SO is younger??

[lizzielove]

My SO is 20, and I'm 23. Our birthdays are three days apart, so we'll turn one year older the same week.
I hardly ever feel the age difference, since he's very mature and I'm still fun loving like people his age.
Do any of you feel your age difference? I'm curious to see what ways it affects your relationships. The only time I feel it is when he talks about liking video games a bit too much (Yes, video games are awesome, but seriously. Read a book.) and when I found out his parents still control the major things in his life (like him coming to see me). These aren't deal breakers, just reminders that he's still young, and I'm.....old.
Comments?

There's a 6 1/2 year age difference between my guy and I, he's older, and I barely feel the difference. The only time I feel it is when he goes into big brother mode and calls me 'kiddo' or acts very protective. Other than that he's just as immature as I am and I can stand up to his maturity quite easily. I find it funny.

My SO is almost 2 years older then me, and I love the age difference. We hardly notice it at all but he's had just that much more life experience and can help me out with things XD And we are both addicted to video games and play with eachother all the time, and we like mostly all the same things since we went to the same school and had almost the same group of friends... It's awesome.

My SO is 4 years younger, but our personalities are so similar that we never notice the difference.

My guy is 17, and I'm 20. He grew up very quickly, so in most ways, I think he's more mature than I am. I think that's partially what attracted me to him.

I'm 2 years younger for the first time ever in a relationship. Its interesting, because I always thought that one of the qualities I valued in a person was the 'perceived' innocence of youth, but as things are progressing between me and my SO I've realized that I'd much rather have someone who is a bit more mature

Not saying age defines maturity, but there is a definite trend towards increased maturity as age increases.

Mark is 10 years older then me We sometimes feel the age difference when he is asking me about something that happened when I was like 2..lol! Other then that, we are pretty much alike and I hardly even remember. Age means nothing to me, however i do like older men.

I'm three years older than my SO. It actually feels like he's older than me because he's been out in the world and I've led a pretty sheltered life, but most of the time, I don't think either of us pay attention to the age difference.

I think it's actually pretty cool.

Rane is 11 years younger than me. The only time I notice it, is when I think about how I've had my cat longer than he's been alive haha.

My SO is 10 years older than me.
I don't notice it much, besides that he of course has more life experience than me and that his life is a lot more "stable" than mine. Since he has a well paying job and I'm an university student.
Think I mostly feel the age difference when he offers to pay things for me, almost all the time.

But besides that I rarely notice any difference. I'm just not sure whether it's because I'm just as mature as him, or he is just as childish as me. A little of both maybe.

My SO is only one year older than me and seriously... thats not such a big difference xD
Furthermore we are exactly the same, except i am a bit more mature than him and need to push him down sometimes from his kiddie moments xD
