Does Age Really Matter For A Romantic Relationship? by Nobody: 3:58pm On Jan 01, 2018
I'm 21 (22 by feb 4th). I met this girl whom I really liked back then. I stayed on her matter from the day i saw her till I graduated. Went back to school later last year for my clearance and asked her out again and when she was on the verge of saying 'yes' the issue of 'age' came up. She's a year older and held that against us happening.. It really broke my heart though. I tried explaining why I think age doesn't matter but my words fell on deaf ears.

Problem now is that, I'm almost 22, a graduate and those I come across are mostly older than I am and it's killing me.

Does age really matter? Can't she just be older?!

that age difference is too small to matter as long as you dont want something very long lasting.
you must keep your age to yourself in the near future.
and NO. she just cant be older. coz gals mature faster than boys. your maturity level at 22 is roughly equal to that of a 17 yr old gal. and if she is 23, then her maturity match is a man of about 28. girls are about 5 yrs ahead of men in terms of maturity (physical,mental,sexual) .

Maybe you don't present yourself emotionally and psychologically mature as She'd expected.

This is where to start from: Conversation

Whenever you are around her,talk lesser about mundane and irrelevant issues.Engage her maturely,tell her to share her dreams with you.Don't over-do things and act all clingy.

You can join the beardGANG too! cheesy

Age matters in a relationship. If you want it to last. Even if you want to hit and run. What if you meet someone that wants to settle down and you assured her that age is not a problem only for the story to change in future?

Age doesnt really matter, she's just looking for an excuse not to date you besides both of your ages are not far apart.

No it doesn't, understanding and maturity which has little to do with age matters alot.

I'm gonna be following you bumper to bumper today.

dear Mr op, age is overrated.
she's a year older? you're very much in line, the difference is not gonna be conspicuous.

some of us actually like them older.

any man that is well to do, is old enough to date his mate. life has thought me that; its not about being of age, but about being of stage(financial maturity). with this your age(21yrs) and your financial stage, I must admit age is a barrier cos both of u can't settle down as couple in the future. u just graduated, u should channel more of your effort in making money, or dating a younger girl u can marry in 5 or 10yrs time and not dating your aunty.

Does age really matter? Can't she just be older?!

Take an older woman to your mother's house for marriage her reaction is your final answer

Lol bro is obviously new in the game.

See during my mad days I never dated someone I was older than, they were all older than me the closest I've ever had was same year. She was born 23rd may and i was July 22. Still she respected me as though I was her father.

The secret?

Wait for it.....

LIES!

It's the most illogical potent weapon to dating older women.

See them ladies would never respect you if they knew they were older than you. Their ego won't let most of them, it's almost natural in most of em.

Don't say your age first, trick them to always say theirs first grin. And then Interpolate and add numbers to your real age


That's how I dated one aunty back then in my 2nd year or so in school.

Babe got mad curves. The day she told me her age my heart flew grin I had to compose myself back again and added 6years on top of my age.

The rest was history grin

You are welcome grin
