<p>....that may be true, AeroEng, but I believe that hook-ups are fine up to three years apart or whatever floats your boat.</p>
<p>I would only date a guy one year younger than me or two years older (I'm a girl).</p>
<p>well I'll be 17 on the 9th and it will officially be illegal for me to "be with" anyone<br>
under the age of 16 (or 15...something like that)<br>
Me personally I'd never date someone younger than me I just think its weird for girls to do that (not being a ******* just the weird way I think) ..I'd date someone older but not around my age group (17-25) I'd go for someone like early 30s/40s.. idk us high school girls are weird!</p>
<p>I've never dated or gone after a girl younger than me. It has to do with me being one of the youngest in my grade and that I don't associate with lower grades much (not by choice... I just don't seem to though I have nothing against it) I think around +/- 2 for both girls and guys is fine and there can be plenty of exceptions. As you get older, I think the bounds increase. Once you get into the 48 year old guy with the 26 year old chick, then it gets really weird</p>
<p>He, He - you guys are still very young.
Those things do change as you get older, more mature, meet people outside of school.
My DH is 5 years older than me. My dad is 9 years older than my mom.
Both marriages are "made in heaven".</p>
<p>I do have friends who are couples and more than 10 - 15 years apart, but those are 2nd marriages. Something happens to men when they hit middle age :-)</p>
<p>I just have one thing to say, If your relationship works, and you are dating someone up to two years younger, go for it. I am a college freshman girl dating a jr. guy in high school. But be aware because as for people like me, we are looked down on in society as being weird for it? But really people, we only live once and it’s really not that big of a deal. Plus, only immature people think it’s weird. Adults most likely aren’t too worried about it. It’s just one of society’s flaws. One of those, “I have to be popular and date an older guy thing, or I have to date someone my age or else people will think i’m weird” Trust me I understand. But I obviously make my own rules and don’t worry about what people think. A word of advise, never worry about what people think or you’ll get nowhere. I love my boyfriend, and he loves me, we are best friends, that’s all I ask for.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I tried that line in court. Didn’t go over so well.</p>
<p>That’s actually pretty funny, but that’s a different topic. I’m just sayin’ on the lines of relationships. In court, ehhh, you’ll probably get in trouble ;)</p>
<p>Things like this are difficult to generalize because people especially in high school vary wildly in maturity level…</p>
<p>Half your age plus seven. Your age, minus seven, doubled.</p>
<p>Those are your limitations.</p>
<p>I use grade level as more of a guideline than age. Like the guy I’ve got a thing for now is a year younger than me but we’re both in the same grade because I’m rather old for a senior and he’s young. </p>
<p>And I have another friend who is almost two years younger than most of his senior class because of skipping grades but you’d never know - he’s much more mature than even the oldest seniors and certainly does not want to be resigned to dating only girls in lower grade levels.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t date more than 3 years ahead, and I wouldn’t date anyone younger than 14. I’m a freshman girl.</p>
<p>Over the summer I dated a junior. I know it’s seen as really weird, but I actually do have quite a lot in common with him. I trust him, and I know that he didn’t use me at all. It was nice while it lasted!</p>
<p>It really depends. But if you’re both in HS, it’s probably not too bad. And if you’re a junior or senior, it’s not such a big deal to date a college freshie or even a sophomore.</p>
<p>When I was a sophomore I dated I guy from 8th grade for like 4 months. It was my longest serious monogamous relationship ever and it was kinda cool.</p>
<p>^ I don’t live in the US but my grade is kind of equavalent to a sophomore in the US and a few months ago, my friend dated this guy who was two years younger. My friends all gave her a lot of crap for this. She ended up dumping him.</p>
<p>I’m a senior, so I will go as far down as a sophomore. I think 2 years is a safe limit, and since I’m still 17 it’s perfectly legit.</p>
<p>Most of the girls I’ve had things with have been a year younger than me, so I don’t think it’s a big deal. I’m young for my age anyways.</p>
<p>If it’s high school, then dating someone more than a year older or younger, in my opinion, is pretty weird. First of all, you’d have nothing in com-…</p>
<p>…-Wait a second, I feel like I’ve been here before.</p>
<p>Also, I retract my previous statement. Anything more than 4 years apart is weird, anything more than 2 years doesn’t seem like it will last (but high school relationships rarely last anyway, so who cares). Anything between 1 and 2 years will last until one of them goes off to college, then they’re relationship fizzles out and they break up on mutual terms (of course, one of them might just end up screwing someone else while the other’s away, so there’s that).</p>
<p>Simply put, here in college, any student of any age is fair game. </p>
<p>And maintaining relationships from high school goin into college seems not to last. It is near folly. The temptations of a couple thousand new, fresh, and attractive girls (or boys) is too great.'</p>
<p>Really, in the perspective of guys, dating a female +1 and -4 or -5 is fine.</p>
<ul>
<li>or - one year.</li>
</ul>
<p>I think more than one year down and 2 years up for girls is weird. For guys I think the limit is two years down and one year up.</p>
