Does age matter when it comes to love?

I think age does matter to a certain extent but with how old you are and how old he is if you two are happy then why not, love is love but the line has to be drawen when one person is like 25 and the other person is like 14, that is one line you should never cross.

I'm mid 20s and my boyfriend is 25 years older than me. It's hard at times but I can usually handle negative reactions from others. I wouldn't have been able to at 18 though. I feel I was still very much a child then and I view most others I have met the same way. So I'd be worried about your friend's motives because I personally don't think he should be dating a teenager. But you could be very mature for all I know. Good luck.

I think age does matter to a degree.

Obviously, there are going to be differences regarding experience and maturity between a 27 year old and a 51 year old and not everyone is able to communicate that mine-field.

I see it being difficult for a woman who wants kids and is 27 to be with a man who has already done the family thing and is divorced and enjoying his freedom. Even love couldn't overcome those kind of problems.

However, I don't think that age always matters and I think a good couple with the same priorities and goals with good communication skills will work out, regardless of age. The only problem is that age (being that experience comes with age) is often a factor.

As with any aspect of a relationship, it's difficult to gauge whether or not a relationship will be successful when only one factor is taken into consideration and for this question, we're only really talking about a few factors (age, maturity, experience).

I honestly don't think age matters. I've had crushes on many girls, but the first and the only girl that I actually fell in love with was 14 and I was almost 18. We never dated, and the age might have been the reason she rejected me, but what I felt for her was REAL. I've never felt anything like it before. So no, I don't believe that age matters when it comes to love because I can guarantee you I loved her. Too bad it never worked out.

I would usually say that it's normal, but gay people have that weird thing where middle-aged gay people run halfway houses for gay runaway kids. That's what this sounds like.

Kids running away from their families to live with some 30-ish gay man just strikes me as really wrong. I don't know if sex is involved in such a relationship, but one can only assume that it is.

I don't think 18 and 34 is a big age difference, and I'm about your age. Maybe 15 and 60 would not work out, but a guy that's 34? No problem at all.

I think age does not really matter in a relationship...

But seriously people... HOW CAN YOU BE TOO DUMB TO ASK A QUESTION WE CAN ACTUALLY ANSWER WITH YES OR NO???

I don't think it matters as long as you're both either adult or both teens/children so imho you guys are completely alright if you love each other

Depends if you're top or bottom, if you're top its gonna work out perfect for both of you, but if you're bottom, in 15 years you wont be so happy with him. Of course if its a short thing then its not a problem either way.

age is just a number

as far as i know love is just a feeling which can be felt any where any way with one... it has no limits !! and age has never been a great deal of concern to it...
however after you have felt it there's along course of things you have to consider as to how getting together will turn up and effect your life..positively or negatively?? and it is only then a person should put together all estimates to ensure peaceful and lovely life as if there any kind of wrong decision is taken than all what happens in your life is crap!! -> misunderstanding, arguments and disorganize ...
the bigger the difference of age the more difference in thoughts , experiences and interests...

so cutting to the chase LOVE DOESN'T LOOK AT AGE BUT IT IS WE WHO SHOULD ANALYZE THAT IT REALLY IS AN EFFECTING FACTOR !!

It depends on which part of the planet you live.
