How big of an age gap is acceptable for guys? Especially if the girl is older?
Last December, I went on a group tour with my family and there was a very cute guy but he is around 5 years younger than me. He is a junior in the same course as me. I am much older than him as I took an unconventional track to uni.
During the tour, I realized that I can connect quite well with him and he is a decent person. I have been seeing him around the campus this sem and I realize that I may really like him. He is very introverted and I am ok with initiating. He is still single but I am not sure if I am too old for him. In the past, I was quite disgusted by the thought of dating a younger boy.
But as he is mature for his age, I do not feel that he is that much younger.
However, I do not know if I will freak him out and I am very hesitant to approach him or even to text him. In this modern world, it is ok for girls to be older, but I wonder if 5 years is a bit too much?
Here are what netizens think:
- when we are all adults it’s not the physical age anymore. mental age is more important. someone cld be >30 but still a (wo)man child. someone cld be underage but very mature. eh wait, i don mean it that way.
- Â in this modern world, even a 20yr age gap does not matter. What matters is maturity.
- Depends, if you’re 21 and he’s 16 maybe he’s too young… If you’re 25 and he’s 20 it’s all good…
- why these days they sounded like tomorrow they are marrying the guys. make friends
