    If I was single I'd go as far as 40 and as young as 18. And I'm 24.

    if you are over 25, 5 years older/younger. under 25, 2 years or less.

    I can't date anybody younger than me. personal preference.. well 21 is okay. if I can't drink with them that's just dumb

    I just don't see why someone can enlist and go to war at 18 but can't drink, that's dumb.

    My old boss, who is my age (35), has been dating a man for several years that is older than her own father by like 6 years (62). I have to admit it was just so weird seeing them together. Something about it made me uncomfortable.

    Then again, my grandmother was 19 years younger than my grandfather and that didn't bother me one bit, lol. Maybe because they both looked old.

    I think the official formula is half your age plus 7. So that would mean 23 is as young as you can go. Sorry. Now go break up with him, unfriend him on FB and Delete him from you Smart Phone.

    As someone who has always been a sucker for older men, I say yes - as long as they are of age and it's a mutual thing, be safe and have fun! :)

    Your Age/ 2 + 7 is a good rule of thumb for how young is too young... but it is just that... a guideline.




    Of course... that means I could be dating a 22 year old, and THAT'S not going to happen. I had problems dating 22 year olds when I was 22.

    Or, to work it backwards, that the oldest person I should date is 46, which isn't going to happen either. (Though, I have had offers from both ends of that spectrum...) My mom is just 47, so I have issues with that.

    I'm a 47yr old cougar, so I have no problem going as young as 25. It all depends on the person's maturity level and what you want out of the relationship.

    I'm about to be 31. I wouldn't go below 28. Even then it's unlikely. I'm willing to give more space between ages when he's older than me.

    If you have a connection with someone, age differences can be worked past.

    If however, you're on the prowl for barely legal because that's your thing, that's a bit creepy and skeezy and you should potentially rethink your life choices.
