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

Age matter o. You may not see the effect at the starting point but at the long run must be noticed especially in marriage . I know a friend who's 6 years older than his wife but you hardly get convinced he's older . Women age easier

I don't want to hit and run. I've never done that all in want is a rich woman who will accept me for who I am. I am not lazy but currently going through some difficulty. I will open up to the person everything she need to know. If that person is here kindly call me on 08062593234 .

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) .


So correct. I independently arrived at this result too.

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

Thank you oh. My Nigga keeps deceiving himself. Older ladies are usually happy when younger guys woo them. It shows they are still Hot in the market

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.

Not always bro. I can't date a girl of 22 & below because they still think like little children even though they are physically developed, Endowed & all.

Small pike na small piking beg !!! Just Bleep them & move on.

Just because while they were 17 or 18 they were dating 35 or 40 years old men doesn't really change them in terms of maturity. It is easier for men that age to sleep with them because they are young & gullible and also want to explore.

it doesn't mean they are mature. They are just gullible !!!

I would advice you to quit chasing her for the following reasons:

1. You are just 21.
Too young to stress yourself over one babe. Move on,girls are everywhere. Concentrate on defining and achieving your life goals because the trajectory of your life will be determined by what you do in the next 10 years. This is something that doesn't get said a lot in Nigeria, but your life is determined in your 20's and 30's.

2. You have wasted too much time on her already.
The longer you chase a woman, the lower your chances of getting a 'yes' from her. A long chase dulls the ardor. She probably wont ever agree to your advances unless she runs out of options - which wont happen soon to a 22 year old lady.
Next time, aim to 'shock and awe'. Get a yes in 4 months or less.

3. She is 22
The worst time to look for a serious relationship with a lady is between the ages of 18 and 26. This is the time they want to experiment and party. This is their 'hoe phase'. The chances of her being anchored are low. Very low.

4. She objected to you on the basis of age.
This is a constant and unchangeable factor that will work against you forever. Women date up, men date down.
Unless you can show some other solid way you are her superior, your chances of getting this babe (and holding on to her if you get her) are slim. She will always look down on you.

PS
Just my two cents. YMMV. Always ask a financial professional before investing with advice taken from the internet. I wont respond to snarky comments; its 2018 and I have new resolutions - keeping away from the bad energy is one.
Now I'm going back to politics and science section cool

Alexis Ohanian is three years older than Serena Williams. Today they are married. They dated for sometime before eventually settling down. I believe Alexis is mature in his dealings to her for her to have accepted his proposal. Anytime she pops up her excuse remind her of Serena and other Nigerians that succeeding in doing that. Nothing is new
Re: Does Age Really Matter For A Romantic Relationship? by microscopic: 2:17pm On Jan 02, 2018
Its simple
Just increase ur age.
Re: Does Age Really Matter For A Romantic Relationship? by Martin0(m): 2:18pm On Jan 02, 2018
MhizzAJ:
It doesn't matter as long as you love her

So this mean's you can date some who you older than like assuming you re 30 and someone who truly love u is 20 21 would u go considering you love him back!


Although being the same age as a partner
doesn’t guarantee romantic success, dating
within your peer group does make it more
likely to end up on the same page. A large
age gap means that you’re less likely to share
similar experiences and preferences in
movies and music—and those differences
make break ups a lot more likely.

_______


Sharing similar experiences can Instantly
forge a bond between strangers. So, be
honest and specific about the movies and TV
shows you love; don’t tell your date that you
like something just because they do, or
because it’s trendy. Also, don’t even think
about fudging your age; dishonesty is never
attractive and doesn’t bode well for a
budding romance.

ok.lets look at the list of things an 18 yr old is permitted by Law to do:
vote
drink
drive
be a soldier
-if a person is old enough for the above i think she is old enough to give informed, mature consent sexually. and much research has been done to show that although the above can be mindfully done at 18, sex can be mindfully done even earlier. hence most countries put the legal age of consent for sex even lower at 16. and Science admits girls can give informed consent even earlier at say 14 and 15 and be ready for sex by then; but the Law asserts its power over Science and calls any sexual relations with a girl at that age Rape. but since its Scientifically acknowledged the gal can give informed consent it cant be rape like we all know.So it gets called Statutory Rape (statute means law) to push forward the fact that the gal was ready for sex but the Government finds it creepy that a gal that young can have sex.

We're literally in the same kettle of fish.

Mine's 2 years older.

But honestly I don't feel age should be a problem. Maturity has nothing to do with age or being loving and understanding enough. Age is just numbers. There are guys who'd senior the girl with so many years and still play with her heart, so?

I just wish girls would stop bringing the "I am older than you" thing up. All the older guys they've been dating haven't done them much good.

To me, age difference isn't a barrier when it comes to marriage. What really matter is to know the mind of God about the relationship. If God say the lady is His will for you, go ahead. God's plans for His children are good plans and not evil. It's good to wait on God for partner because only God knows the future you and I don't know. I pray God will settle you maritally.
