    How are you in a relationship with someone who is single? Does he know that you two are in a relationship or have you not told him yet?

    This is the real question.

    Also, 2 years is not "older people" in any way but the technical. Tack another 0 on the end of his age and then we'll talk.
    I agree. 2 years older doesn't count.
  • Dang if 20's old I may as well just give up now.


    my husband to be is 7 years older than I am. my dad was 9 years older than my mom... sometimes there's a maturity level difference, but that has nothing to do with age.

    i am 18 years old. i am in a relationship with a 20 year old who is single. i feel like that is an appropriate age. do u?

    I'm concerned that he's single AND in a relationship.

    Good job on insulting 99% of MFP users?

    20 is not "older people."

    For your reference:

    The two years difference doesn't bother me so much, but I have to wonder why a 20 year old would want to date a girl still in high school.

    Edit: Nvm, read her profile.

    The correct rule for dating is double your age - 20. So if I'm 35 that's 70 - 20... I'm only allowed to date a 50 year old. you are 18 so that means 36 - 20 you can only date 16 year olds. Or something like that.

    I'm with another poster and think he doesn't know he's in a relationship.

    nobody's offended. we all remember what it was like to be 18. or at least would remember if our memories hadn't gone out on us in our mid-20's.

    would I date someone older than myself? well there is 17 years between me and my husband so there is the answer (we started dating when I was 22, he was 39)
    there is nothing wrong with 18 and 20. 2 years difference doesnt really qualify as dating someone older.

    Nothing is wrong with it! Maybe she was asking because her parents told her he was too old for her, but she wanted to get a number of answers / opinions from everyone else!

    No, I'm not. But I am in possession of sarcasm and your meter is apparently broken.

    I dated a guy once in my early 20's who was 10 years older than me. Age was never an issue for us but he was a *kitten* (I mean who breaks up with someone via text and is in their 30's!), so we split. I'm now married to a great guy whose 4 years older than me. I guess when you're 18, you look at age difference more but honestly, as long as its legal I say, age is just a number, lol.

    Seriously. My husband is only 1 day older - otherwise it would be gross.

    I'm all for older men/women. I prefer it. And thanks for calling me old btw:3 I'm 20 and I'll admit I have this mega crush on this 44 year old. Yeah older, but he's pretty yummzy.

    I don't think age really matters (unless you are legally a child and they are legally an adult). I was dating a 30 year old when I was 18 and age wasn't a problem. My current boyfriend is 4 years older than me. I've dater younger than myself though too.

    I dated a 20 year old when I was 17. As long as you trust him (for and with the right reasons) and he's not a creeper, you're fine. If you're 18, unlike a few posters are saying, it's completely legal, regardless of where you live.

    I don't age discriminate, unless she is younger than 18.

    It's gonna be so much fun next year, when he's going to the bars and you're sitting at home texting him and wondering why he isn't spending any time with you!
