Age Differences...Big deal? or big whoop?

Age Differences...do they matter? In some cases, yes they do. In others, no they don't.

I think the main view point here is: Keep it Legal.

NOT LEGAL

LEGAL, BUT WRONG.

ONLY CELBS WOULD GET AWAY WITH THIS

YOUR STEREOTYPICAL COUPLE

Most people fit into the last one, the last one is what is socially accepted. But we all know that everyone is different. I'm one of those "people within" thinkers. You could be 2 years older than me, or 20 years older than me, it doesn't matter as long as we can get along in some way.

There are limits to that statement of course when it comes to relationships of course. I am never going to go home and announce: "Mum, Dad. This is Bob. He's 97 and rich. We love each other." 

Not only would my mother kill me, but I would also probably throw up a little in my own mouth thinking about kissing someone who's 10 years older than my Pop. 

But is that to say that all relationships with age-gaps are a problem? Different in some way?
My answer to that is: No. We are all just people, living our lives and surround ourselves with other people who make us happy.

I have my own limitations on who I date, just because I like everyone else have grown up around stereotypes and have been influenced by them. I'm 18, so anyone over 30 is off limits in my eyes. This however, does not apply to everyone.

As so many people have said, "Age is just a number". In reality, if he's older than your dad...off limits.
