Is age just a number?

How do you feel about relationships and age gaps. Do you think an 11 year age difference is to much?

I think it depends

I think the age gap depends on how old you are. When you're a teenager (like 13-18) I think one or two years should be the maximum gap because at that age, maturity develops so rapidly that a 14 year old and an 18 year old would be on completely different mindsets and stages of their lives so I feel like a relationship between them, despite only a 4 year gap, wouldn't be very healthy. When youre in university (18-22) I think up to 4 years can be OK, depending on your maturity and your way of living. Someone who is in second year of undergrad VS someone only 4 years older but did college and has been living on their own for the past 3 years with a full time job would be completely different and that could cause problems. on the other hand, a 4 year gap with one in undergrad and the other in a masters program could work better. then I think after late 20s up to 10-15 years maximum is fine!

You are only as old as you feel

As you get older age becomes less and less important I think.

Of Course! as long as your heart and mind are young and childish, You're never too old.
Love your self the way you are the colour you are!

Age who cares .

If a person tells you they are say 45 and they look 45 if you have no reason to doubt what they have stated and you have a relationship for a while and they suddenly say .oh by the way im 54 .you wouldnt think oh my god your to old .age is just a label im 52 but if a person 62 asked me out and i was attracted to that person id be off .if you have simular interests and things in common life is to short to compare be alone what ever who ever go for it x

depends on mentality.

It is not about age it is about being in a similar place in life. I am 23 on the 11th and he is 45 but we have such a similar mindset of just wanting to live happily even when things don't go well that we clicked. I am reminded of his age when we talk about social media because he is clueless. He is reminded of mine when he asks if I had seen certain movies. But the core of it is can you have a meaningful conversation for more than 30 minutes at a time on a regular basis. If so regardless of age give it a try if you feel chemistry. Our 22 year age difference does not bother me in the least.

Age

I think Age shouldn't be a barrier if you enjoy someone's company. People have different outlooks and some younger people are far wiser than older. I think if as two people you have things you agree on or reach compromise then all good.

Depends on certain factors. The age of both parties and the age difference. I think if one's going to partake in a relationship where one of the party is considerably older both parties need to be on a level playing field re: life experience, financial aspect and such. I'd say 25 and above is good for this. Any younger and I'll be giving the older person severe side eye and wondering what they're wanting with a young'un. For example, a man in his thirties with a woman in her early twenties - nope, that's concerning for me. And vice versa. You're in two very different areas of life - there's a power dynamic situation here.

It depends

It depends on how old the people in question are. If it is a 29 year old with a 40 year old, i think it's fine! But a 25 year old with a 14 year old isn't.. I think when you're older, it doesn't matter, as people face different stages of their lives at different ages. For example, I know people my age who are no where near ready to settling down, but I know loads who are. So as long as 2 people are at the same stage, i don't think it matters.
