 hey! 6 years is fine in my opinion. my cousin is currently going out with someone who's 5 years older than her and they are really happy together. also it will seem less of a difference as you get older (e.g. 20 and 26) good luck and i hope you are happy together :) xxxxx

 I don't think age gaps matter... It's how they make you feel.
If they treat you well then it shouldn't matter about the age. You should definitely go for it if they make you feel happy... that is the most important thing. :)

 i don't think the age gap is that important... especially when its not that big of an age gap... but i do have to say that it depends on a person... when i first turned 18, i had a fling with a 25 year old... at points, it would become kind of serious for both of us... but the age thing made him feel weird... and he knew his family would FREAK if they found out... so we were kind of left a secret... so you just have to ask yourselves if it feels right to you...

 Hi
I agree, don't worry about it. My husband is 8 years older than me, so we have a bigger age gap. We met when I was 21, so not much older than you are now.
So do enjoy your relationship and don't worry about things too far ahead - if it's meant to be.....

Age gaps are generally only a problem if both of you are living in different worlds and don't want to change. Sometimes it can be a problem when the two of you are of different generations, but that's more a matter of society and it's expectations, or one or the other person set in their ways. If you care and are committed, you can deal with most anything. If you love each other, the question goes away.
Have fun!

 o my god, girl...your boy isnt too old for you! my boyfriend is also a lot older, and age has never been an issue for us. As long as you are legal age you can date any guy older than you. What differnce does it make if you like each other?....and if you ask me i like guys who are more mature and experienced anyway.

 There isn't that big an age gap only 6 years and you are both mature adults.I personally think a realationship would work out fine between you both the only problem yu might have is trying to convince your parents!But you should both be very happy together!

 I don't think age matters as long as both of you are legally adults (18 yrs and older). Both are considered adults and are expected to be able to control your decisions (unlike a teenager). The only thing that should matter is the love and feelings you have between each other. Don't let a negative comment doubt if your relaionship will work, just the way that he treats you and acts wit you.
A relationsip with an older guy is the same as a relationship with a guy the same age as you, just that he's more experienced and probably more mature. In my opinion, your age difference is not that big. One of my parent's friends have an age gap of 15 years, she being the oldest, and their relationship is a loving one.
Don't base the question of "will my relationship work?" based on age. Base it on your interaction with your guy, your thoughts, your compatability. Hope your relationship will prosper, and good luck.

I had a boyfriend 7 years older than me when I was 16 - that was a problem with my parents, as you can imagine.I dont think that your ages would be a problem, you are both adults, he just has a few more years life experience, if you like him, go for it.
