What Are Your Age Limit?

I decided to type about age topic because someone I know is dating a guy that is 7 years younger than her. I'm happy for her and she said she doesn't plan to marry anyways. I'm not against it or anything but thought wow. I know age or other things doesn't matter at all if they like each other.

I'm just a bit more traditional so I prefer someone older, I don't think I can date someone that is 7 years younger. My max age limits are 5 years older and never younger but I'll still be ok with one year younger (maybe). My 5 year older limit can be more than 5 as long as he doesn't look like an uncle.

I can't really imagine being with someone that is 7 years younger... She said he is the mature type so I guess it's ok? I saw his picture he doesnt look 7 years younger, similar to her age. I guess as long as that person matches you, it's fine. I mean tons of younger guys go for older gals. They are happy. Maybe I should change my limits too, if a young guy goes for me then I'll try it? I mean I look ok young, younger guys might think I'm their age?

I guess nothing matters as long as both have feelings for each other. If there are no feelings, it can't happen. Well, it can but it will take time.

To me I'll always have some kind of fear if I'm with someone that is much younger. He may leave me for someone younger. I might look like his sister or mother years later. Will my/his parents approve?

I know that same kind of fears can happen when you date people at any age but I don't know...

I told a friend about it and she said "well, I know they always say that age and race doesn't matter in a relationship as long as two people are willing to make it work. But part of us are a little selfish because we will always wonder what other people think of us. No one likes to be judged".

True, I feel like people will gossip. But there is nothing much we can do about that. As long as they are happy, who cares what other people think right?

Life is short. If you have feelings for each other, go for it! Worry later. Opportunities don't happen all the time, unless if you are that lucky.

Do you have any age limits?
