In a relationship, can a girl be older than the boy?

[Giando]

In your opinion, could it be possible? Do you have any experiences like that? Can it work?

I mean a difference of age superior than 1 year.

As you get older, the whole guy being older thing makes less and less of a big difference. My mother's only two years older than my father, not the greatest example, but yeah it's definitely possible. If you're as or mature than the gal I see no problem in maintaining the relationship.

Age is just a shallow preliminary factor, for some.

I don't see why the guy has to be older, I've never really understood that mentality. I mean, I can understand a significant age difference being an issue for teenagers because there's a lot more of a difference between ages, but I don't see why the guy needs to be older in any situation. I would absolutely date a girl a few years older, no problem.

It's pretty much is based all on maturity. But that's with a guy being older than a girl too.

The main thing is a similar maturity level as other have mentioned. Albeit for only a short time, I have dated a girl who was like 18 months older then me. Although it didn't last long, the age thing was never an issue in the relationship. As long as you're connecting well, have the same level of maturity and have things in common, then it really shouldn't be a problem, especially if the age difference is only a few years.

I'm going to personally ask anyone who answers "no" to support their claim.

[Bull]

Sure, why not. I have dated when I was 4 years the junior. We had a lot of fun and enjoyed being intimate together. So do not let age difference stop you from enjoying togetherness.

Sure, I don't see why not. While you're in school, it may seem like a HUGE difference being with someone that's a year or two older/younger, but once you're out of school, it really doesn't seem like there's that big of an age difference.

I personally like guys that are a bit older... or at least guys that act a bit more mature to make it seem like they're older, but whatever, that's just a personal preference.

[User-Unknown]

I don't see it a problem. I mean it is like saying is it a problem if a girl is about 2 months older than a boy. You don't really care if it's 2 months difference because it's the same year, how can being in a relationship with an older girl be a problem.

Only thing is the age gap to me is maximum 3 years difference.

Correct, I agree. I have had a girlfriend who is 2 years older then me so it doesn't matter.

[Elysium]

I've personally known only one couple like that, and it never got in the way of their relationship. They broke up, but it was for a very different reason.

In a heterosexual couple, I don't understand the double standard that it's acceptable for a guy to be older than a girl, but it's weird if a girl is older than a guy. I see no reason why a girl can't be older than her male partner.

[riverboy]

Sure, why not?

[Satsuki]

Well idotnt think there is a rpoblem if the girls is older than the guy that she is with if the yare ok and they like each other :)

[AnswerMe]

Honestly, if it's not an age difference like the guy is 20 and the girl is 45, it doesn't really matter. What matters (in my opinion) is the mental state of both people in a relationship. Perhaps the girl is a bit immature or the guy is very mature for his age. But if it's a big difference, like 15 years or more (and it doesn't matter who is older), then the lives you guys lead are very different. I don't belive THAT kind of relationships can work out, really.

[Polski101]

When I've been in a relationship, they've always been older than me by a couple of months so I guess I'm just slightly mature for my age.

[Wyatt 13]

Yeah, no problem
