Dating a younger guy. by thepal: 12:01am On May 31, 2010
Hi all,
I just discovered i am two years older than my boyfriend but he does not know yet. Should i tell him now? Guys do you think he will mind?

@ poster,

age is mere number all that matters is what you both hold for each other but i think it's better you let him know before it's too late, if he feels he can cope with the age difference good for both of you, if not, find you square root

@OP, you've got to tell him, how he'll react is only known to him. Don't keep such a big secret from him.

If u dont want to lose him, dont tell because most Nigerians aint cool with this. Make sure u marry him first. In fact, never u tell him
Re: Dating a younger guy. by Suks: 2:12pm On May 31, 2010
its ok for u to tell him, he actually might nt mind, but luking at marriage , u guyz must be prepared for wat the future holds, if he doesnt mind, wat about his parents, , his friends and family. can he cope wen u start growing wrinkles and he still luking charming cos he is younger,

There re some 50yr old women who look like 30. My mom is 60 but u'll think she's 40. It all depends on the way u maintain ur looks. . .
@porter. U have to let him know now cos if he finds out on his own he'll be wondering what else u're hidding. . . Don't be afraid of loosing because good things never get away. . .

the term older should be used when the age gap is actually something to talk about, c'mon its just two years you aint even 'older'. ou should tell him tho, just so he knows your age, wait how come u 'just found out' u mean he's been lying to you?

shocked r u for real, it's a two year gap, nothing spectacular in that,

@ all u who think the age gap is a problem please advise why that is. Age is nothing but a number, if the girl/guy is suitably matured, practices good sense and has all the qualities that one is looking for in a partner why should the age be a deal breaker. Unless, if the woman is of a matured age, where child bearing is compromised, then may be age can be considered, IF THE GUY still wants children.

Nothing wrong with dating a younger guy. But be warned, there'll always be those moments when you are reminded that you come from different times and dont say I didnt warn you.
Re: Dating a younger guy. by Nobody: 3:36pm On May 31, 2010

Re: Dating a younger guy. by Geegirly: 4:26pm On May 31, 2010
first of all find out if he realy love u, befor u know what to do if he love u more than u do then u need to tell him but if not don't even tried it because he will surly brack your heart.
Re: Dating a younger guy. by indie22(f): 10:28pm On May 31, 2010
I'd say tell him, if he loves you enough it won't matter.
Re: Dating a younger guy. by krazynaija(m): 11:46pm On May 31, 2010
Age doesnt matter, if you tell him n he leaves you it means he never loved you anyway , But wait first! you have been dating n you guys dunno each others age? LWKMD! LMAO!

Re: Dating a younger guy. by innerchild(m): 4:23pm On Jun 01, 2010
THERE IS NOTHING WRONG IN DATING A YOUNGER GUY HENCE BOTH OF YOU LOVE EACH OTHER.
NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THAT OK!!
Re: Dating a younger guy. by Lovei1: 6:44pm On Jun 14, 2010
Mr, You need to take note that the emotional feelings attached to love at the early stage will dim, when age issue will come in.
When that time comes, you would love to see her as your wife and not you being seen as her boy.
It will be wise and in your own interest to marry a lady a bit your than you are.

Dating : sure you can date anyone or mama anyone of all age ,size and colour.
cheers

@Mayflowa - What the hell are you talking about? If I understand you correctly, you are saying she should build her whole life on a lie??    
Re: Dating a younger guy. by delagasky(m): 8:06pm On Jun 15, 2010
I suggest u tell him, he wont mind at first, but most likely will have an issue with it in future. I mean what if u guys have an argument and u decide to stand ur ground, wont he think ur acting up ur older? But still tell him, at least for ur rest of mind
Re: Dating a younger guy. by Nobody: 8:18pm On Jun 15, 2010
Am kinda getting confused here,what do u guys men by if he is a nigerian? As far as am concern nigerians guys never like their luv ones to be older than them, it is just like tradition
Re: Dating a younger guy. by homealone0: 11:08pm On Jun 15, 2010
Well age is mere number but love has alot to do in this situation, Kindly find a means to tell him and make sure you go along in amicable form not aggressive way please, love has alots to do in someones life, Please if you love him and you see strong feelings that he love you aswell, Tell him and make things easy with eachother, I wish having older woman in mylife very soon, I am tired of scandal young girls, I need older woman or lady that's matured in all ways in life, I have things we can build up and make life meaningful, It's a promise
Re: Dating a younger guy. by Nobody: 11:15pm On Jun 15, 2010
Lol
Re: Dating a younger guy. by Tcrack(m): 3:56am On Jun 16, 2010
i can date a woman who is at most 7 years older. but marriage, i cant even marry a woman my age. the truth is, women age faster.
