In this generation we are not looking at the age because age doesn't matter when you fall in love..promise it happens..

i do agree with you.. coz lots of couples nowadays have age gap but it doesnt matter to them.. as long as they love each other..

i believe its ok to fall in love 10 years younger from you. Love is blind and love dont choose anyone. It is regardless of age as the saying goes " age doesnt matter". Its not a problem. But the problem that they should face is how would they adjust to each one's genres. As their relationship goes by, they could see differences between them. The main reason would be their age gaps. But However, no matter of the differences, as long as they love each other they can surpass all battles and trials in their relationships. =)

I think love conquers all. Age is just numbers,it's how strong is their love for each other and accepting each other for what they are and what their gonna be even then faults sand mistakes. What is important feeling love then not having love at all, that counts a lot! have a nice day!

I would think as long as they are both adults and mature enough, if they enjoy each others company and have enough things in common or enough things they can relate to between them, why not fall in love? Some people think a man should be the older one in a relationship, but my boyfriend is four years younger than I am and we think so much aloke and get along great. My sister married a man who was twenty years older than she is and they get along great as well. Age is such a small part of who we are, and it really is just a number. I think maturity and experiences have a lot more to do with it than someone's actual age.

Yes it is okay because in love age doesn't matter.But I personally think that it would matter if the age gap is too big and It is not okay. And if you are 20 and you fall in love with someone who is 10 years younger than you , then that will already be not too appropriate and your friend will be called a cradle snatcher.

If she's over a certain age, then yes, it's okay. You can't help who you love. Age shouldn't matter.

My parents are 10 years apart. As long as the girl is old enough and he is truely in love with her and they have common interests then I don't see anything so wrong with it. Girls mature much faster then guys and sometimes a very mature woman will need to be with a man much older then her so their maturity levels are semi equal. It would be grose however if the girl is still in her teens and the guy 10 years older. At least wait until she is in her 20's that's when the age gap starts to close a bit. A 27 year old in love with a 17 year old is wrong.
