Does Age Really Matter When Dating?

[IWantSoundKnowledge]

what about the law? age of consent is 18 in the US. Do they enforce it heavily if its like a 19 year old with a 15 year old? What are the consequences?

[chixy1991]

well as you can see i was born in 1991 but im 19 not 20 YET my b'day is in nov, anyways im dating a guy born 1978 he's 33 would you say that's bad?

[sweetmonie]

wow, i really have to agree with them...i am 27 and i just got out of a relationship with a 20 year old..man was it a mistake...because he is at that age where he's searching for who he really is..and seriously, every time we get into a fight he is the first to make it PUBLIC..meaning, name calling and posting it on FB for the world to see...glad thats done and over with...i think the real issue is older women and younger men...Because I'm at the age where I need someone who is ready to settle!!

[LuckyInJuly]

lets face it , we all watched this clip because we are either with or in love with someone who is quite a bit older or younger than us.....no problem i say.

[YeZhik5]

Yo get real, I'm 19 I've been dating my girl for so close to 2 years now(1yr and 11months) She is a year younger, so it might not apply to the age difference question, but getting married? LOL WUT? I mean just think about it, don't you have ambitions? things you wanna do? getting married locks you into whatever you got married at, with very slow progress, unlike when you're not married.

[chixy1991]

@YeZhik5 we're you born in 1991?

[YeZhik5]

@chixy1991 1992, and I apologize for the slang, but my opinion remains the same. Not saying, go out and party, waste your life/health, and then settle down. I'm just saying, make your life what you want it, fulfill most dreams, get a good income, and then marry.

[csrtitus]

15 will get you 20..........just sayin

[sokewt]

beyonce and jay are like 12 years apart....

whatevs, if they love you and your both ADULTS, then fuck it

[woodyfly]

12-16 year olds are the worst when it comes to immaturity. Their frontal lobe is not fully developed at that age, therefore common sense and rational thought escapes their brain very often

Man, kids that age think they're INVINCIBLE. They're always right and freaking untouchable. It's funny because most teens are like that and when you look back, you realize how wrong you were.

Dating at such an early age is a JOKE.

[Beautyfullymade]

@woodyfly NOT ALL TEENS r IMMATURE!!!!!

[AnusreeAnvita]

so so bored any guys want to rescue me

[boyninzi]

does it matter if its 2 years older?

[chrissjg]

most ppl at 13 do date but you come to realise they break up the next day so yeah do whatever but dont have sex untill your sure

[MitchKid1991]

16 is the legal age for sex. So yes he would be a pedophile.

[CuriousGeorge53142]

depends on the state.

[JordyneS]

I think it depends on the personalities and traits of the couple. You can't shove everyone on the same scale; everybody's different in sooo many ways. :)

[Citramide]

My Story: I just turned 17 in October and the girl I like turns 15 in june.. Is that too big of an age gap? Please help guys

[CuriousGeorge53142]

no.

[MitchKid1991]

if she is 13 then that is definitely too young man! Wait 4 years and then u can go out with her..... If you screwed her you would be a pedofile

[raymondleeleggs]

that wouldnt make hima pedophile, a pedo is someone who likes em under 13

[shelly10111]

no offence but some of you are fussing over such a tiny age gap, mine and my partners is nearly 20 yrs

[Toxisist]

I'm Sixteen going on Seventeen in October, and the girl is Thirteen and has barely turned that not 3 months ago, I was wondering if age matters, and if there's a problem with a 4 year difference. I'm not going out with her yet, but frankly age is the only reason i'm not. I don't know I have my doubts whether or not it will work..

[Metallica102938]

thirteen iz 2 young 4 dating

[moorigs]

As a general rule, I don't think anyone should get married before age 30...

[Dimples216]

I'm 26 and I totally agree...I'm still not ready LOL

[PicklesRTasty]

Wow I can't beleive someone asked this, my friend is in the EXACT same situation

She is 16 and her boyfriend is 20, they also want to gets married soon

[vikiisims98]

SUM1 PLEASE REPLY TO THIS!!!

well this guy asked me out and hes 16 but im 13...would it work?

[kema042290]

sorry sweetie but it won't ... teenage boys want sex

Im 19 so I should know about them lol

[yodigi101]

NOT ALL TEENAGE BOYS WANT SEX

[kakilia]

oh, hard one. dating, probably not, thought mayyyyybe, but its slim.

I refuse to date guys my age, cause of maturity. if you do date him, than do not sleep with him... bad things will come of it, i promise you.

maybe give it a lil while, see if he's what you really want.

