I’m 20 and probably wouldn’t date anyone over 39 or under 18-19. If i date someone who is 18, they also can’t be barely 18, they have to have been 18 for a while so birthday is important if they’re 18.

my current girlfriend is 19 x3

    I’m 9 years older than my kid sister. We had an agreement, she doesn’t date anyone older than me and I don’t date anyone younger than her.

    We both married people in that range.

    Internet Creepieness Rule:

    Your age / 2 + 7 is the low end limit.

      This.

      I strayed from this formula by 1 year once (I was 38, she was 25), and there was this strange generational gap where we just had completely different interests, we didn’t get each others’ references, and things fizzled pretty quickly.

      Anyone else I’ve dated has been within this formula and we’ve gotten a long quite well. If they’re below this number for you, or you’re below this number for them, even by a little bit, it’ll get weird and you’ll run out of things to talk about pretty quickly.

        I’m 38 and can’t imagine dating a 26 year old. The woman I’m currently seeing is my same age and it’s great.
