All of that being said, I think that once two people are past the age of consent and are in an even power dynamic, anything is fine. I have a tendency to be attracted to people who are older than me; I have always gravitated toward them and felt most comfortable around them. Outside the parameters listed above, I think it's silly to put a number restriction on who you can and can't love. It's also belittling and oh-so-frustrating for someone older to assume that they can never connect with someone younger due to some vague and unnamed difference in life experiences.

I, personally do not fancy guys younger than me. More often than not they don't match up in maturity, but my husband is 4 years my senior and we met when i was 17 and he was 21. In some areas, our relationship would have been banned from the start, but by the time i was 20 and he was 24, it didn't matter.

In case of minors, yes this is definitely an issue since at their age small gaps mean a lot. however, in adults I believe it all depends upon the love and connection they feel for and with each other. Remember when you're in love, Age is just a number...Jaime Lync wrote:Elias fell in love with an underage girl. He had no idea that she was underage at the time their emotional affair began to bloom. Do you think it would have been possible for their love interest in each other to flourish if Elias knew that she was underage from the start?
I can testify that a girl was showing interest in me but when we found out our age difference we were like - Nope, this ain't happening. I think she must have been 13 and I was 16 then. I know if she was 23 and I was 26 that 3-year gap would have been nothing but at that stage those 3 years is huge.
Do you try avoiding getting involved with people younger than you? Is age a huge factor when it comes to romantic relationships? (obviously we should obey the law)
