Do you have a certain age range for people who you would date? What is it?

I've been thinking about it, and I'm pretty sure that I dont have any preference when it comes to age (but I havent had much experience) apart from the obvious not dating any kids thing.

Flyers2011 · 3rd Feb 2011, 12:40 PM

I will go up to 4 years older, but only about one year younger, for now at least. I'm at that age where people younger than me are pretty immature. Immaturity is not attractive to me.

thedreamwatch · 3rd Feb 2011, 12:42 PM

My age up to five years older. Any older than that and I wonder why they aren't dating someone their own age.

How old are you?

Flyers2011 · 3rd Feb 2011, 12:48 PM

I'm 17. . . So anyone like 3 years younger than me is really immature. . .

maverick · 3rd Feb 2011, 01:25 PM

Anywhere between 20-30. I really just want to date a millenial like myself. I probably wouldn't go younger than my own age (25) unless I came across someone who was fairly mature for their age. I can't stand immature behavior - temper tantrums, inability to communicate, attention-whoring, whining, rivalry, and cliques all annoy me.

RaRa · 3rd Feb 2011, 01:37 PM

Yes I am one of those people who sais "age is just a number." I find older men attractive. I've still only dated in my age range though.

Aya McCabre · 3rd Feb 2011, 02:15 PM

For me it's less about age and more about what you're doing with your life. I'm a full time student, I'm flatting and I plan to leave the country after I graduate. I wouldn't want to date someone who was still at school or still living with their parents, and I wouldn't want to date someone who wants to settle down, get married and have babies. As long as we're at about the same place in our lives I don't see why not.

Z3ni · 3rd Feb 2011, 02:19 PM

Well.......... below er.. *cough* 45

Idonteven · 3rd Feb 2011, 02:22 PM

well, I don't like to set a upwards limit, I sort of had an unofficial one before then met the most wonderful guy who just made a range seem silly to me. He was just outside what I'd consider ok. 4 years older, well 5 I guess by 3 months. So I'd say 5 years older is my limit if I had to set one. I probably wouldn't even think about dating anyone over that. As for younger than me, 2 years younger. Any more more and I'd just think its wrong.

Beachboi92 · 3rd Feb 2011, 02:24 PM

im 18 and i'd say any lower is highly unlikely but i can't see myself going beyond 1 maybe 2 years lower. I can't stand high school, the people in it, or the mentality it comes along with so they would have to be mature. and i would only date someone as old as 21-22 any older and i think there would be to big of a disconnect between our lives and it would never work. Honestly even 22 is pushing it.

However if i connected with an older person or anyone 16+ who i also found attractive i would probably go for it. But even that considered i can't see myself ever being interested in anyone over 35, that would just be to weird for me. I feel dirty just typing that high a number in this thread xD

volleyren · 3rd Feb 2011, 02:37 PM

I'm 23, and I've found myself often looking up to people who are 22 and 21 (sometimes even 20!) for their maturity and levelheadedness. Maybe I try too hard to see the best in people, or maybe I'm not really so mature myself. But in general, I'd be more inclined to stay within a ±2 or ±2.5-year band.

**Maddy** · 3rd Feb 2011, 03:05 PM

About 18 to 25. I've mostly been interested in girls a year or two younger than I am, not sure why, but I'd be cool with a few years older as well.

Wonderless · 3rd Feb 2011, 03:17 PM

Mine is up to 3 years older, only because senoirs scare me lol so my age rage is 14-17 most of the senoirs at my school are 18-19

**Mogget** · 3rd Feb 2011, 03:23 PM

I've dated as high as the upper twenties (not sure of his exact age, it was only a few dates), and would be willing to date anyone who was both eighteen and had left high school.

Progress · 3rd Feb 2011, 03:29 PM

+4/-2

Shevanel · 3rd Feb 2011, 03:30 PM

2 Years Up. 2 Years Down.

That's just me personally though.

Strawberry · 3rd Feb 2011, 03:31 PM

15-18. I'm 16, and the girl I'm interested in right now is 17. If I went lower than 15, I'd be dating a middle schooler, and I'd feel pretty gross. If I went too much higher than 18, people might think bad things about the other girl... So, yeah, 15-18 sounds good to me.

Z3ni · 3rd Feb 2011, 03:34 PM

Hmm. I feel like a freak.
