Why is it so wrong for a girl to date a younger guy?

Question

but a older guy to date a younger girl?

im mostly asking because im a sophomore and i sorta kinda like a freshman but everyone says it would be weird and nasty

Answer 1

if you like him then date him. it's not up to anyone but yourself and you don't want to miss out on a guy that you could really like! :)

and there's nothing wrong with it.

Answer 2

That's just what people are going to say. I've heard a lot of people say, "Oh my God, you're a loser if you're an upperclassman and you're dating a freshman...blah blah blah." Just do whatever you want. Don't listen to the hooplah other people will say. :)

Answer 3

Nothing!  Go for it, and if i doesn't work, well, at least you tried and you don't have to wonder about him anymore, right?

Answer 4

Well it depends on age and age difference whether it is 'wrong' -

Since you're just a high schooler, and a young high schooler at that - they all freak out because well, you're in high school, and everyone is immature and judgmental.

Answer 5

It might seem weird now but if you were 24 and he was 22 thats no big deal.  If He was 38 and you 40 not even an issue. I'm 2 years older than my husband of 25 years...It worked for us.  If you like him and he's mature enough to handle a 16 year old, then go for it.  (Although maybe his mother might have a problem with it..lol)

Answer 6

It just seems worse when you are in high school, but don't worry about it. I dated an 17 year old when i was 18 things worked fine... even when school was back in and he went to school and i worked ...

Also my brother is married to a woman 14 years older than him and they are an awesome couple! :)  

Answer 7

its not wrong at all! forget wat ppl say! if u like him go for it! who cares wat other ppl think just as long as ur happy and ur having a good time it doesnt matter. ive gone out wif younger guys b4 and i was happy and didnt giv a **** wat other ppl thought. thats all that matters.  

Answer 8

Why are you asking your friends' permission?

Answer 9

You must do what feels right for you. Generally girls mature faster than boys, so that is where the tradition of older guys dating younger girls comes from. Also, women are more fertile in their younger years. Men seem to remain horny most of their lives.

Answer 10

It is SO not wrong! It is SOOOOOOOOOOOO not wrong!

The guy I like is younger than me! And he is really nice. There is absolutely nothing wrong with it, unless it's like that thing where 25 year olds date 13 year olds, but I don't think you mean that. And if you do, well it's wrong with guys dating that much younger girls too.

So stop listening to "everyone". Who is this "everyone" anyway? I'm sure it's not EVERYONE. maybe it's a few of your friends, but i'm sure there are friends who will side with you, and if not, they're not true friends, are they?

Answer 11

It is only WRONG to the people watching you and your younger boyfriend having a great time.  The insecure and immature watchers of your relationship have not yet learned to accept their own short-comings.  

If you were a Senior and he was a 7th grader, I would think that much of an age difference would be wrong.  But, a year or two is nothing to get worried about.  If you and your 14 year old boy friend don't have a problem being in a responsible and intimate relationship, then tell your friends that unless they know the boy is a rapist or is a dope dealer, then they should butt out of your personal business.  If your friends stop being friends with you over this, they really weren't good friends to begin with.  Follow your heart and touch his.  You won't regret it.

Answer 12

i dont think it would be wierd or nasty.

if you like this guy, then go for him.

dont listen to your friends, you wont see them after highschool.

goodluck :)

Answer 13

It's not wrong, it's just not all that common since women usually look for more mature men.  But one year difference is really nothing.

Answer 14

if you two really care about one another, there's nothing wrong at all with it age is just a number.

Answer 15

it wouldnt be wierd or nasty? thats retarded

its not like your liking someone in liiiike 6th or 7th grade?    

Answer 16

It isn't "wrong," its just that girls tend to mature faster than guys, both physically and mentally.

I wouldn't worry about what everyone else says, as long as you two truly have feelings for each other (not lust, but love).  I'm actually older than my husband!

Answer 17

idk i once dated a guy who was 1 year younger than me..

i think its beacuse girls grow up faster then boys.

boys are 2 years behind..

Answer 18

Its not. Some people are just idiots and can't see past their own minds thinking. You see people married and there 10 years apart in age don't you. Just ignore all those who say its wrong.
