What do you guys think about "Age doesn't matter" in falling in love to someone younger or older than you, say like almost half your age?

I think gap up to 10 years is fine...beyond that according to my view there are lot of chances of breaking up in a short time.

I say that nothing is wrong with it. Love sets no boundaries. If you have that certain emotion in you, it is hard to control. You may control on what to do with it but not on how to stop the feeling. This kind of relationships wherein someone is older or younger than the other is ofter criticized by a lot. I say just let them judge. Besides, it is your life. If you are happy with what you do and who you are with, then why stop it from happening. Love is a sweet feeling. Love has that certain quality. I think that too much attention should not be given on the numbers that may stand in between your happiness.

Ah, the May December love affair. . Who can tell if it is wrong or not. Maturity of the person doesn't always comes with aging . It is sometimes the way you were brought up by your parents and the way you view life. There are people who are old enough for each other but one of them is acting like a child. That is a big concern for the other party. While here is another couple of which one is young enough to be her/his son/daughter but acting like a real grown up. Treating the other partner with respect and bringing out the best in that person. Now, who is better? There is nothing really wrong when it comes to love. As the saying goes, all is fair in love and war.:)

I wouldn't say it's wrong. A bit weird, especially if the age gap is very wide and noticeable, but each to his own. For me, I wouldn't mind a gap of more or less five years. But, that's just me.

Half my age? I think, that's too much for an age gap in a relationship. Surely, you won't sync in with your likes and dislikes if that's the case. But 10 years older or younger, i guess it's okay. In fact, i am older by 6 years to my husband, but we get along fine. he even thinks more maturely than me.

I support it.To love someone or to fall in love of someone age does not matter.Love is really a different thing.It is the selection of two hearts to combine into one rather judging each other properly.If they are satisfied to share the intrnals,they can do it.There age does not play any role.If age play,it is not a 'love'.Love is really a sacred thing and I respect it.

I don't think it's wrong at all. It purely depends on the two people involved though. Some people can't get past the age difference, and others don't even notice it. I have a friend my age who was married for 20 years to somebody 30 years older than her. They were so in love all those years, and age differences didn't matter to them one bit. They had common friends, common interests, and hobbies. Theirs was a true love that transcended time and age. He passed when he was in his mid 80's and she lovingly took care of him right to the end. For some people it's the love of their life, and for others, the age difference wears thin and the older they get the more the age difference matters. I don't think it's wrong, but it's not right for everybody.

I think what also matters is how one looks at it.. They may see it as true love or judge the couple for being the wrong pair.

Age doesn't matter, its just a number...some people are very young for their age mentally and some people are older mentally, its what is in your heart that matter and it is all that matters...

As long as it's not incestuous then I'm actually quite ok with this age issue. Others might have some sort of view about this, or perhaps attach some sort of stereotypical label on couples who are in this type of situation, but I would rather give them my blessings as long as they truly love each other.

I think I won't mind if the distance is not too too far like 10 - 15 years older than me but I don't think I would fall in love with somebody that is younger than me, probably not even 1 year.

I don't understand it but I mean to each his own I guess. The only time I would object to it is if one of the persons is underage. Otherwise do whatever makes you happy.
