Age Difference?

[Mikki]

I'm 15 and I really like this guy who is 18, and I know he likes me too.
I definalty know that it's illegal in Australia if we do anything, but we can still enjoy each others company. However I was just wondering what your opinion on age difference is? And what's your personal age limit?


If anyone want to PM me or add me feel free :)

Well for me age isn't important..My boyfriend has 21 and i am 16 so... If you like him and he likes you that's all that matters..

I feel for now 2 years older or younger 3 yu are Pushing it but thts my opinion... But later on in life it dont matter and yea i think yu two are fine just hanging out

I've always gone with the two year rule. Two years younger or older. However whilst you're young age is more important, you a 15 year old with an 18 year old whilst the age gap isn't too bad. Legally at 15 you are a minor. And consider why is an 18 year old interested in you at a young age. I'd say no, it sounds a bit odd on his part and you are probably better off without. However that said if at the end of the day you like each other and you want to be together it's not really anyone elses place to say yes or no it's entirely up to you.
Good Luck :)

I don't think 3 years is a lot, once i had a girlfriend who was 21 and i was 16... ok it might not work out for so long, but it has a unique feeling when you're with someone older than you, don't miss that feeling, its like a once in a lifetime feeling.
Good Luck ;)

With the 3 yrs its not bad but i mean i think it depends a lot on maturity level also if yur very immature then no i saw its weird but if yur very mature for yur age i can see it being out... Its difficult to explain

My view is age doesn't really matter, up to a certain point. Once you reach 16 then the age gap can increase dramatically e.g. in my opinion a 16 year old with a 21 year old is fine, but whilst you're under 16 then 2 years is usually normal with 3 at a push, so I'd say you're just about okay,

I was with a 20 year old girl when I was 16 and then another one when I was 17, which both worked fine (as egotistic as it sounds I'm pretty mature for my age) and the youngest person I've been involved in any way was a 14 year old girl who's pretty mature for her age, but obviously there the 3 year gap limits what we could do

All in all it's your choice, just be aware of the restrictions/laws that being under 16 creates

I had a boyfriend when I was 15, and he was 18. It's fine, really, your age shouldn't define who you are as a person.

I think only in extreme cases, it's not okay... when it's not love. Like... 13 years old and 40 years old.

Although the number of years apart is just 3 years, some people may find it quite a gap.
But this illusional gap closes as both parties get older, and as the relationship becomes more stable.

Whats important is not how far apart 2 parties are in age, but the level of maturity, and how the couple brave through the difficult times together.

I am perfectly comfortable with a guy or a girl even if he/she is 20 but able to communicate with me in the way i am comfortable with.
Thats what being in a relationship is all about.

I've always stood by the point where age should not and never be a gap to a relationship.
As you have mentioned, you are aware of the legal issues, which means as long as the both of you conduct yourselves in the right fashion, im sure its perfectly alright.

Not every relationship has to end up in the sexual direction; In fact sex should not be a main course in a relationship, but rather more importantly enjoying each other's respect, care, concern and company.

Conclusively, we do not need anyone's permission to love someone, so why bother what people think.

Good luck

This.

If you have good communication with each other and "get" each other than age shouldn't be a big deal.
