most girls want to be cared by their boyfriends,and get more comfort from them.I'm not the exception.However,if my boyfriend is younger than me,i feel that i have more responsibility to take care of him rather than being cared.Do you have the same feelings ,would u mind if your boyfriend is younger than you?

Yes, I would because most men takes longer time to mature than women. He would probably take your like his mother and you really do not want that to happen.

My husband is over 5 years older than I am .... and it is not a problem. Of course, neither one is us is that young anyhow. ONe of my sons was 20 when he married a woman over twice as old as he was...I have not heard how that has turned out.

Hello There! My boyfriend is younger than me by almost a year but that is fine with me since it is very little age difference. In my perspective, since I am a girl, I don't like to have a boyfriend that is younger than me by like three years onwards. It is like having a brother for me. That is my reason. But for those people who has a relationship with younger guys, it is their choice... actually, it is what the hearts define *hehehe*. I believe age doesn't matter (ofcourse one must be at legal age) as long as the person whether it will be a girl or girl is serious in having a relationship, ready to commit themselves with their partner or boyfriend/girlfriend and most importantly are mature enough to be in a relationship. I think that is better than having someone older than you but keeps on hurting you and acts like a kid or teenager. lolz. Thank you for the discussion! Have a great day and happy Mylotting! Cheers!

Hello!!! I seem younger that I am and always attracted youngsters guys on average three yaers younger than me. This unreliability was always a problem for me. But today I think that this is very relative, and what really it matters is the character of the person, and not his date of birth. Excuse me for the grammar errors, I am a brazilian learning English... =D

to an extent i agree with you. Not all guys that are younger than me arn't husband / good boyfriend material. My mum told me before that if your husband is the same age as you (my dad and mum are the same age), the guy tends to treat you like his sister after awhile in the marriage. Well, i want to be pampered. And just looking at most of my guy friends my age, at times i feel like i'm older than them and have to take care of them. I find that i want a more matured guy. My ideal would be 4 to 5 years my senior.

Honestly, one of the criteria for me to like somebody and be my boyfriend is to be at my age or older than me. Well, my current boyfriend is six years older than me. For me, males are late to mature than females and it was already proven by studies and experiences. As for my experience it's true. So I will mind if someone will try to court me younger than my age. I wanted to be pampered and I will pamper him back and the way a mature man thinks is way so I become so inlove with him. Just like my boyfriend.*whink*

No, I don't mind if my boyfriend is younger than me. Maturity does not depend on one's age, there are younger men who are mature compared to older men. Do not be compelled with any responsibilities wit younger boyfriend because men by nature are really caring doesn't matter if they are younger or older. There are lots of relationships in the society composed of younger men and older women who succeeds because of their understanding and maturity, so don't be afraid of taking younger men. So as long as your love is genuine then everything is alright.

I'm younger then my girlfriend by about one or two years but she doesn't really seem to care. Of course she makes a lot more money then me because she has a much better job then me but I still try to take care of her the best that I possibly can. I usually cook for her and just about do anything that she needs me to so that way I can hopefully stay her boyfriend.

My boyfriend is two years younger than me and honestly, we forget that we have that age gap between us. I once told myself that I would never date a younger guy, even if it is only a minute gap because I don't want to baby-sit my boyfriend, he should be the one protecting me and so on. But I was wrong! My boyfriend is the mature one, he is responsible, loving, caring, understanding and he comforts me. So I think it all depends on your feeling towards him, his personality and how he treats you. Worth the shot though, coz I know mine is totally worth it!

no i don't mind it, but my 4 yr younger bf loves me then it doesn't matter what matter most is that he loves me and i love him. There's no need to have reasons to love somebody you just have to enjoy the moment rather than wasting your time thinking of those negativity.If he loves you then he loves you!!!!!!!!!!

Jenny, when I was growing up, I used to say that my man HAD to have been older than myself. Why? I wanted to make sure he was mature enough to deal with life and the situations. Well, now that I've been married several times, I find myself in my mid thirties, dating someone who is 8 years younger. My last boyfriend was 12 years younger. So, you can imagine that I don't mind my man being younger, because I've found out that age doesn't matter, not at all. It's what the other person is willing to do and get done that matters. The one that is 12 years younger was more mature than the men my age. *Pleiades

I do not see any wrong between that kind of relationship. But as they, it is not the time to gain the consequence.

Some older guys are really immature and a bit of liability. while a lot of younger guys are mature and would pamper a woman and take care of her. it's not age related. I really believe that if you are not mature by the time you are in your mid twenties than you will never mature. But personally I'd find it hard to be with someone who's younger than me. I don't think I'd take him seriously.

I used to tell myself that I would never date younger guys, because I am not going to baby-sit my own boyfriend, I need a man to love, comfort and protect me. But I was wrong! My boyfriend is 2 years younger than me, but he is more mature than I am. You see, we don't even remember that there is that 2 years of age gap between us, we honestly don't care at all. Because we are comfortable around each other and he is by far the best boyfriend that I could ever ask for, he is responsible, caring, loving, he would bear with my constant mood swings and he is funny too. My point is, my boyfriend may be 2 years younger than me, but he is the man in this relationship, the one who takes good care of me and we comforts each other. So I suppose, it depends on the guy's personality, your feelings towards him and how he treats you. Worth the shot though, coz mine is completely worth it!! =D
