writes:Hey, I'm Ashley. I am 19. About two months ago I started dating my boyfriend, to whom is 27. He will be 28 in December. He thinks and talks about our age difference often, and I try to explain to him that its not a big deal and its 2009 that 7 or 8 years is the not a big deal now in days. I want to know what you think, its that a age difference I should be worrying about. And how should I explain to him that its not, if you know it isn't. Also, I feel like we are very happy, and our maturity level is about even. Tell me what ya think! Ashley! Reply to this Question

I am almost 15 years my wifes senior, and it works for us! Age is just a number, as long as all the important "parts" are working!

My only advice to you is that being older he may try to manipulate you (either intentionally or not even realizing he does it) so just keep your eyes open and make sure you call him on it if he does. My bf used to have a huge problem with this, after finding out I completely saw through it he has changed his behaviour.

7/8 years age difference isnt really much to be worried about. As long as your happy and want the same things then thats all that matters :). I no someone whos with someone thats 12 years older and they get along fine. Age is just a number it shouldnt affect a relationship. I Hope everything works out! xx

 My bf has just turned 28 and i turned 19 in Feb so were on about the same level of 8/9 years. It doesn't effect our relationship at all, in fact if anything it helps it because we help each other out when the other ones being silly where as someone of my own age would be completely careless! We're completely on a level and dont even mention the age thing, its come up in conversation topic about three times since we've been together.
If youre happy and on the same maturity level then it should work out just fine, i wish you all the best and assure your boyfriend its def nothing to worry about, theres people who marry their mums for christs sake! xx
