    No one under 18 though. I just can't deal with that nonsense/illegality.

    It really does depend on how big the age gap is, really.

    Yes. I tend to be into girls a bit younger than myself, 16 or 17.

    Yes I would. My previous partner was 5 years younger than me. And the guy I'm kinda flirting with at our local gay pub is quite a bit younger than that.

    For me I think it is more likely to be someone younger (around 25-40 age-range) rather than my age or older. Though when I find I'm around the age of a guy's parents that feels creepy...

    No... absolutley not
    I won't even date guys the same age as me...

    I'm 16, act like I'm 19, and look like I'm 20 (for the most past... unless one of my moods catches me and then I act like a 5 year old)
    I like older guys because generally they have a head on their shoulders and they know what they want.
    Guys my age are generally just too immature. I'd feel like I was doing something illegal if I was with someone the same age as me or even slightly younger.

    My age minimum is 1 year older.
    I was 14, Logan was 18.
    I was 15, Casey was 18.
    I was 15, Pauli was 18.
    I was 15, Steve was 23.
    I was 16, Terry was 18.
    I was 16, Mike was 18.

    And now... with Danny.
    I'm 16, he's 19.

    Well probably someone who's 16, but 15 is my limit. I think I'd prefer someone
    the same age or older.

    No-one under 16. Seeing as I'm currently 16 i guess the answer is no.

    From legality to senility. It depends on the person but, hey, by now most of the world is younger than I...

    20 is as young as I'll go. Any younger and I'd feel like i was being a bit of a perv tbh.

    I would depending on the person. I probably date someone in the early to mid 30's. It depends on their maturity.

    Yep. Obviously I wouldn't put myself in a position were it's illegal, but I know people younger than me who act more mature than people older than me. I'm not going to say I prefer older/younger as I am not bothered which way it goes. If the gap isn't massive or illegal then I am not bothered, just as long as we like each other.

    Clearly you said yes because you love me.

    No. I either imagine my date to be my age or older. My mentality says anyone younger than me is too young, not sure why.

    Maybe it's 'cause I am young

    Yes. I am currently dating a guy who is in his mid-30's, even though I am in my early 40's I think compatibility is more important that the age of a person. Having said that, I think that too large an age gap, where that two people are in entirely different phases of life, can present real compatibility issues.

    One of my current crushes is younger than me so...that'd be yes :grin:. Although the other two are older than me...

    That said, I don't think I'd date anyone under about 21 - it'd feel a bit weird. Plus, to be honest, everyone I hang around is over 21, so I'm unlikely to fall for someone younger. Under 18 is a definate no-no (even though over here 16 or over would be legal)

    Nothing illegal, but if we were legal, consenting adults and I really liked the person, I'd go out with them (and they liked me).

    I wouldn't rule out dating someone younger than me; it depends on the guy, how mature they are, and a host of other factors. However, I wouldn't date anyone under 22 (21 being my absolute limit given my age) and it goes without saying that I couldn't/wouldn't even imagine seeing someone 18 or under (for obvious reasons). I feel like dating someone under 21-22 would be like dating my little brother :eek:
