7 year age gap!

[paulakea]

Ok i know there are a lot of age gap questions on here!
Speaking from experience i used to go out with a guy 16 years older than me...it didn't work!!
Anyway my mate who is 26 has met a guy who is 19, hes left school, got a job etc
Is this a big gap, what do u think

Hmmm, i dont think its a big age gap when they are 19, as they should be a little more mature, having worked and experienced things. Obviously, there would be a mental age gap, but it all depends on what stuff they are both into...

Not really. I know a girl who is 25 going out with a mature 18 year old guy. They have the same interests, and are really happy togther. My friend is going out with a guy 15 years older.

As long as the 19 year old is quite mature, then I don't see it as a big age gap really.

My gorgeous fella is 10yrs my junior, & its fantastic! He has no children, no baggage, no beer belly, all his hair, so much stamina. But beyond all that he is a marvelous guy who I share an awful lot in common with, regardless of his age, I must admit I was a little apprehensive at first, with the whole dating thing. However people are people, & age, race, & suchlike are insignificant when you like someone, you should not let these things stand cloud your judgement XxX

A chap I knew won �2.3 million on the lottery he is in his late 50s, and his girl friend is in her mid twentys and she dosn't seem bothered about the age gap, and they both seem very happy
