Age is not the thing to look for. Maturity is. If you really enjoy being with someone, it should not matter what their age is. My husband is 8 years younger than I am, but we are perfect together. (It also helps that he looks older than I do! )

i have a boyfriend now and he is 10 years younger than me and he's so handsome inside and out!! we really get along together. despite the age gap, we are compatible in many ways. his ideas meet with mine and we never let the day pass with an unsolved problem. we always make it sure that whatever problems that exist, we talked about it and solved it. we listen to our hearts and mind always.there is God in the center of us.. in this way, we believe that we'll be together forever...

My personal belief is that I don't care what age my boyfriend is as long as we get along great together. I would prefer someone as close to my age as possible so that we can better relate to each other. I would never want to go more than two or three years either way. As you get older, age differences become less noticeable but at my age three years is a huge difference.

I don't like to date with anyone who is younger than me. I need the feeling of a protection and care. And it seems young boys are not mature to give me these feelings. I love China

Generally I prefer an older boyfriend. Whether it's true or not, at least to me older seems to be more mature. Or in other words, I don't mind my boyfriend is younger than me. But I need him to be mature enough to take good care of me.

Hi wangchunxia, age is not important in a relationship as long as you both love and enjoy each others company. You just have to be mature in handling relationships. Goodluck!

it doesn't matter as long as we understand and love each other. just like what others say, age doesn't matter when it comes to love

I will not go out with someone that is more than a year younger than me, because as I am 17, someone being over a year young would be under 16 and that would be against the law and wrong. So I tend to choose people within a year of my age or older, but as I tend not to know many people older, they are usually about my age. My current boyfriend is 9 months younger than me, while my ex boyfriend was 3 months older.

It makes a bigger difference when you are younger. If you are 62 and your spouse is 55 it isn't that big of a deal, but if you are 20 and your partner is 13 or 14, it makes a huge difference.

i am a guy but i guess i'll respond to your discussion. almost all the girlfriends i had a relationship with were older than me. the oldest was 5 years older than me. it has its own advantages & disadvantages but it is true that you mature faster when you're with someone older. i also had a girlfriend who's 5 years younger than me. but since i was already used to having meaningful conversations, it didn't work out. my current girlfriend is just the same age as mine. i'm only 1 month older than her. & it's almost perfect. you can be both mature at times & you can be very childish, too.

I prefer old guys, but it seems that I only attract the younger ones. I like the older ones, because the young ones are so imature and they usually have childish attitudes.

Frankly age doesnt matter that much, if the relationship works for you. I personally prefer older guys, but i have dated younger men too, well the thing is, as long as the relationship is going smooth, its okay, but i dont like guys shorter than me...younger or older

hi,chunxia,you are very lucky.although he is younger than you,he is so mature.i am very glad for you.and i agree with other friends that the age is not important,plus he is just i year younger than you.you must will be very happy in the future.maybe the man that a woman is looking for is just the man who has the traits of mature,composed,and braveness.so you are successful.

for me age is just a number.so it isn't important thing to look for in finding someone to be with.it's all depends on how mature he is. as for me,personally;i prefer my boyfriend to older than me.but there's no problem with me if I've been destinies with someone who's younger as what important in relationship is love and maturity :)

age is not the matter in every relationship. .what matters most is the maturity of every person to understand each other and to keep the relationship strong. .
