    I am, but according to the chart a few pages back, I am socially unacceptable.

    Oooookay. I was thinking this would be about at least a 10 year age difference. 2 years? Really??

    My husband is a little younger than me. We have a friend who married a lady 14 years older than him.

    What does age matter if you are truly compatible?

    My father was 20 years older than my mom, my grandfather was 20 years older than my grandma. Of course, my parents were also step-brother and sister... but that doesn't figure into the math...

    I think age has more to do with what age bracket you are in than anything else. For example.
    Teenagers shouldn't be dating pre-teens.
    25-29 shouldn't be dating teenagers
    30-35 shouldn't be dating anyone under 21
    35-40 shouldn't be dating anyone under 30
    After 40 it seems to get less and less important how old you are vs you mate. but 10 years is a general guideline, but there are exceptions.

    In my opinion

    I don't see how such an age difference would work. You're both at completely different places in life.

    36 shouldn't date 29 but it's cool for 35 to date 21? logic fail. I'm confused.

    You're only 18?? You should not be dating. Period. Go back to barbies.

    At 18 I was dating a man that was 28. At 20 I married a man who was 32.

    As long as you're comfortable with it who cares. Age is only a number.

    Granted, it's a huge gap yes, but no unheard of, Depending on the person you might also want to say 30-35 shouldn't date anyone younger that 25. I personally wouldn't date anyone 10 years or more younger than myself, but I shoot for no more than 5 years difference, each person is differant though

    By the way, if you always look for something wrong with what ever someone else says, you will find it, but it doesn't make you right.

    I was giving my opinion based on my experience, I dated a 34 year old when i was 18, I wouldn't do it again even though she was great because it didn't last. It obviously didn't last with your either or that would be your current bf as opposed to your ex.

    Well it wasn't going to last was it, I was only 19 and I'm too clever to be one of those ejits who gets married at 20 or 21 and divorced by the time they're 29. I had a life to live and a world to travel and see. Your opinion is not valid anyway, that's my opinion.

    and you are obviously welcome to your own opinion, even when it's wrong. :)

    The only reason I put my OPINION up here is because it was related to the topic. It's just that, an OPINION. I know full well that not everyone is going to agree, but last time I checked, putting your OPINION up here was what these forums were all about.

    As for your rule, if a 40 year old guy was trying to get with my 18 (future reference) daughter, I'd beat the crap outta him.. Just sayin.

    But whatever works for you, go for it.

    Two years isnt that bad. Ten years isnt that bad. 20 years is a bit unrealistic for serious dating, but some fun can be had. :drinker:

    A friend once told me that men should marry a girl half their age plus 7 years. Sooo you are actually dating a little young there.
