Just been speaking to a very mature 17 year old who's now engaged to a 33 year old guy with an 8 year old son - a 16 year age difference!!!
Pretty huge age difference but I think they'll be fine.
Anyone been in a big age difference relationship?
If so did it work out, did friendsand family disapprove event hough you both maybe fine about it?

You mean you and your boyfriend? He's 19 years older then you?
i was 17 and he was 31, once again didn't work out.
i was 19 and she was 34. She wanted too much committment
yeah they are my age diferences in relationships
Who didn't trust who, if you don't mind me asking.
Mr Miffy is 3 years younger than me. Not that it amounts to a hill of beans at our age.
how old are you i didnt figure you for someone that old:p
But you being 16, that would be way weird. I mean, for you it's great a girl with experience and all, but for a 27 year old girl I don't know, I guess it depends on the individual situation and people involved but if I was 27 I wouldn't be going out with a 16 year old girl.
And heres the controversial and sexist bit (there has to be one): it's worse for girls to do it as well.
lol... barely miffy... barely
and yes Rich i understand what you mean,
i'm only 23, and personally i wouldn't touch anyone younger than 20. it'd feel very, very wrong. when i'm 30, i might still have 20 as my age limit though consenting adults and all.
and mr. kaff is 8 months younger than me. ooh, the scandal.
I have a son 2 years younger than you.
thats why i said barely, you'd been 17 when i was born
i figured you for someone younger:p about... 8yrs younger,
Most people do... last time someone tried to guess my age they said 23! That was only last year. People are usually fairly shocked to find out I've got 5 children.
i read that as 8 years :eek: and thort....hmmm...he looks older than 15!
i think as soon as people get past their early twenties, age differences stop mattering so much. it's just when one's a kid, and one's very much an adult that it's scary.
Unfortunately shit happens and we lose the thing we most want.
Having said that I am about to marry someone 6 years older than me so age really isn't a big deal.
I dont' think I would go out with someone under the age of 20 though.
Having said that though i tried to explain to a 14 year old why it would just be plain wrong if the bloke she fancies who is 25 fancied her back and she just didn't get it.
I think it's much more common for guy to go out with a younger girl then other way around.
Most 18 year old guys I know are sooo immature!!!
Also women's child bearing years are much shorter then for a man!! Look at Michael Douglas and Caterine Z J.
older guys just know the tricks better thats all, oh and more money and experience
remember, little girls grow into women, little boys have a job for life
