classicist: Oh definitely there are guys that are younger that are pretty mature. There are a few I know that are like that, but it was mostly a majority comment. :3 It is pretty rare to find guys that are younger than in their 20's that are still pretty ready for a relationship. I guess a lot of it can also come down to the idea of if they know what they want more than anything else, which gets into more difficult territory. --- Ikkoku: You have a pretty good point with that. Age can matter a lot more than some than others, which can make things a lot harder. It is hard to say where to draw the line with stuff like that. Some of the happiest couples I know are actually a good 20-30 years appart from eachother and they met when the girl was still fairly young(late teens or early twenties). So I guess sometimes there doesn't really need to be a line? Though the younger you get the more that line really matters.

So then! I've been thinking about this for a while now, especially since I will be 18 very very soon and it is an issue that seems to pop up quite often with me. Do you guys think age differences should really matter in a relationship, or have you found it hard to find one because of it? For me specifically, I feel that age really is just a number more than anything, and maturity plays a larger role in whether or not a person should be persued. Granted, this is also coming from a girl who doesn't like the idea of dating guys her age because they tend to either be intimidated or extremely childish(which is nothing too shocking. People my age are still kids anyway). So then! Discuss! :D
