depends on the age of the partners 5 years as a teenager is a massive gap compared to 5 years at the age of 40
-
the main factor? no. i think what is "okay" is really dependent upon you though. everyone is different and only you know what stage of life you are in.

Okay age differences vary on the type of relationship it is. A peer is defined as someone about the same age with the same level of maturity.I think chronological age shouldn't be the factor. Maturity age should be.BUT..if you are somewhere like 10 years apart then the thing you have to worry about is experience.Do you both connect and feel ok about how far you are apert chronologically?If so, go on.If not, find someone else. Its all up to you and how the both of you feel within the relatinship.Society made the age difference a subject. Don't think you have to follow it. Ofcourse, if you are 18 and the other is 55, then yeah, it might seem weird and who the both of you are will probably vary greatly and the relationship is likely to suffer.And in my opinion, Star signs mean Jack Squat.Silly Superstitions

Under 20 and over 16: 2 years or less. To me, it seems like exploitation if the older partner is anything more than 4 years older than the youngest partner. Over 20 it is all dependent on how mature the younger person is and how easily they get along with the older partner. I happen to think that age is only a number in that respect.

10-15 years is okay. Anymore than that and you're getting into too wide a range of genration "gaps". IMO
-
Divide the oldest persons age by 2 and then add 7 (according to xkcd)
-
As long as its legal.
-
Techically, any age is okay as long as both are consenting adults. But I think anything over 12-14 yrs or so and I start to wonder...
-
That really depends on the couple, who's to say as long as they're both adults!
-
Never unless it is considered illegal.
-
For a while, I did. Now I don't.
-
No. It's irrelevant.
-
Depends on how much of an age difference. Not really, but it's obviously going to make a difference.

The only time it seems to matter is if an 18 year-old is dating a 24 year-old, but then in retrospect it is fine for a 40 year-old to be married to/dating a 34 year-old. And that whole 'statutory rape' stuff kind of matters too...
-
not if both are adults, as everyone has different maturity levels, tastes and both are able to consent. if the ages difference makes one an adult and one a child then it wrong, no question. personally i wouldnt date anyone younger than me, but that may be because im 20 and being younger would make it a bit weird.

My wife is 6 years older than me and she has taught me so much about alot. Being more mature, acting more respectful and paying attention to people in groups. How to raise a child, how to perform in bed ect. I think more young people should get involved older people lol.
-
I personally do. I would prefer my partner to be at most 5 years younger than me, and I would be comfortable with a guy who's up to 10 years older than me. But that's just when it comes to picking, you can't really pick whom you fall for
-
I can't. I'm 21 years older than my wife
-
Not unless it goes the 5 year gap.
-
Nope, I'm 27, my bloke is 23. Works alright.
-
Depends on the age a person is. 10 years difference is not a big thing when you're in your 50's, or even 40's. 10 years is a HUGE difference when one of the people are in their 20's or teens.
-
gues a max of 7-8 iz fine... i mean eithr wayz... but the best wud be if itz les than 3-4... peace!!!

It depends. My grandmother's husband, who was my grandfather, was 20 years older than she. He died at the age of 40 and she lived to be 96 without remarrying again. So apparently they were very much in love. It lasted until the end of both of them.
