Neverside

LOL @ Rider...32? Pimp! I generally tend to stay close to my age, 19. I've gone younger but never more than 2 years younger than me.

Old enough to bleed, old enough to breed. Lol.

I was briefly with a 20-year-old woman (I'm 17) but it wasn't going to work out so well logistically. I mean, come on, me living with my parents just ain't cool. Oh well, maybe we'll both be available after I graduate in 10 months. Hopefully no excuses after that point. She actually got engaged week after leaving me, and then left her fiance the next week, and is now rebounding to a new boyfriend. Both of whom are around 8 years older than me, so they kind of have an unfair advantage. Oh well. What can you do, right?

Well.... no problem there, however when the age difference reaches the point of mother and son or father and daughter then it starts getting creepy

Discuss away.

Yes, I find it a bit creepy.
My parents were 19 years apart and it can give me the creeps if I think about it from an outside point of view, then add all the stuff i learned in psych classes.
I seen a lot of differences in my parents but only after the fact...

5 years is a good age difference and is especially helpful when people reach the golden age (senior).
Personally I dont think either gender should become emotionally attached to anyone until they are around 25, and again this is my personal preference.

Someone mentioned Love as the factor that sees no bounderies in age, which leaves me to query if Love is the immmediate emotional mantality or is Love developed over the course of a relationship?

I think love grows over a period of time, there is no love at first sight. Person will debate that yes, but most times it's to justify a relationship. (One with a much older person). I think 10 years should be the most

I cant totally agree with you on this point, Techgirl, only because I experienced 'Love at First Sight'. No justification required. People who have never experienced it cant contemplate it and therefore think it a farce, so to speak.
I will try to describe it to you....When you see the person for the first time, that little unknown feeling inside you, intuition, tells you, right off, they are the one for you, your heart & your mind knowingly agree; it's true, its rare, and it happens.
It's not the same feeling you get when you see a 'hottie' or the same feeling you get when you steal your first thing....okay so you borrowed it without asking and never returned it...LOL....but someday I hope you understand what I am saying...LOL

I have experience it. I got all the feelings you describe, but i realized after a few months that it couldn't work. Maybe i'm getting this wrong, but i think if you fall in love at first sight then it should work out. So for me no matter how you feel at 'first sight' it all goes back to love growing over a period of time.

I dated a 21-year-old lithuanian named Jurgita when I was 16. She was probably the hottest girl I've ever had. And that accent, Ohhhhhh my God it was heaven. But that's the biggest age difference I've ever gone, didn't last past the summer. And I wouldn't touch a 16-YO girl if i was 21. For some reason that seems wrong. I don't know why though...
