My daughters 17 yr. old friend is dating a guy that is 28[ they have promised no sex till she is 18]. Her parents are ok w this because they feel at least he has matured enuf to know what it is like out in the world and does pretty well for himself. And they say he treats her w every respect and is willin to just date for now.
My parents had 17 years between them, an only dated for one month. Of course they were older when they met[25 and 42],an had 40 wonderful years together. Wondering your thoughts on this age thing in todays word.... |

some 18 year olds are more mature than 25 year olds...its the experience in the life, not the chronology of it that determines maturity level..

WHAT IN THE HELL DOES A 28 YEAR OLD DUDE,,,NEED IN MY DAUGHTER? SURELY HE would and should WANT to be with a woman closer to his AGE. THIS is NUTS to me as IF,,,THEY DID CROSS THAT LINE,(sex) IN MOST STATES HE COULD GO TO PRISON... MY own daughter at 15 wanted to date this dude 21,,,well I said NO,, My KIDS (three of them) had house rules they couldn't date three years different from their ages... So AS I was only her STEP-DAD,,,her Mother thought it was OK,, SO I said,,,THIS IS YOUR UNDERTAKING THEN,,NOT MINE! And it is YOUR PROBLEM IF ANYTHING HAPPENS... WELL,,My daughter was pushed around,smacked and HE FORCED HER to do MANY things. ALL THIS WAS UN-KNOWN TO US ""THEN",,,WHEN SHE WAS 22 SHE TOLD ME ALL THAT!!! I asked why she never said this at that time to me,,and she said she knew what I would have done to him.. Back when she was with him, they lasted a year together. HE was arrested was the only reason he lift. ANYWAYS,,,IF A DUDE IS OVER 21 AND CAN BE IN CLUBS LEGALLY, THATS THE PLACE THEY GO TO DANCE AND DRINK,,,thats just LIFE. SEE, HE'S FINE to do that,,,SHE'S NOT.. IF one WANTS a GIRL UNDER 18,,,,HE'S F$CKED UP IN HIS THINKING BECAUSE HE'S TO OLD NOW!!! A woman can meet a man fifty years older than her,,and THATS COOL AS LONG AS SHE'S OLD ENOUGH TO KNOW What she'S DOING.. AND EVEN AT SEVENTEEN,,,SHE DOES NOT FULLY KNOW HER YET. And PERSONALLY,,I THINK A MAN OVER 21 NEEDS A LADY AT LEAST 20 for THEM TO work right..but I KNOW MANY DO JUST FINE,IN THE OTHER. I HOPE and PRAY your DAUGHTER is not as unlucky as mine was... |

Age is a valid issue when tied into maturity, but maturity and biological age dont have a direct link. Id say someone who is one year from having to make their own choices is probably likely to be compatible with a twenty something if they share common interests, values and backgrounds. Id say age would only be an issue when one party is still in school (high school or below) and the other party has kids or is old enough to have kids their age. |

At least its my kids friend...but I did talk to my kid about it. She shrugged it off an said the girl has been thru enuf leave her be. And ended w/ she will dump him soon as always Mom. I have some issues with this myself...I think she should at least be outta school. I think if she is "mature" enuf in her parents eyes, and he has been checked out...then maybe. I dunno...guess it depends on each individual....Hi 4u!! |
