For those of you who are 18 and are dating/in a relationship with someone 20+, did you ever thought of how it would be like with the men in your age?

Question

Have you? I'm just curious because every time I tell people I'm dating a 20+ man they just always say: "There are so many guys in your age.. why do that?!" Like as if I'm missing out on something, what is it really?

Answer

Once a police officer told me to not date anyone that was under 25. He said those are boys and immature. 
I was 20 at the time. Granted, he was talking to me because I was involved in a 4 year DV relationship. But, it stuck with me.
I just turned 22 and my boyfriend is 26 almost 27.

Answer

Men your age are immature. If you’re looking for a fling, then yeah it’s cool. But if you want a RELATIONSHIP? Keep it going with your man. You’re not missing out.

Answer

Im 19 and my bf is 26. Age doesn’t matter as long as the love is real. But don’t let people’s opinions affect you, its your life not theirs

Answer

I met my guy when I was 18 an he was 24. We were crazy and moved in together after 2 weeks and got a lot of skepticism but the truth is we didn't/don't feel like we rushed. It's all about what feels right for you guys. (Now I'm 24 and he's 30, 6 years of perfection!)

Answer

When I first started dating, I always dated men that were older than me because the guys my age were immature. Then after I had my son at 18, I knew that dating someone my age wouldn’t work because I wanted someone that was mature enough to handle the fact that I was a mother. Then I met my current SO. He is just a little over a year older than me which I wasn’t used to but he is the best thing to happen to me and my son. 
It is all based upon your preference so don’t let someone tell you to date someone that is your age if you prefer older. Nothing wrong with it. Men take longer to mature than women.

Answer

I was in a long relationship with a guy who was the same age as me. We started dating shortly after I turned 18. The relationship became abusive and just horribly toxic. To the point where I no longer loved him and I simply resented him. When I ment my current boyfriend I was 19 and he is 23. Being with an older guy really helped not only my confidence but my feeling of self worth. I am with someone now who is not afraid of commitment and is not a boy anymore. He had taken care of situations with my ex that had truly shown the difference between a boy and man. We have been living together for roughly 4 months and together 9 months and t was the best decision I have ever made! Do whatever makes you the most happy!

Answer

I’m 18 turning 19 in August and on Tuesday will be my one year anniversary with my 21 year old boyfriend. I’ve always dated guys a grade above me because I could never deal with people my age. I’ve just been more mature I guess. If you love him, fuck what others think.
