Exectly what is the biggest age gap you've been in when it comes to a relationship? How old is too old for you and how young is too young for you? When I was 16 I dated a guy that was 26. Ten years older than me. Of course I didnt tell my parents because they would of freaked out and wouldnt of let me see him or date him. He had a steady job, a car, and an apartment. Acutally 10 years is too old for me, I actually wonder why exectly I dated him. Then I really think about it and dated him because of what he had and not who he was. It was a place for me to sneek off to on the weekends when my rents thought I was staying at a friends house. It was also a place I could party at and get anything I wanted at the drop of a hat. Granted he didnt have a lot of money or anything, but if i wanted something he'd always get it for me. plus he could really cook. Do you have any stories like this or have any comments about mine?

I'm 21 and I'm currently seeing a wonderful man who is six years older than me -- my parents know, his parents know, and it's not much of a problem. But perhaps this is easier because we're both pretty much grown up, so six years is a lot less of a problem than it would have been, were I 16 and he 21. But he's the man I'm going to marry, so, yeah, certain age gaps can work out.

Oh yes certain age gaps can work out wonderfully. While others are just a problem. Like when I was 16 dating a 26 year old. My parents would have killed me. I now look back and actually wonder what I was thinking.
