TasteofIndia agony auntI don't think that your age gap is a big deal. I think 24-21 is close enough. You're on the same page. I'm in the same situation, I'm 21 and my boyfriend is about to turn 25... we get along well and don't find a lot of generation gaps between us. We've been together 2.5 years and we've had a complete and happy relationship.

I think you're totally okay, or else I'm screwed too! We're in the same boat, sweetness and I think we're fine.

I don't see at all why it would be a problem. I'm 19 and I am with a 21 year old. There's a two year difference for ya.

My best friend is 18, and she is dating a 27 year old, and has been for two years...that's a bit more than three years, but I think you get it.

Age doesn't matter. Well, I guess it does, but only so much as PEOPLE let it matter. Do looks matter? No. Does size matter? NO! But some people think that it does, and they hold other people down.

In my opinion, age is one of the lesser things to worry about.

LIVE LIFE! And remember, you may only get to live it once ^_^ Might as well be happy, right?

It is the person more then it is the age. When you start hitting 15 years or more, or about, generation differences may become a problem.

brooke5426 agony auntI think its fine but it depends on the guy. You can get a 21 year old who acts like hes 16 or younger. Then again you get 21 year olds who you would never believe are only 21 cos there heads are screwed on right and they're mature and responsible. Same rule applies to 24 years old so i think it depends more on your emotional maturity and development rather than how long ago either of you were born

No not a problem at all. If his maturity surpasses his astrological birth age what does it matter?
