i heard from someone that the age gap of 3, 6 and 9 are good in a relationship but i don't know if it's true or not though. since you guys have a lot in common ... i think that is already enough =] there's no need to worry about the age difference.
Age shouldnt be a problem. But it really depends on your lifestyle. because u're 20 yrs old mean u're still young and wild, want to try alot of new things and stuff like that and his 29 close to 30 and is ready to settle down. so depends on the things you guys do, do they clashes? like you go clubbing and he just want to stay at home and rest. so do you lifestyle matches his lifestyle i think thats it the problem. its like my friend. his got a gf age 19 and his 24 and his gf always want to go out and play around cause she's still young but my friend just want to relax drink at a pub and chat and stuff like that. they always have fights because of their differences activites. its just 5 yrs and its a problem for them. but they a still together for 1yr now i think close to 2 yrs so maybe thats how they work out. weird but it works for them. so yeah.
Sometime down the load.. you guys may have different goals you want to achieve. For example he may want to get married and have kids while you may want to continue higher education or develop your career.
For me,age REALLY isnt an issue.If you really like and care about each other and have lots in common,theres nothing stopping you two being together.
9 years is acceptable i think. besides love is not restricted by age unless they are underage. besides u wouldn't want to go out with ppl underage if ur like 29 cos they won't have the maturity that u would so it wouldn't work out anyway.
Age is not a problem but the mentality and maturity is important. I mean if he is really mature and you're not then it will become a problem. I went out with a guy who was 26 and i was 19 at the time. At first I didn't think the age difference was much of a problem but then he started complaining how I'm childish and immature and everything had to revolve around him, I'm always the one in the wrong etc etc. Then it got up to the point where I thought he was like my dad more than my bf and he thought the same so I broke up with him.
Hey Yong-Shi, there's a 9 year gap between me and my bf and we've been together for 3 years now and I've not found age a problem. I think guys tend to mature later than girls anyway. So I wouldn't let age get in the way of you falling in love and finding happiness. If you like him go for it I hope you keep us posted on what happens -blush2
A lot of people say age is just a number, but it's easy to say it without having experienced it. Age IS just a number, but you and your guy have to be at similar maturity levels. I've dated guys who were 7-10 years older than me and they had such emotional baggage. Gargh! I couldn't handle that. I'm not saying age is a huge factor in a relationship. Sometimes it can be, and other times it's not. Hopefully yours is one of those where age isn't a facto.
I prefer a guy older than me, I would never date a guy alot younger. Its not that i think its wrong, its just that i find they are immature. Think about it this way, a guy doesnt really grow up until say mid to late twenties, so if you want stability, i would go for a guy that around that age. so i thing 20 and 29 is ok, though i put my foot down if you were younger than that cos it jus sounds a bit perverted. I've no prob. if say u were 20 n he in 30s, its just that a girl that still has 'teen' in her age shd just be very careful.