[MissCupcake14]

yes it could , age is just a number sweetie go for it :)

[superduperdino12]

thank you,

[Beautyfullymade]

@vikiisims98 well u r a bit too youngz;(u should wait till u atleast 18

*ik u asked this question a long time ago but i wanted 2 help u out*

[chuckmei]

I keep hearing about this celebrity dating site called "C e l e b m i n g l e. C o M ", Does anyone know if this is legit and really these people or just another scam?

[jowaname]

I am 19 and my girlfriend is turning 16 in less then 2 months we both love each other very much and do plan on getting married and talk about it a lot and take into consideration the responsibility of being married.

She is the person that makes me happiest and I don't see a problem with it as long as it's really and truly what both of us want and the only way I'd have a problem with getting married to her was if she was unsure.

Also we have been together since I was 17 if that matters any.

[Thespian1592]

my early congradulations

[GreenEyesBaybee]

does age matter ?

if he's younger by 3 years ?

[divastar677]

like if the guy is 15 and ur 16 would that b bad?

[yourfaceiscrap90210]

No, hun. That wouldn't be bad at all. :) It's just that someone who's 18 or up can't have sex with someone under 18. Otherwise, it's considered statuatory rape. Even if the sex is consensual.

[Thespian1592]

which if you ask me is the biggest pile of bs i've ever heard. it's also the biggest form of sexual repression i've seen. i say give sex ed in class and teach more than the biology of it, and keep a big tin of condoms or list places you can get free condoms at, that way teens won't have to learn through trial and error

[re4rules]

but if wat if she is like 16 and im 15

[divastar677]

wht about if the guy is younger than u

[sambillieFI]

ould it be bad for ages 13 and 16 ?

[iamadog31]

I would like to see dumb blonds work like mexicans do.

[iamadog31]

Around eachother 24 hours a day 7 days a week?

I think it's more likely 6 hours a day 7 days a week at most If the people work for a living.

Maybe you got knocked up at 15 and that gay guy next to you is your son.

[SlushPile]

I am 29 and would like to date an older man. I would hope he would be emotionally mature by then! I think marriage is down to the individual but you shouldn't rush into it

[pookking]

i hate it when old guys are trying to get young girls....stop it for fucks sake get someone your own age...take or leave a few years

35 year old and 18 year old ?

i mean cmooon... all the good girls are taken and the old geezers take the rest

[Mariposa2775837]

im 22 and my boyfriend is 45, the old geezers can get the young girls cuz they know what it takes, they have experience, and you gotta admit, if a geezer can get a young woman, and a young guy cant even get a young woman, the old geezer deserves some credit

[pookking]

the geezer is half dead

get a boyfriend without alzheimers will you please?

[Mariposa2775837]

lol obviously youre single and lonely and im happy and have great sex

my half dead geezer knows how to please a woman, dont be jealous

[pookking]

obviously, your not psychic

and the reason i watched this vid in the first place was to strengthen my relationship with my GF

well if your geezer knows what buttons to push for a whore then thats that

[Mariposa2775837]

lol you're pathetic, strengthen your relationship? i guess that means its weak in the first place haha you're already having trouble lol

bye bye now! don't comment back, you're a waste of my time

[Mariposa2775837]

instead of commenting on MY relationship, go work on your own idiot, you obviously need the help if you watch videos like these

[pookking]

i was just curios, and if it helps me in the first place then ok..

and why are you watching it

i bet you dont even have a GF / BF prob not even a FRIEND,

get a life, douche

[Mariposa2775837]

wow.. you're still talking?

... bye bye!

[pookking]

im not talking , im typing ...just like you

you infantile moron

[jsg103]

Geez, i've dated my share of borderline illegal crazy high school girls like that...lol

[LuviiRoxx]

I'm 14 and my boyfriend is 13... we are only 9 months apart...people make fun of me for having a younger boyfriend...

[Candycne28096]

My friend is 16 and her boyfriend is 14...She is in 11th grade and he is in 9th grade...

[filillyni]

my dad's girlfriend is 25 an he is 40 but he is still married to my mother. i think he'll come back one day because i think in that case, age does matter!!!

[ltb702]

I will say this the 15 and the 19 are huge most 15 year olds don't work and they just got out of middle school 19 carries responsibility's like a Job and Collage theres no time to Care for some lil kid pretty much

[thermonuclearwarfare]

I am 35.

My girlfriend is 18.

We are very much in love, and the likelihood is strong that we will marry one day.

To the naysayers: Life experience is only one component of a relationship. If other aspects within a relationship prevail, in our case to an extraordinary extent by the way, a successful and long term relationship can be achieved.

[lccs187]

marriage=worst possible decision

[robatboy]

i have a q i WANT to ask some 1 that is 16 and im 14 the problem is that that im afraid we are good friends i used to be in the swimming team and when i saw her i fell in love i hate the girls in my age they go for the bad type and i know her very will i dont want to destroy my friend ship with her or make her imbaressd or sad plz comment i need help

thx to all that helped

[Cryssiann]

i tottaly agree

[Cryssiann]

age does matter

[02x9]

Give me a break! 15 and 19 is not that much of an age difference(some seniors in my school are 19). 15 and 25, now that could be a problem.

