When it comes to dating, is age an issue for you?
What is the biggest age gap (older and younger) you have ever dated? And what is the furthest you would go?

My biggest age gap is my current relationship.
There is 10 years between us.
For us it was a non-issue because we were (and still are) in the same life stages.
She came from a really sheltered, really religious upbringing that stunted her growth in the ways that I was "excelling" so to speak.
She came out later (at 22) I was out at 16. She didn't start to "rebel" until she was in her early twenties, I started in my early teens. So, its just worked for us.

Well I'm 19 and the youngest I'd go is probably 16. I'm not sure how old I'd go though, depends if I find them attractive and stuff.

I think age doesn't matter, as long as there's a connection between two people. For me the youngest would probably be 14 or 15 and the oldest up to 40 at least  |

I agree with justsamma.
It is way more important to be in similar life stages than to be of similar age. This one often goes for friendships as well, I think.
I usually get along better with people that go through similar daily problems, fun etc. You should be on the same level mentally and be able to related to each others feelings and experience. And often, you get that when you´re the same age. Yet, sometimes you meet people who are older or younger than you but happen to have been going through what you´re going through. One of my friends is now in a relationship with a guy who´s ten years older and they are a perfect couple.
I can mostly speak of friendships here though as I´ve never dated anyone much older or younger.
I do have some good friends though that are ten years younger and some that are about fourty years older!

Never dated someone older or younger before. But there's this lecturer in my college (I know, I know, inappropriate) who is 9 years older and man! if she were gay, and into me, I wouldn't have a problem with it at all. Sometimes I think being with someone older would be better, for me at least.

It really doesn't bother me if they are older then me but I probably wouldn't date someone younger then 18 (I am 20). The reason for this is there is a lot of growing and learning that happens in teen years. So for me its also a life stage thing. The age gap doesn't bother me its the development that happens in our teen years.

Depends, like if one was like 12 and the other 40 that's a possible issue
As long as everyone is mature enough, consenting, not pressured....

When my girlfriend and I started dating I was... 20 and she was16. At first the age thing was an issue but people really began to see us as adults faster than I thought. We've been together two years and now we're 22 and 18. Won't lie though, we still act like kids.  |

I don't think age is a big issue. I'd rather date someone older than me.. the youngest I'd date would be 17 and oldest maybe 30(I'm 18). It really depends on the maturity of the person and how well we would connect.
