Two or three years, but I aim for younger or at least same age, tho I was born at the very end of the school year so most people in my grade are a little older. Basically I try to stay same grade
EDIT: remember two lines above me when I said same grade? Well… she’s only ONE grade younger
Well, it still depends on just how big the difference is, until both are of legal age.
Like, I’d say 16 and 21 is fine, but a gap bigger and a minor much younger than that gets…questionable. And that’s assuming they obey the law, if you understand what I’m referring to. Otherwise 21 goes straight on down to 18, maybe 19.
Men mature slower than females, so it’s always a good rule of thumb for men to look for women about 1-3 years younger than they are, and for women to look for men 1-3 years older than they are.
Well that was quick. She broke up with me. She seemed rly sad about it, and now says she can’t talk to me (in specific) for a little while. Not sure if her parents don’t like me (we’re still both under 18 so parental rule is still pretty powerful), or if she just really didn’t want to break up and is now super sad about it. It’s my fault tho. I started the dating relationship when she’d stated several times she didn’t want our friendship hurt from something like that.
Back at it again with the dating as minors. I tried that once and got shut down, not because her parents didn’t like me, but because her parents didn’t like the other guy that their other daughter was trying to get with and wanted to be fair to everyone.
That sucks. In my situation, I understood how she felt but didn’t agree. I suppose just letting it end peacefully was the best option as arguing never ends well. It was rly all my fault. I shouldn’t have pushed for a dating relationship. We agreed not to date at first bc we’re rly close friends, but then I asked if she wanted to date, and she said yes. It was mutual in a sense, but in the end it was my fault.
She couldn’t see us being long term or anything. Kinda understand, and thought we’d just go back to being friends, but now she either doesn’t want to or can’t talk to me so that’s a little depressing.
