His friend didn't have a problem though... because he's gay too @[email protected]

Moral of the story: with the internet people you never know.

That is SO true. There are two things to learn from that story. One is to show how lies can be told on the internet, and the other is that there are really sick people out there that prey on children. That story may not be true, but there are true stories like that. Usually online, the child is a LITTLE older, but in real life, there are molesters who really do that to children.

I've been asked to do unappropiate things online by at least two who were over the drinking age...

... and I'm 15! Hell!

Yup, they're out there. I can't stand a pervert that wants to mess with kids. If there was a hell, there would definitely be a special place for them in it.

I t would be good if all children who have access to the internet are well versed in protecting themselves. Unfortunately it is another tool for pedophiles to use to reach out and find children.

As for the 10 yr old dating a 22 yr old. That's the factor of one them being under-aged. IF it was a 32 yr old dating a 22 yr, it wouldn't cause such a problem.

Well, like most people here have probley said, It depends on your age. If your 15 and hes like 25. well, thats illegal. But i dont think age really matters when it comes to two people who really really like/love each other.

I think that largely depends on the person too though. I have known people that didnt really grasp the concept of sex and fooling around until they were 20, then i have known 12 year olds that have been with several people.

I do agree about the perverts messing with kids thing though, the idea of having sex with like a 13 year old or something kind of creeps me out, online or not. X_x;

I understand what you mean. There are some very young people who are sexually active. My comment about perverts messing with kid was along the lines of child molestors-the ones who actually do take advantage of a young child, or even rape them. THOSE are the really true perverts.

Oh ok i got you, see i dont give a damn if people fool around online with people via RP or something. be them 40 and the other 15 if that is their deal. I just dont like the ones that try to meet kids offline and ... yea they need to burn ><

I know what you mean, and there are just some sickos out there who do just that. I didn't watch them, but I think Dateline or another show like that did shows about how they would pretend to be kids, and have one of those freaks contact them and set up real life meetings. Then they and the police would be there when the guy actually showed up.

well, since you are not, like, 14 and him 24, because that wouldn't work. you are 17 and he's 27...eh, that's not to big of a deal. but if a 15 year old was dating some old geezer, that would be creepy. creepy and disturbing. but i guess your relationship is all right...as long as he makes you happy. as for the whole internet stalker thing, that is so CREEPY!!! ugh! i cannot believe that some perverted sicko would do something like that! i'm 13, and i would never fall for that! it's not the victims fault at all, but i've heard enough stories about it to know that it actually DOES happen in real life. like, when i was 6, i saw this news thing about that happening, and it disturbed me deeply. it totally turned me away from any internet chatting at all, and as for internet dating? forget it! no point anyways, i'm never gonna meet someone i met on the internet in real life! it's so...so...AWFUL! what is this world coming to... :'(

Love is love.. and it's blind.
If you love the person, and you have a lot in common(enough to keep yous together), then go for it.

My aunt and uncle are 7 years apart..
my boyfriend's parents are 15 years apart...

As long as it's legal.. lol.

honestly, i think that if it is between someone that is 20 and someone that's 30, it's could be a generation gap. or at least, they would be at completely different places in their lives. if it is between 60 and 70, then that's nothing. i think that it is weird a lot of the time, but the only important thing is what makes you happy.

I would say.. yeah that is a problem.. But that is just me. I mean. if you were out of school, and you had your own place, and you were out on your own and whatnot, it wouldn't matter what age. Just be prepared that if you married THAT old of a person, they will most likely die before you do XD

It depends on your age. If your.. say .. oh pulling a number out of my head - 14, and your dating a man that is 24. Then yes that is wrong. But if your 30, dating a man that is 40. I see no problem with that.

Let's just follow the half-your-age-plus-7 rule for decency, and age of consent for legality.

If you are both over the legal age limit then go for it. But if one is still underage then I dont approve of a big age difference. Legal baby.

Age is but a number, darling.
If you know he won't harm you in any way, I think It is perfectly fine.
I know I would never date some on with more than a five year age difference, But this is your life and you can choose how to live it. I don't see anything wrong with you dating someone way older than you.
But if you were under aged that is a totally different story. And I would not approve of anyone doing that.

I really think when it comes to age it depends on the person. I mean some older people can be really childish and some younger people can be really mature for their age. But then again I'm horrible at guessing ages and usually have a five year limit in my dating life.

I think that you should also consider the consequences of being older and in a relationship with an age difference. If you were to marry someone with the intentions of staying with them for a long time, perhaps for the rest of your lives, you have to be prepared that that person could well...die before you. My gran is 60 and her partener was 75, he died recently and she's been so hurt since. I know that that has also affected/scared my mum, she's in a relationship with a person 21 years older than her, she's almost 39. I think that would scare me too.
I'm not saying that it's unacceptable though! Just that I think people should be careful.
In this situation with a younger person, I think that as long as you are of legal age and that you are being sensible about it, it is ok. I personally couldn't date somebody 10 years older than me. I think that it does depend on what age you are though.

That's true I never thought about it that way. I would be so sad if my lover died before me especially if there was a significant age different between us. Which brings up a new idea I had. Why is it if a man dates a younger woman he's considered awesome in guy standards and if a woman dates a younger guy she's a cougar? And if a woman dates an older guy she's considered a skank and if a guy dates an older woman he's considered mature and lucky. It just doesn't seem fair!

As a teen, I dont think it's a good idea.

But as an adult, who cares, you are old enough to understand the risks and whatever.

But all in all I think love concurs age.
You just have to be careful not to be taken advantage of.

Also if a man has sex with several women he's a winner and if a woman has sex with several men she's a slut :roll: Luckily that has to do more with stereotypes strangers might have than with the love of your live anyway.

Though the chances of having an older partner dying before you are higher with the higher age, keep in mind that anyone can die at any age. The younger person could possibly die before the older one. My husband was ten years older than I, but he died at the age of forty five-not THAT old-from cancer. While I might have thought he would die first, I certainly wasn't prepared for him to die at that age.

I'm a very strong believer in 'age is just a number.'
I'm currently involved with someone much older than me and it's working out great. We're both aware of the advantages/disadvantages of such a relationship, but, if we're both happy, why should we let a number get in the way?

Like most on here, I think it's fine if you're an adult, etc, etc.
I mean, my parents are 23 years apart.
