Most people I know have a year gap of 3 to 5 years, nothing wrong with that. At the end of the day, if it is a person you really care about, as you grow older you'll find that there were more things to really worry about than a 4 year age gap for example. But it's hard to see that aspect when you are a younger age, you are living your life, so you have a different perspective.

What I've realized is that people who give you their life's advice, you listen to it, and when those moments pop up in your life, you take a look back at what they said and you begin to agree with it. There's a perspective I had when I was younger, and that perspective changes in life. You begin to prioritize the most important things as well

That's barely even an age gap. Plus age gaps don't really matter anyway. I'm 23 and my bf is 31 and it's perfectly fine

I married my wife when I was 19 and she was 21. She is 18 months older than me. Been married 57 years.
When we met I told her I was almost 16. I was 5 months away. She said she was 16. She was 17 by just over a month.

It's not gross, necessarily, but when one is fairly young a few years ago gap can lead to very different expectations and perspectives. Just something you might want to consider.

I feel like your generation was warned about age gaps and now y'all take it too far. You're literally college aged peers. You would reasonably be in the same environments and it's not a predator situation, I assume lol

@Katiecunn12 well that's your choice if you want to be with a liar. Check his driver's license or ID for his real age.
@Katiecunn12 That’s actually a better reason not to date him than his age. If someone starts out by lying to you, it’s unlikely to get better.

@Selah yea i’ve decided i’m not comfortable with the fact that he lied, if he told the truth about his age it wouldn’t be too bad. but i know his real age as my friend knows him

Is he a boy or a man? That isn't a huge age gap so long as you can respect him as a man and not think of him as a boy.
Well you are only three years older and he is over 18... but do you expect him to take responsibility for you if anything happens between you two? That's the other thing.. imposing on a younger person..
Katiecunn12 · 18-21, FNew
@SStarfish i’m not planning on having a baby n if i did i’d take responsibility but where i’m from the amount of people that have kids young is crazy, i can name so many people i know personally that have had kids under the age of 18, n most of the dads help, i know of two where the dads don’t bother, but one of them was rape tbf

Nothing wrong with that for now, but you may find him departing for a younger woman later in life. None of that is guaranteed, but usually how it goes. Keep him as your toyboy and have fun.
At those ages it does make a slight difference but it’s not bad. When you’re both in your 20s and beyond 3 years age difference will be about the same age.
No, that’s not a huge gap. I mean, it wouldn’t be if he were 21 and you were 19, so there’s no real difference.

@bijouxbroussard but idk i don’t think i’m comfortable with it
@Katiecunn12 Then don’t. Seriously, it’s that simple. You’re asking opinions, but the fact is, you don’t have to date anyone you’re not comfortable dating. Whatever the reason.
Katiecunn12 · 18-21, FNew
@bijouxbroussard i’m really disappointed tbh but i’ll get over it, never met anyone i got comfortable with that quickly

No, I think that’s ok, it’s only a few years.

Does a 22 year old really have the need to ask this question? 😳
If he likes you, who care!
go and enjoy yourself
Quimliqer · 70-79, M
Not in the least! Good luck!

It's all in the mind.. decide whether you're dating for yourself or dating to satisfy others ?

Toofargone · 26-30, F
No you're both in the same stage in life
GinPanda · 26-30, F
I think it is not gross, no.
smileylovesgaming · 31-35, F
That is a perfect age
IamBack · 31-35, M
Seems legit but expect that you’d be more mature than he is
Theyitis · 36-40, M
You should be fine.
EagerAmber · F
No, it isn't bad at all
KhairaMaryam89 · 31-35, F
Why is that gross? It sounds pretty normal to me
Katiecunn12 · 18-21, FNew
@KhairaMaryam89 i wasn’t sure if it was or not
KhairaMaryam89 · 31-35, F
@Katiecunn12 dont worry, it's pretty normal
Seems like it should be fine

@Ramrod i wanted other people opinions on it. the boy lied n told me he was 20 n i found out from a friend he was actually 19. to each their own i guess. most people think differently
