To large of an age gap?

[CosmicNoodle]

OK, I'm 16 years old. 17 in July (2 months).
There is a girl I'm into, we see every now and then and get on like a house on fire. Honestly better than I get on with even my closest friend.

But my problem is, she's 18, is that just too big an age gap for me to even bother trying, or should I go for it?

[Ainsleyshea]

go for it what's the worst that could happen

It's only two year. I don't see why it should be that big of a deal.

2 years or less with you almost 17, don't see that much of a gap

[Abyssal Echo]

I don't see a problem. 2 years or less isn't much of an age gap. go for it

Love doesn't know time. They have yet to meet. And you would you be to set that meeting in motion? I've heard of gaps of seven/eight/nine years, how 'bout that for a gap? Honestly, I was befuddled with a fourteen year-old when I was 11, that's larger than yours AND I was too young to know love yet. (Though I still miss Anke...) So why not? Go for it!!

[Croconaw]

That isn't that big of an age gap. Go for it!

[yeahsure]

that's almost not an age gap!

My parents are practically that far apart. Go for it.
Now if she was like 24, i'd recommend against it but since she's only ~14 months older then it's fine IMO.

I don't think 2 years or less is at all too large. However, I don't know how this stuff works in the UK, but in the USA, someone who is underage can get into trouble with someone who is overage. I would look into the laws regarding this kind of relationship. She could get in trouble even if something was completely your fault.

That's fine...;)

[RavleIncarnate]

As I said, its not big at all. Just do it!!

I don't think the age is too big...just go for it.

When I saw the title I thought this was another 25 years older thing.......

2 years is OK and there's a 3-4 year age gap between my mum and dad :lol:

^This. Check your laws regarding this then if it's ok, there's no other reason to hold back.

Well with my parents there is a 3-4 year age gap. I don't reckon anything is wrong with it

[PythonProject]

Two years isn't such a large gap. Go for it

[Menzis]

Nothing wrong with that at all.

[everlong]

2 years is not a big age gap. Especially at your age. I would say, unless there are other reasons to not do so, go for it! :D

[plebble]

Go for it! That's fine!
When I first saw this thread I thought she was gonna be like 13 lol. But 16 and 18 is perfectly fine.

It's no big age gap, but the thing is that girls usually prefer older guys, not even at the same age. However, "no guts, no glory"...

[Philleeep]

knock yourself out! It's less than two years :)

[kaydencorey]

That's hardly an age gap at all, and if you both get on as much as you say you do, well, its got to be worth a try, or you may regret it if you do nothing, and that would hurt.
