writes:I like this guy for long time. We have been friends for almost 4 years and i seem to have not lost interest in him. I have tried so hard to stop liking him because he is a year younger than me but it's really hard. I even dated other guys to try and eliminate the feelings that i have for him, but it doesn't seem to have worked. Is it wrong to date a younger guy? Reply to this Question

ok i dont think its wrong to date a guy only one year younger and everyone before me has made a point about that! ur fine hun. look im 17 and i really like this 14 year old haha. hes very mature for his age tho but im just afraid of wut ppl will think. i mean some of my friends say go for it! but when i turn 18 dont do anything with him. im still 17 so i can do a lot of things with him before i turn 18 so its not wrong. maybe a little weird but i feel good when im around him =]
go for it hun ,hes only one year younger.

Age has a way of only "mattering" when it discourages the relationship.

 Not at all. Some examples:
When I was 15-17 my (first) girlfriend was 1 year older than me.
When I was 17-18 my next girlfriend was 2 years older than me.
My ex-wife was a year older than me.
My current girlfriend is two years older than me.

Noo.In high school of course it's a tiny bit weird of course,but if you really like the guy don't be bothered by the age if you're both in high school.
Look at the guys,seniors dating freshman.Why is it okay for them but not for the girls?

A year makes no difference - my mum is a year older than my dad and they've been together over thirty years! Although age can make a difference, if your older a year means nothing and if you're in your teens the only problem you'll have is your friends teasing you for dating a younger person! Otherwise go for it!

 Stop panicing about it. A year is nothing at your age! When its 3-4 years difference at your age, then start thinking outside the box. But at the moment, go for it!

 I don't think its wrong for you to date someone younger than yourself. So he is a year younger than you, 12 months is absolutely nothing atal. After all age is only a number, the love and feelings a couple share far supersede how many months or years between them. If you really like this guy then go for it.
All the best & good luck x

Well, that's what a lot of people will tell you. Mind you, people often 'mistake' "dating" with "sex".
With that out of the way, no, why would you think it is wrong to date someone younger than you? Unless your question specifically pertains to dating a male that is younger than you as a female? Even then, dating anyone should be in disregard to age - reasonably. Obviously, you as a 16-17 year old girl, wouldn't date a boy (or a girl) who is under 12 right? Maybe it isn't so obvious. Seems like a lot of 10 to 12 year olds are already talking about sex and babies. [sighs]
Anyhow, no, there's nothing wrong with it. However, say someone on planet Earth DO think it is wrong, why would what we think, affect how you feel and what you want to do?
I say go for it. A year younger, geez. Say you were 65, wanting to date a 15 year old, well I might suggest otherwise. ^_-
