with someone younger than you? Age really doesn't matter when it comes to the matter of the heart. Although some still have their preference when going out with someone. I'm just curious in finding out who will choose to go out with someone younger or someone older? Don't you think sometimes it's much better to simply not know the persons age?

I don't mind the age of who i will go out with greatly.Whether a person is good to deal with or not does't only depend on his or her age.But the truth we can't neglect is that most of us have more to talk about each other with who are approximately in the same age.Meanwhile,maybe we can know more from someone older and relax ourselves more when facing someone younger. Each group of people of different age has its own davantage to make friends with.

Hi small saoz hou: I agree with you, there are some other things that are more important to improve a relationship, such us communication skills. In my case I have found that I can make a friendship with a person that is older because in general I have some of the features that like older people. For example I'm a peaceful person, I love intellectual job, etc. Thanks for your answer. Have a nice day. ALVARO

I really dont think it matters - its whether you like each other & make each other happy thats important. Having said that, I guess I'm starting to run out of people in the world who are older than me

I agree. It really doesn't matter to me the age of a person. Partially because all people mature at different times. If we connect, that's all that matters. I'm currently dating my boyfriend who is about one year younger than me. People wonder why I'm dating a younger guy, but all I can say is that I connect with him and love him. Sometimes, I think he's more mature than me! I haven't quite seen what's outside of my city yet, so that might be why. I love him and want to marry him, so I really don't think age makes a difference.

You know sometimes it's the people around us who judge us why we go out with older or younger person. I think what matters really is like what you said, is the connection. Thanks. :)

I am a guy, so my preference will be someone who is younger than me is the better, but not too far younger though. I will not handle the age difference gap. I might consider the gap just between 5 to 8 years. I just afraid that both of us might have further problem later on.

I will go who is elder then me. But i know love does not care anything. Love is blind. And blind people can not see anything also the age. So i will go with whom i will fall in love. But my priority will be elder.

Hi, santosmarichris! I think your question is too general, I just want to know what's the condition. If going out for work & study & other things like that, age is not important, whether the partner is useful for the work etc is the question. If going out for a trip, I think I'd like my partner's age is near to me, so we may have more common language. ... I think my answer depends on the condition much.

Maybe I had a wrong comprehension, if for love, I definitely like the one younger than me.

It doesn't matter as long as their is a good chemistry between us. And age is just a number the one does matter is the quality. And having a great personality since pretty or having handsome face get fades when one becomes old or become wrinkled and what is left is a good company. Their is person whom I know is old in their age number but really look younger than those who are truly young. So some are so proud with their age number and being praise for maintaining a good look without too much pressure as manifested in their face maintaining an optimistic outlook in life. Knowing the age is not really important to me and the look does matter especially those with exciting personality.

I would go out with someone who was older than i was. i would also go out with someone younger in age than myself. Age should not be a barrier in any relationship. Older or younger, there should be no room for regrets.

It really doesn't matter. As long as you love each other then go for it. As for me if I really love her then I will go out with her even if she's younger or older than me. But I will really prefer if she's younger than me. But love is really a mysterious thing. Sometime we fell in love to someone we really don't prefer.

Well it would have to be some one younger I guess since I think they are more fun to hang out with but you never know if you meet some one a little older that is fun to hang out with and treats you good that is also good looking.

For me ,it doesn't matter unless the age gap is unaccessible.

Age is not at all a big deal in today's date.Its only that the person is matured in mind,you be comfortable with him and compatible as well.U like to share even petty matters with him and that person is always ready with a logical solution to it.

I don't mind age in a relationship greatly. If there were an extremely huge gap, then I would be concerned. I would prefer dating someone the same age as me, or two or three years younger, simply because I like to help people out and because I would feel intimidated by someone much older than I. I have been interested in people older than me, though. Generally, as long as we can get along and the age difference isn't too bad.

For me age doesn't matter but sometimes because we are human being we can manage or control ourselves and it will end up in a different way. Some individual want older than them and some also younger than them. If I am going to choose I would prefer to go along with younger age than me. If I have a chance to choose. I am lucky enough all of my dates showed younger than me. ANyway, thanks for posting. Nice discussion mate. Continue posting and you will become more productive here. Welcome also to mylot.

hi there. dating...dating...dating. man's unconscious involvement in socializing. ;-) either of the two is ok. i think dating someone my age would be less of an issue. plus, it would be quite easy because you are almost the same in everything. however, it's quite interesting dating someone older...because you can learn things. in short, you are growing ahead of your age. plus you get taken care of. dating someone younger is quite a challenge. you have to be the mature one in the relationship. the fun part is you are helping your partner grow with a little influence from you.

Hi santos mari chris: I think age is just a number if both persons are responsible and really love each other. In fact age differences would help people to share the best of both worlds, I think. I'd love to date someone that has two or three years less than me maximum because I see myself as a young person. I'm 22 so I'd date a person that would be 19 years old or older. I wouldn't care to date a person older than me between 23 to 30 years old I think. Thanks for making this question. Have a nice day. ALVARO.

There's nothing wrong with age, whether you go out for a younger or older person than you. As long as you are both comfortable with each other, then there's no problem with that.
