photosynthesis Posted August 3, 2005 Posted August 3, 2005 I think age matters. age difference is OK and it should be relative (i.e. a 20 year age difference between a 70 year old and a 90 year old doesn't make as much of a difference as it does between a 20 year old and a 40 year old. but i know people in their 20's who are dating people in their 40's and it just tweeks me out.
Christie_M Posted August 3, 2005 Posted August 3, 2005 (edited) I don't think that's right... I picked 5 years at the most. Edited August 3, 2005 by Christie_M
StColette Posted August 3, 2005 Posted August 3, 2005 I said age doesn't really matter. If God wills for someone to fall in love with another person who is 20 yrs or more older or younger then so be it
kaidoh Posted August 3, 2005 Posted August 3, 2005 age doesn't matter, i think when ever you r read to marry. also that can u get out of datein that u cant get out of friendship?

Laudate_Dominum Posted August 3, 2005 Posted August 3, 2005 I picked 8 yrs just because it sounded good. But I think it depends on a lot of things. In general it's up to God, but there certainly must be reasonable limits.. maybe. But I suppose I agree with Jennie, for the most part.
White Knight Posted August 3, 2005 Posted August 3, 2005 I think it has to be aleast ethier 2-5 years, or none at all. I really dont think A person sould date someone older than them or younger than them by a decade or something. When that happens I think its more of a lustful relationship as opposed to Love. Really Love, uncondictional Love knows no age. Thats a Fact.

homeschoolmom Posted August 3, 2005 Posted August 3, 2005 3 3/4 years was not a choice... So I didn't vote...
Carrie Posted August 3, 2005 Posted August 3, 2005 Age doesn't matter. Period. [quote]When that happens I think its more of a lustful relationship as opposed to Love. [/quote] You're kidding, right? I know a couple who are 17 years apart. They have one of the most healthy, blessed, and sacred marriages I've seen. They are doing far better than alot of the couples I know who are the same age or very near the same age. Your generalization makes no sense. When God puts someone special into our lives, age shouldn't be a determining factor in whether or not we see them as "dateable." Who are we to put limits on what God can do?
homeschoolmom Posted August 3, 2005 Posted August 3, 2005 [quote]In terms of dating relationships, what's an acceptable age difference?[/quote] The problem is there isn't AN acceptable age difference... any of those can be acceptable...
voiciblanche Posted August 3, 2005 Posted August 3, 2005 I don't know for sure. I do agree with what people are saying about not messing around with God's plans, but we also have to take scandal into account. Obviously, a minor in a "dating" relationship with someone much older (meaning, not another minor) than him- or herself is almost always completely inappropriate. Now, would a twenty-year-old dating a forty-year-old be scandalous as well? I don't know.
Jaime Posted August 3, 2005 Posted August 3, 2005 Voiciblanche All you need to know about dating at the age of thirteen is this. Boys smell bad. And when girls are not around, they like to fluffy air extraction a lot. There is more information about boys that will be released to you when you are 30.
