Please drop your friendly ideas because I'm in that situation of which I couldn't imagine. I'm almost 10 years older than the girl...Is it still advisable?

I think to a certain extent age does matter, but then again relationships are about maturity and if the two of you are in the same maturity range then things should be fine. You can't help who you fall in love with to a point.

Age never matters in a relationship as long as you respect and love each other and mature enough to handle things in certain situations then no problem ..

If you both feel mutual with each other, then I don't see anything wrong with that. Also, I don't see any reason why not to fall in-love with someone younger than you. We are all humans, and falling in-love doesn't have any laws in which to choose and who to love. The objective of loving someone is, to be happy and live our lives to the extent..

Hi Mindrich, If you were 36 and she was 26, or if you were 46 and she was 36, I don't think it would be so bad, but you are 26, and she's only 16. She's still really young. Do you two have anything in common? If her parents are okay with it, and she's mature enough, then it's probably okay. It's hard, especially if the LOVE is really there, for the both of you. Good-luck to the both of you, and to whoever else maybe involved. :o)

I don't think age matters as long as you really care about the person and you get along. I have dated men who were older than me and I found that sometimes I was more compatible with them because we had the same interests and they were more mature. You never know...might work in your favour!!

I don't think so. Age has nothing to do with falling in love. But the feeling alone. If you fall in love it is usually the feelings that matters. That is why there are May-December love affair.

Well I thinks there is nothing wrong with taht as long as you are not 20 and the girl is 10. :) Women psychologically mature 5 times ahead than men. WE are on the stage of playing, they are on the stage thinking that they are grown up ladies. If you love her, and she loves you, what is the problem with that? You can treat her with more love than the man of her age.

i believe age doesn't matter...as long as you love each other there is no problem about the age...the most important is you feelings although some would criticize your relationship but don't mind of them...

Of course NOT!!! Love has no restriction. As long as there would be no legal problems. You're both single, at the right age to settle down. You both understand each other inspite of the gap of years between you and the girl.Go for it and fight for it...
