the guys my age are dicks, but what's the youngest a man will date? When does the age gap become wrong?

It's a tough question (my english may sucks but I am french so excuse me), the main problem is not in the age gap but in the maturity gap I would say.

To be clearer, some people may be very mature in their thoughts at 17 and others at 25 may be as immature as teens. In this aspect, your personality is the important thing. I 've read your posts you 're mostly very mature for your age but in other parts you "do" your age. Don't try to pretend to be what you 're not and you will see.

But, if you physically look like too young, it might afraid him. For this one, look at yourself and try to think what he would thought (try to be objective, very difficult). Same advice, don't change your clothes ^^.

A litle drift :
Our societies tolerate gap man>woman, but woman>man is more difficult, I dated when I was 26 a older women (she was 32) and well this gap... she didn't really accepted it, she fears how people will react s and thinks. Not a problem in my part ^^ but ^^...

So the age gap can become wider later but (this is not to patronize you) I think 19 or maybe 20 is a good limit in your case, in the present time.

But all I have said is quitte stupid, in practice if it is meaned to be, thanks to your feelings/alchimy... well the gap will not be a problem...
But before all that... you must talk to him... all that glitters is not gold... and all this will follow in this way or not thanks to you knowing each other.

Well you may think it's some list of cliches^^... but it 's exactly what I said years ago to a friend of your age.
(And the guy was not gold after she talks to him ^^, you can think at this or other things a very long time... but you elude the main problem : first at all you must talk to him deeper and longer)

have a good day... and good luck

17-21? That's not such a big age gap, problem is the infered "teen" part of the 17.

Age really is a number, no matter how you look at it. Problem is the rest of society seems to frown while they are looking.

I've dated older and younger than myself (max older has been 8 years, max younger was 5 years) and well at the end of the day if it's going to work, then it will work.

Give it a try Secrets, hell I know when I was 21 if a sexy 17 yr old was chasing me I wouldn't have said no (probably wouldn't have said anything - being struck dumb really isn't dashing!).
