It's not really that big of a gap. My parents have 13 years between them and my cousins have 20 years between them, so 4 really isn't all that bad. If you truly love him then age doesn't mean a thing. Don't let that interfere with your relationship. ^_^

It is only a four year difference. This is not what we call the may-december love affair. As long as the two of you love each other and not hurting anyone it is alright to fall in love. Just take time to know each other.

As long as you love each other and have the same views in life then age gap is not a hindrance to your relationship. Spend time to know better the person before deciding for marriage.

HI, love is not matter about aging... for most people only. To me, I dont really like guy that younger than me. I always interested in someone a little older but not that old... just about 3 years old or something like that... but if you love him, just try to get to know him as much as you can, and see if he loves you back or not. If it is turn out to be good then, you should step up. 4 years different is not a big deal tho... and you can't tell the different if you dont tell your age right? Good luck my friend

I appreciate your comment. It is also my standard. I don't want a guy younger than I am. Before, someone 11 months younger than me courted me, and I told him that I don't want a younger man. Now, another one came and he is 4 years younger than me. I love him but I do not know how to face the age gap. I want to ignore it but it keeps on rolling in my mind... :o(

It's only a four year difference, what's the problem? My first wife was five years older than me and we stayed together for twenty years. My current wife is a whole lot younger than I am and we shall stay together for the rest of our lives. If you love each other, then age means nothing

Thank you very much. I really appreciate your comment. Age is actually a part of my standard because I want a guy with the same age as mine or older. But when this person came and his state of mind is more than everybody else I loved, I never really thought about the age, but still, I am hesitant because I am the woman and older... :o(

Hey, That isn't too bad, I have seen some people have a huge age gap. But then again you are a woman though. But I have also seen women have a 5 year gap between the man, as long as you don't look to much older than him, it is fine. Which of course I don't think you look older than him, I reckon you look younger. Make sure you have a good day, God bless and Happy Lotting!!

There are factors to consider if your age gap will work to your advantage. These include: 1. having many things in common like hobbies, likes, dislikes, lifestyles, money management, life experiences. 2. Being emotionally mature and financially stable. 3. Sharing the same social and moral values as well as religious beliefs. At least those three considerations are present in both you, it is then that you can be suitable for each other.

Dear Cristina I think it's wonderful that you are falling in love. That's the most amazing experience in life and that's also why we are here..to love one another. His age is not that far from yours and if he is making you happy, then you need to go for it. I have been married several times but two of them were to older men. I can't say that marrying someone older than you will always work out. He should be the one questioning if the age is a problem and if he's not then he is happy with you. My husband was 14 years older than me and we were married for 28 yrs then he passed away. It used to be that boys didn't advance as well as girls and were 3 years behind us actually but everything in this world has changed since I was born and dating. Babies back then didn't do the things they do today when they are born.The world is moving quickly and you need to grab on to it before it passes you by. If there is love between you both, then hold on and appreciate the fact that you have someone you love and who loves you back. I wish you both the best of luck. If this guy was a lot younger than you I would say be careful but his age is not that far off. God Bless and enjoy being in love.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the age difference. I say go for it. Take the risk. You only pass this way once.

Forget it , too young for you , my opinion though is that a woman should date a man a tat older than herself due to maturity reasons. Men do mature later than women and to some, it never happens lol lol , seriously though that's mylot. It's y

I have been on both sides here lol My fiance' now is 9 yrs older that me I am 36 and he is 45. We are happily engaged. Then my ex who I had three beautifull children with is 8 yrs younger than me. He is 28. I am not a person who has an issue with age, It's just a number and if you love him let him know and see where it goes. If it works out then great for you if sadly it doesn't then you will be able to start the healing process and move one to a man that will love you, no matter what.

My personal opinion is to confirm whether he is feeling the same thing with you. If he truly loves you, why can't you accept it?

I thin this is a positive thing for the both of you. I have always dated older women than me. its an gap but positve baseline to start from. you can learn a lot from eachother if you listen to each other and he can look to you for guidence in certain situation he is to incounter especially at 21. I see know wrong in falling in love with him. Just respect each other and have a happy relationship

Well i do not see a problem with that kind of age gap. You're still I guess in the same age bracket and what you should be worrying about is if you two are indeed compatible enough to be in a relationship. So for now age doesn't matter for the both of you since you are not that far from each other.

Hello cristina, I know how many answers you may get but still you will be feeling maybe more or less the same way so I can just tell you that age has never been a difference to the feelings two people share so all you have to think is if YOU think that you will not continue to remind yourself every now and then about the difference in age. If you think you can overcome that then go for the love as love is so wonderful And if you think that although being with him you will constantly remind yourself of you age then think well before being with him. 4 years is no big deal if you can forget about it.

It's not a big age gap.nevertheless,I see no problem if you start falling for him.as long as he is legally single and he loves,cares,respects,understands,and trusts you,I see no problem about you falling for him.age doesn't dictate on who we shall fall in love with.
