Question - (10 August 2010) 5 Answers - (Newest, 10 August 2010)
A male South Africa age 36-40, *omer23 writes:

Hey guys.

I'm currently in love with a girl that is 17 years old, and i'm 25 years old. I've known her for almost a year now, and i'm still madly in love with her. When we met, she was still dating someone else, but she told me that she wants to be with me. Okay, so finally they broke up recently, and i want to start getting involved...but how do i do this? I mean...is our age difference a major problem? We get along REALLY well...and we're constantly smiling and have those secret stares and stuff. Her parents love to bits...i just don't want her to feel awkward with the "whole age difference" thing? Any advice please???

tonik agony auntAge shouldn't be a problem, just ask the girl if she's okay with it or not, but I don't think that's important, as long as you guys are happy together then don't stress and one other thing, don't care what people will say, you wanna build an intimate relationship with your girl, not them. People will always talk no matter what.

Someone a long time ago told me for men the floor is given by half your age plus seven. Seemed ridiculous to me when he told me, but sure seems applicable the older I get.

I myself am in an age-difference relationship. We have an age gap or 9 years. We met when I was 17 and he was 26. It took me more then a year to realize that age doesn't matter. If you are happy and want to be together then go for it. Don't let this thing stop you.

7 years really isnt that much of an age gap and if you get on good then shouldn't that be all that matters. maybe try talking to her see how she feels about the hole age gap thing

There is also an age difference between my boyfriend and I. We've been together for almost two years now, though our age gap isn't as big as yours we're still very much happy! Age is just a number, you guys like each other go for it!
