Reservations about sleeping with someone much younger

[savoytruffle]

I agree with the OP...I am 23 and I have a friend who's 19 who liked me when he was a high school freshman and I was a senior. Back then, the 4-year age gap was huge. Now it's less so, but I still feel creeped out when I think about hooking up with him ever. I think the youngest I'd go at this point is 20. At least we'd be in the same age decade...and they would remember old cartoons from the '90s on Nickelodeon!!

Same thing with men.

This.
A few years ago I dated a 21year old and I was 28/29. She was a lot more mature and accomplished than women I've dated that were older than her. Would I do it again? Why not? If we connect then why burn it? Although admittedly, had she been younger (18-20) I would have passed as losing the option of going out for drinks etc is too much of a give away.

It's not just a maturity thing when comes to age.

Most of it (age differences) doesn't even matter until you are out of your 20's anyways...that's when things actually start take on a little more weight with bio clocks ticking down and life begins to settle a little.

It's easy to have come and go relationships, age really doesn't matter much to them. All that matters is you "like" one another
