I don't care about the age difference!

Question - (30 September 2010) 3 Answers - (Newest, 3 October 2010)
A female United Kingdom age 30-35, *oreverlove writes:

I don't know what to do. I've completely fallen for someone who is 7 years older than me. He means the world to me and im so lucky to have him in my life.

The thing is is he is giving me all the right signs that he likes me, like letting me cuddle up to him, falling asleep on his shoulder, wearing his jumper, sending me kisses in text and saying that an age is just a number and it doesn't mean anything. We also my 16th birthday party and he said before he had to go (because he was ill) that he wanted to kiss me goodnight but didn't because my parents are there.

He says all this but he keeps saying that we are never going to be together because of the age gap! I really don't understand this at all?! Please can someone explain as I totally confused? What can I do to make him notice that I do really like him and that the age gap of 7 years doesn't matter? I really really want him and so hope that this can work out one day.

Thank you :) x

You're 16 and he's 22/23. I can see his point with your parents its actually your job to inform them. He may have a tabbo on age yet he still lead you on. You two need to talk and please apply the break while he finds himself. If your parents let you date him then I think it should be a go between you two. I have a 15 year old girl and my answer would H no.

7 years is not a huge different. In my case, is totally different. Im 16 and im falling in love with a 28 years old GUY! Which makes it 12 years older.

Seven years is not a huge difference in age when you are both comfortable with yourselves as individuals. As long as there is not an unhealthy dependency or patronizing role play going on, I don't see why you can't enjoy a beautiful relationship together. I have known many relationships to thrive with that degree of age difference - and more -- when the respect is solid and the appreciation for one another's strengths is equal. It won't work if one person in the relationship feels either superior and or unequal to the other.
