An age gap question?

Question

What is your opinion on a 19 yr old girl dating 28yr old dude. And if you were the parents what would you think?

Answer 1

thats kinda a big age difference but as long as the 19 year old is mature and doesnt mind that the dude and his friends will probably be drinking and she cant then it might work.  if i was a parent and my girl was 19 dating a 28 i wouldnt be to happy but as long as he treats her right and doesnt force her to do something that she doesnt want to then its ok

Answer 2

As long as the 19 year old has a good head on her shoulders and they both are  good people then its fine! She is an adult and she can date whoever she wants. It is normal for any parents to have doubts about their daughter dating someone so much older, same with the son's parents.

Answer 3

Well I mean she is legal but still young. She may not be as mature or settled but then every so often you get lucky and find somebody that is well beyond their years. But hopefully you have already met the parents and presented yourself as a decent human being that they can trust their child with so that part is up to the parents. I mean I am 25 and have no kids so I really dont know how a parent would feel b/c I am not but as a young woman that is some of the things I would consider if I was date a man 9 years older than me.

Answer 4

big gap, but not too bad, guess it all depends on the parents

Answer 5

There's a point when an age gap like that won't matter.. like when you reach your late 20's/30's. Right now you have to think about what exactly you have in common at the points that you are in your lives. More than likely you're at very different stages. I've experienced this and it didn't go so well.. we wanted very different things in life. And my parents were not too happy with it, either.

Answer 6

if your pursuing marriage, go for it!

Answer 7

It's kind of unusual because of the way our society is, but girls usually like older guys because they mature faster. If I was the girl's parent, I would definitely mind.

Answer 8

the parents might think you are in it for one thing...but h**l...if you were 20 it'd be a possibility too...age gaps aren't that big of a deal...

Answer 9

Umm.... I'm 21 and a few months ago I dated a girl who was 18 and everyone i knew told me she was too young, in my opinion as long as you really love someone and you actually know the meaning on the word 'love', then who cares what everyone else thinks

Answer 12

i think its a big gap and if i were the parents i wouldnt like it at all.

Answer 13

I would think the maturity levels might be a little off, but if you are mature and he is a little playful and not too mature then it will work out fine.
