Age Difference within Relationships

Every person I’ve told about Owen has had a strong reaction. Some have said, “Woah there,” and others, “That’s nice.”

I find it interesting how people are okay with the age difference when you’re older. I am in college, my junior year. I am twenty, soon to be twenty-one. Owen is thirty. My parents are ten years a part, but my mother’s reaction was, “I was twenty-eight when I met your father, it’s different.” There is truth in what she says.

But really who is to judge whether two people should or shouldn’t be together based on something like age? Of course I am not saying that it isn’t an issue at certain ages, but once you enter college and everyone is of legal age, what’s stopping you from dating someone older?

I honestly enjoy dating an older guy. Every guy I have dated before that was my age was very emotionally immature. I am very mature and need someone on my level, and dating Owen, I have seen that there is hope for guys out there. I enjoy the level of maturity he displays and the way he acts.

There aren’t these games that are being played. Everything is straightforward and to the point. What’s your opinion on age difference within relationships when in college?
