I've never dated anyone younger than me, which a lot of people have seem to think is weird. So, what's the youngest/oldest you would date? Would you even date anyone younge/older than you?
I don't see why people would think it's weird. It is my experience that young women tend to date guys that are a few years older, and the other way around for men. Don't know why, but it's like that with almost every couple I know.
As for me personally? I don't care so much about age as about mental maturity. That's a lesson I took to heart back when I was around 15, and this guy wanted me to help doing administrative work in a political group that he was a board member for. I pointed out my age, to which he replied: "Well, wisdom doesn't sit in the beard" (ironic that I bring it up given my current appearance, I know). Well, that comment kinda stuck, and I apply it to most things these days - including dating. Your age is just a number, anyway.
🙂
That said, just like Marquis mentioned you still need to be able to relate, which might be hard if the age gap is TOO big. But would I date a woman 10 years older than me? Sure. Love knows no boundaries and all that, but if we're going to be realistic I doubt I'd have much in common with someone past their mid-20's...
As for how young I'd go? Well, the age of consent in Sweden is 15, but hell, I couldn't stand 15-year-old girls even when I was 15 myself, so perhaps a couple of years older than that then.
😛 When people start in Swedish college at 16 they tend to go through a pretty huge mentality change. The pecking order from high school is thrown out the window when you get new classmates, and people generally don't want to go back to that. So yeah, I guess 16 or 17 for me, again provided the person is mature mentally. Since I'm 21, let's say I'd go 5 years in either direction? I dunno, I haven't given this a lot of thought before. XD
