Be with her

LegacyUser

right im gonna keep this short:

im just gone 19 and i know this girl that is 17 in like a month or so.

thing is, we get one really well, always txtin and stuff.
her friends have txt me before telling that she does really like and i do want to be with her but the thing holding me back is the age difference....

if she was my age i would be with her in a second, but shes not.
she is very mature for her age, ( and looks it ), and i look about 2 years younger than i am.

is it too much of an age difference or should i go for it??

Go for it. It is quite normal for a guy to be with a girl that is two years younger than them. If you like her and she likes you then why not?

2 years for an age gap is nothing! If you like one another then give it a whirl. Enjoy.

2 yrs is grand! i went out with a guy who was 5 yrs older than me. i know it might sem alot now, but if she is 17 its grand, perfectly legal and all..

fuzzywiggle

Go for it! 2 years is really nothing! I was 17 and the bf was 19 when we started going out! Don't know what you're concerned about!

Eh, isn't she actually 16? Is that legal? You'd think with all the hullabaloo at the moment in the news that I would have remembered, but if it isn't then wait for a month. It'll save you 3 years in the long run But other than that, 2 years is nothing at all. It can be a bit noticable at times when you're in college and she's in school, but that depends on if you give a sh1t about what other people think, which you shouldn't.

I went out with a 20 year old when I was 16 - no big deal, go for it.

Beekay

Go for it,you've nothing to lose and a lot to gain

I started going out with my 17 year old gf when I was 21. That was 12 years ago and she's now my wife! Without a doubt, go for it

What are you insinuating? I'll 'ave you.

Anyway, two years is nothing. If you were 14, and she was 12 it might be different. I'd go for it. There's nothing illegal about a 19-year-old and a 16-year-old going out. And doing "stuff". I'd just wait the month or two before I started asking her back to your house for coffee or whatever.

Yeah, there's no problem at all mate. Just go for it!

one of my friend's dads is 14 years older than his mam. odd but it happens. there's absolutely nothing wrong with a 2 year age gap. having sex before her birthday would have been illegal a few weeks ago but not anymore. <snip>just a little too controversial right now - dudara</snip>

Two years (and a bit) is nothing to be worried about,
the last girl I was with was 13 years my junior :eek: but no-one had an issue with it, and why should they.

You like the girl and she likes you.....yes life really can be that simple...

Stop worrying, ENJOY

I think you know the answer to that, hullaballo. Or should say MR A!

I hope to God you are at least 33+ mate:eek:

im 19, my gf is 17. We have been together over a year now. I had the same doubts as you at the start. Go for it, after a while, it wont even matter. the gap isn't all that big anyway.

Fr.Dabbler2004 by any chance? :rolleyes:

Calibos and BMH:

First of all your both off topic; the question from the OP is if HIS age difference is too great, so lay off me eh?

Not that it's any of your business but 'my' girl was 21 (i.e. an adult, and well able to make her own decisions).
'Fr.Dabbler2004 by any chance?' NOT FUNNY and certaintly NOT ACCURATE.

I was just reassuring the OP, didn't expect a lash back for myself.


..............okay, rant over now, it's safe to come out from hiding.........:p

17-19, no problem tbh.
My 17 year old brother started going out with a 23yr old gal, year later, all is still fine.
