SO is younger??

[Snowy.Winter]

I'm 19 and my SO is 22, so there's three years difference between us. When we first started going out, I was 14 and he was 17, so I had to grow up faster, because I didn't want him thinking I am an immature fourteen year old, but I've always had a sensible, mature piece in me. And now, we don't notice the difference, he can be a little immature, but so can I

There's a year and a half between my boyfriend and I. People point it out like it's a bad thing, but I'm like.. It doesn't matter to us so why should we care? I love him so much. Just because I'm 16 and he's 15.. Like. What difference does that make.

My SO is 3 days younger than I am. I'm such a cougar..

My boyfriend is one year and one week (to the exact day!) younger than me and not only that, while I have been living on my own and been financially independent for 3,5 years now, he's still living with his parents and the longest he has been out of his city was 3 months. So we have somewhat different life experience, too. When he first told me I was a bit shocked that he was born in the same year as my "little brother" (my brother is only 16 months younger than me).
But I don't feel it at all really. Maybe he's just naturally wise and mature, whereas I had to move out and around to become so.

Most of my (girl) friends have (much) older boyfriends, though. So at least around my friends, we're quite a huge exception :-/

He's 25, and I'm 20. Personally, I feel it(which is what led me into this conundrum...). I live at home with parents while going to college, will be going to law school. He's already been out and independent for 5 yrs, and thus has a lot more life experience and wisdom. When I'm actually around him I don't feel it-he's, for being streetwise, quite clumsy at times. Somehow managed to stick the last page of his letter to the envelope itself, and didn't know it till I said it! Has no directional sense, haha. But when we're apart I consider all of these things.

That made me giggle

wow! im 23 n my SO is 20 too. to tell the true, i hardly feel the difference too, hes actually more mature than me, in some things thou, the thing is that we still learning from each other. n he even looks older than i do, people always thinks i look like 19 or 20, that feels good thou =)

We have an age gap of 5 years ^^;

I really don't notice it much unless I start whining about school or something then he gets all fatherly like and makes me do all the things I don't really wanna, other than that we're both pretty immaturely mature ^^

Pretty much dead on 7.5 years between me and my SO (I'm 26, she's 19). This makes our relationship indecent according to the "half your age plus seven" rule, but it'll become decent in a couple of years. We notice it fairly often but it's just funny more than anything. For example, I told her about playing games over dial-up with friends when I was at school and how we used to make levels for it; she replies "I was three". Have a good attitude about it and it's more humour than anything else.

We are both 20 but I'm older than him for 8 months... and it doesn't really bother me. I know it's not a huge age difference compared to other people but even if it was, it doesn't matter.. as long as you're in love, who cares?!

My SO is 33 and I'm turning 23 in about a week. There have been a few people that were shocked by the age gap, but I've found some people that have been very supportive. Those are the people that I want to keep in my life. I've also been very lucky that I have friends with even larger age gaps that are making it work, even if they aren't in an LDR. It still gives me hope.

My SO is 3 years older than me (as a guy, I'm the girl. I know my name's kinda confusing...) There's a lot of ways it affects us, mainly in two ways.
He really has no issue with it. I feel I'm very mature for my age but still these issues are things I'm only concerned with, but not him.
1.) He's in college still dating someone in high school. I feel like people view him differently because of it and that I'm holding him back sometimes.
2.) I feel constantly judged. I've always been the one in school to not fall into the high school drama but whenever it's brought up, I feel like instantly people can't take me seriously anymore. Not in my family or social life...it's very hard. And apparently, dating someone that much older is skanky. Because apparently being in 4 out of 8 classes together in high school meant nothing....

There's a 2 year age difference. He's 37 and I'm 39. I can't tell a difference, but he's surely wise beyond his years.

[Petersgirl]

My SO is 8 years older than me. Our personalities matching is more important than our age matching.

It doesn't feel like there is any significant difference between us because of age. Only sometimes we notice when, for example, we're talking about music we grew up with or something like that.
