I don't think it's a big deal at all. If you like him, and he is mature, I would go for it.  |

why do you even care what other people think? they are not in your relationship. 4 years is nothing.  |

I don't think it's too young or wrong. People are only teasing you because most of society is still a little backward about gender, even though "we've come a long way baby". When I was your age (35 now), I wouldn't have seriously dated a younger guy because I figured the maturity level difference would drive us apart eventually anyway. Now that I'm 35, I would say I would definately date a guy 4 years younger, especially if his maturity level matched my own. Every guy is different, as is every girl. Age shouldn't be the determining factor (unless it's an issue involving a minor), how the two of you relate should be what's important. Tell those that are bugging you about it to mind their own relationships -- and you'll mind yours. Then growl at them like a cougar and smile ;-) Scall |

I think it's fine...but I think if you date someone extremely over your age, it's sick. lol I love my aunt and uncle, but there's a 13 year difference with their age. that, is in my opinion wrong. ee lol oh well. have a good day!  |

I dont think its a big deal and if you enjoy his company then you should go for it. I would advise against asking family members what think of your relationship, it gives them permission to run their mouths later.  |

you are both legal adults... an di see no problem with that... i would have an issue if he was 13-14 and you were 17-18 though... i think this also hits that double standard where it's ok for a guy to date a younger female(sometimes far younger) but see it not so ok for a female to date a younger guy  |

I speak from experience, young guys are usually not that grown up. I'm old and I'm still no that grown up.  |

Lets see the dateing law for age is you can only date someone 1/2 your age + 7, so 23 and 19 seems fine by me, as long as he's not under 18 and 1/2. Erin-  |

Why worry about what other people will think? If you like him, go for it,who cares what they think,you're over 18, you can make decisions for yourself now. My boyfriend and I are 3 years apart, we get crap from it sometimes, but its nobodys buisness but ours, if other people are too close minded, its their problem. Sometimes the maturity is a bit of a issue, but some guys are mature for their age.  |

4 years is nothing. My husband is 13 years younger than I am and it hasn't been a problem. It just depends on the people. I wouldn't worry about what other people say. I can't believe anyone would make an issue out of just a 4 year difference these days.  |

As long as it feels right to you it shouldn't matter what others think. And those guy friends who are dating under age girls should mind their own business; it’s such a double standard! Next time they say something like robbing the cradle state that at least you won't be going to jail for it or basically say something like jailbait and see how they like it or just plain ignore them.  |

Age is Just a number. I would understand if you were under the age of 18 but you are over that age and so is he. My parents are 8 years apart. Go For It!
