    Wow! I used to REALLY like a guy who was 27 years old...

    holy crap! how many grandchildren did he have?

    Well, I was trying to make the point that 20 is nothing to me.. Jeez.

    He is 11 years older than me is how I should have worded it i guess

    My partner is 14 years older than me so...

    But context is everything. I'm almost 28. An 18 year old dating someone who is 14 years older is a much different topic. The 2 year difference for your situation is nothing to worry about.

    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?

    There's absolutely nothing wrong with dating someone whose older. Granted you're 18, 20 is very much within your immediate pool (including 25 year olds).

    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?

    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.

    lol that's only 2 yrs. I would hardly consider that a gap. When I was 19, I dated a 26 year old lol

    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.

    Good job on insulting 99% of MFP users?

    20 is not "older people."

    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.
