Me and my boyfriend are 7 years apart. im 16 hes 23. is that wrong? am i to young to date a guy thats older than me?

Wow, I have the same problem.
Yet sadly, I'm 13 & he's 19. Its pretty pathetic when you're put down for it. But, I don't believe you're ever too young to find someone.

i mean he can get into a lot of trouble for child molestation or rape but if no one cares and no one calls on him then no one has to no jus wait it off til ur 18 then u can do whatever u want i mean dont break up with him but take it slow and if no one knows then keep it that way u know

It illegal for you to have sex with him.

No, I don't think you are too young. Seven years may seem a lot now, but when you're older a 7 year difference it not that big a deal, eg. when you're 31 he'll be 38, and there's nothing wrong with that

I have that situation too. and I dont think that is a problem... you like him, and he like you... you have one life...you should be happy...

Wow I'm having the same problem. She just turned 14 and i'm about to turn 21. But we love each other sooooo much. I met her at my church that i just moved to and she's been going there since she was 4. She is like my exact twin (except she's female). I told her i would wait for her to turn 17-18 b4 we started dating and let the majority of ppl know.

When I was 16-18, I dated guys who were 23, 24, and 28. I don't believe there is anything wrong with it, as long as it's consentual and nobody gets hurt. My only caution is that sometimes people use each other for different things (sex, cars, status, money, etc) and then it really isn't fair to the other person. But since you have been together for so long, I doubt that's the case.

I have one final thought, you both may grow up together and stay in love for many many years... Or you may grow up and find that you have evolved into different personalities and that you want to date other people instead of each other. Either way, it's ok. You live your life in the way that seems best to you. These experiences make you who you are and who you will be in the future.

Me and my boyfriend are 7 years apart too...i am 16 and he is 23...same as you. He met me when I was 15 and we agreed to go out together until i was 16 just incase some nonsense law got us in trouble. He waitied patiently for me, and we've been together officially about a year now, just nearing my 17th birthday. We are madly in love, and though some people who don't know us personally make critisms, which i can understand from their point of view...after a while, they simply just have to like it or lump it. Anyone who saw us together for any period of time can tell we are on the same wave-length.

Also, Uk laws are f'd up. Apparently a 16yr old boy can get jailed for sleeping with a 15yr old girl...but a 60yr olf pensioner can sleep with a 16yr old girl legally.

Thats England for you.

If you are happy, don't let anyone take that away from you..just be careful...because i know, love can be decieving at first, so don't sacrifice too much or you may end up trapped in something you can't escape from!

that age differance is ok when you are older but there is a huge differance in the maturity of a 16 year old and a 23 year old (i would hope) mabey date a guy your own age and wait till your older to date guys seven years older than you. would you date a 9 year old boy?

Wow I'm having the same problem. She just turned 14 and i'm about to turn 21. But we love each other sooooo much. I met her at my church that i just moved to and she's been going there since she was 4. She is like my exact twin (except she's female). I told her i would wait for her to turn 17-18 b4 we started dating and let the majority of ppl know.

Im in the same position, im 16 and my boyfriend is 22. we've been seeing each other for nearly 12 months now and im pretty certain were going to be together for a long time. The only thing is my parents dont approve of him because of the age, but they've never even met him and wont give him a chance so we've been sneaking around. we have been caught a few times but have always carried on, things are now starting to get harder but we both really want to be together. I am thinking of moving in with him in the new year but fear what my mum will do. can i legally move out with him?

would appreciate some advice :)

no im will be 16 in december and my boyfriend just turned 21 in september. there is NOTHING wrong with. the only problem with me is that my mother wont let me be with him b/c he is dominican i think ths why any way. but i told her he is 19 and she sSTILL wont let us be together. so i have to sneak out so he can pick me up every weekend and when i come home i tel my mother i was with one of my friends. she told me she thinks im wiht him but if she cared so much she would have done something about it already. thts wht she did with my ex-boyfrind he was about to be 18 and i was 15. omg if i tell you everything it will be a 5 chapter book so imma stop here. any way as long as nobody finds out youguys will be good until your 18. the two years will go by fast. trust me. does your parents kno?

i think it is completely fine to be with someone that is older than you!! i am 17 and my boyfriend is 24!! even though as of now it is a secret to my parents, we find nothing wrong with it!! they say girls mature faster than guys which i beleive is true and if we are younger and can handle the ways of 24 year olds so be it and let us be happy with god gives us.

but if some one would like to say how they came about telling their parents your boy friend is 7-8 years older than you i'd be more than willing to know!!

Okay woops actually we are 5 years and 9 months apart my bad

I have the same problem... he's 20, i'm 13... i think he likes me, and I definitely like him... we'll just have to see if it works out, cause he's living at my house for 8 weeks. (he's an exchange student)

its ok in now days women r datin younger guys n men r datin younger gurl witch its ok ur ok dnt worry hugs n kisses2u

i have the same issue, but we have decided to wait 2 and a half years till i am 18 to date, bacause he doesnt want to go behind my parents backs, he is so nice and caring and deticated he will wait that long.
i know that we love eachother because of the feelings we get, and that is how peolpe know.
i dont think it is wrong having a bf 7 years older because i think we grow more mature with them, but make sure he treats you well.
good luck! (: x

i am in the same situation, but he really repects my parents and has decided to wait for me to turn 18 which is two and half years away. but he is very dedicated and is going to wait for me. i didnt think it was wrong, but he didnt want to go behind my parents backs. if they found out he even loved me they would go crazy. i dont think 7 years is too old, maybe 12 years is, but i think you become more mature with older guys

It depends on the maturity level I don't see anything wrong with it I'm 16 and my boyfriend is twenty three he treats me well and my parents approve of it just please be careful if u guys are having sex,because he could get in a lot of trouble if anyone finds out,I worry about my boyfriend getting in trouble all the time but my parents are ok with it so it really doesn't matter.he has promised to marry me when I turn 18 and we are going to start our life together. It is considered illigal in some states so just be careful. I'm 16 and madly in love with my 23 year old boyfriend,the age isn't going to matter in a few years that's what I always tell people who give me hell. So if u love him keep ur head held high and ignore any rude comments do what u feel is right :) good luck

Well my boyfriend and I are 7 years apart as well...I`m 17 and he just turned 24 as of today....Although we are "taking a break"...We still act like we are a couple because we still have feelings for each other...I love him very much, but sometimes when I sit and think about it, I wonder if I should really be in a relationship with someone who is 7 years older than me...We are taking a break right now not because of age difference but because we are both not ready to be in a relationship but still have feelings for each other so we decided we would wait until we are ready...although the only problem with that is that we still completely act like we are going out lol...we just cant seem to get away from each other because we love each other so much, its really hard...I really don't want to get hurt and neither does he....The age difference hasn`t come to my mind in a very long time...I`ve never even thought of it, until last night when I went to his 24th birthday party and it occurred to me just how much older he really is than me....I wonder what other people think about this and I would love some feedback...I don't want to lose him...but I am wondering what the future has in store for him...and what he will want to do, as far as marriage and other things, because I am totally not ready for that...I`m only 17
