Your 20 and he or she is 32. Is the age difference to vast to have a relationship.? Does it change if either sex is the older?

I'm not sure really. I've heard that when there is a big difference in ages between the man and the woman that they tend to have less in common. I guess a lot of it also had to do with who the two people are. I'm not sure if a relationship would really work between a 20 year old and a 32 year old. There would be such a huge difference in the level of maturity.

I agree with you. I truly believe their interests would be to far apart. I don't believe my intersts were the same at 20 as 32. At 20 I was deeply involved in sports, running around, school, little responsibility, living day to day and once I got married there was a period of adjustment. I didn't get married till I was 28 so I had slowed down somewhat. I had a job, planned for the future and thought less of play and more ofwhat the future held.

Well, there's a 14-year age gap between my parents, so it can work. :)

They met when my mother was 23 and my Dad was 37.

My parents are also friends with a couple who have a 16-year age gap between them.

Age is simply mind over matter.

It depends on two things, if the younger person is mature enough to handle a relationship with in older person and if the older person can handle being with younger person.

I totally agree.

As long as the two individuals are over 18, I don't think any age difference is out of bounds. Nobody is going to tell me who I should love!!

That's a good way of putting it too, LOL! :)

Sure it could work. Just takes the right two people.

It can work with the right people but in most cases it probably wouldn't work.

It's not so much the 12 year age difference, if the people were 40 and 52 I don't think there would be that much trouble. The bigger issue I think would be that at 20 you're still searching for your identity. It would be hard to be in a relationship with someone who's already been through their 20's and figured out who they are.

I'm a hypocrite when it comes to this age-old question. I do believe in the notion of "maturity and individuality over the age number," but I personally tend to have a problem with it when it comes down to me. I don't like too young or too old. Then again, I have my personal reasons over why I don't want it for me. It's too long to just sit and describe in public, so I'll just leave it at that.

I think it could work. You can't really help who you feel for and age shouldn't really matter. Jason and I are 7 years apart, and born in different decades. He was born in 78 and I was born in 85. Really the only difference is some of the music we enjoy. We both love Classical Rock, but he loves the earlier 90s bands and I love the more Now stuff. Not a big deal.

thank you! that is what i always say, age is just a number if you are over 18.

see, my man is 57 and i am 21, that is a 36 year difference, but we both are very mature and we have tons in common. some older/younger relationships work out and some just don't.

I think that's awesome Strawberry Cupcake!!! My girlfriend is also much much older than me. she's beautiful, and I wouldn't want anyone else. If people don't like it, they can ki.... well, I think they all know what they can do. You only live one life, just be happy, and be with the one you love.

for real, people are always like ewww how can you be with someone who is old enough to be your grandfather. i just tell em' the man can work it much better then any guy my own age and it's the love that counts.

great to see someone else who is seeing someone much older then them. :)

Hey speaking of your girlfriend, when are we going to see some pics of her?

Well, as I mentioned in quite a few threads, my older sister is very serious with her boyfriend at the moment. When they met, my sis just turned 18 and he was about to turn 35. They met at church and had been friendly parishioners for yeears but when she turned 18, he admitted his feelings for her and they started going out. They're very serious now and even talking about marriage. I think age has nothing to do with a relationship (as long as it's not illegal). I think it has to do with the people involved. If they have a lot in common and love each other, it should work out. :)

Once I get a digital camera, or I get a whole role of film filled on one of those throw away cameras. LOL!! Wish I had digital. then I could just take pics whenever I felt like. I have a pic of her by herself that I can send you, just not one with me yet.

I don't see anything wrong with it. They're both over 18, so why should it matter?