[sharkredtooth]

what is that blue drink called? it looks good!

[BloodyAngelVampire]

what about 5 years apart???

[xXcaribou749bgXx]

me and my guy..well, i'm 15 and he's 2.5 years older, so technically he's 17 right now.. i think it depends on the couple..

[zombicreature]

why the fuck you wanna marry so young? you dont like your life/

[lovers1616]

i totally disagree with this video. well to a certain extent. i am 16, and my boyfriend is 21. we have the best relationship ever. okay well i agree with the marriage at 15, i think its stupid. but just because the girl is 15 and hes 19 doesnt mean they cant hold a good relationship. this really makes me second guess all the rest of your advice. because this one just isnt true. i mean it can be in some cases but for a lot no.

[J4L1SC0]

@lovers1616 what about if im 21 and my gf is 29?? idk what to do now

[BubblyViolin11]

@lovers1616 i actually agree with dan and jenn, just because there is a difference not only in age but in maturity. some couples may be able to hold it together which is fantastic, but most can't. not to mention that speaking about marriage when you are 15 is ridiculous. what about college? what about your career? at 15, life is just beginning, and there's so many opportunities out there. is it wrong to date someone that is several years your senior, no, but only if you can handle it.

[Thongofthunder]

Im Eighteen My Current Boyfriend is 27 and my Previous was 35.

When i was with My Ex Partner (Mr X for short)

I dont think it was a problame i was 17 at the time to be fair i allways knew he wasent the one i stayed with him in hope things would change how ever in the end it was not age that Broke us up

Now im with MR Morgan I acctually think ive found the one and his still 10 years olde then me Age has never been a problame i think aslong as your over 16 your good

[Sougen02]

"I just figured it out last year" haha

xD

[Blondbombshell20]

I am getting married in may of 09. My fiance is going to be 48 in november and I am going to be 21 in december. There is 27 yr age difference, but i truthfully do not notice is it and the love i have for him is unreal. We're very happy and he treats me like a princess. I have always been attracted to older men and it's something i cannot change. I just don't find men in their 20's attractive, and not really 30's either? i dont know. I've noticed we get people looking at us when we're out

[Blondbombshell20]

but thats other people's problem. if they don't like it dont look. and a lot of people automatically think im a gold digger but I work full time and make my own money. I love him for him. I have noticed a lot of older woman get pissed about him dating me, and a lot of younger men get pissed about me dating him. Mmmm o well. I am in love and happier than ever.

[ATouchOfMagic88]

@Blondbombshell20 who cares sweetie, if your happy with your men, then other people should be happy for you, age is just a number, if both don't care about it its ok, and if both are above 18. this is a old comment, so how was your weddingday? i feel so happy for you :)

[bboyyen06]

dan and jenn are so good at this they give some good advice..

[catlover7908]

i kno how this feels, im turning 16 and my bf is 18. technically it is illegal to have sex but i say as long as ur careful and responsible, then age should not matter, as long as both are consenting. my mom hates him tho and wants me to leave him :X

[wahahe1]

hahahahahahahahahahahhahaha talk about age difference my mom and dad are 24 years apart im 15 my dads 72 and my moms 48

[wahahe1]

i know my age thing says 25 but thats cause i wasnt thinking when i put my age so i put 1983 it should be 1993

[shuriken198]

not that bad... theres been a 12 year old lady doin it with a 15 year old...

[sora4126]

4 years? That's it? That's hardly an age difference at all. I mean sure, at 15 it's kinda big, but they better wait til they're both done with college and stable!

[FreakBott]

i know exactly what she is talking about. my boyfriend just turned 18 and im just turning 15. we are exactly 3 years apart and age oes effect our relationship. my mom hates it but my dad loves him. i think age is nothing bt a number putting limits on ur life. maturity is all that matters/

[Cinlouxx]

I agree with the whole thing about being 15, but wait until 28? are you kidding me?! I think you meant to say 22 and up.

[shigan3]

well what if it is like the same age in 15

[atvking]

I'm going through the same thing right now. My girlfriend is 17, I'm almost 20, and my parents would completely disapprove of that. I don't live with them, but care a lot of what they have to say. Should I break them the news?

[lv2sing103]

thats not to bad actialy i know girl that 15 and goin gouit with 20 y-old guy thats kino weard

[atvking]

Is it legal for that 3 age difference?

[catlover7908]

no its not, not for sexual activity i mean. at least in NY, which is where i live xD

[julieXinXwonderland]

that is not bad at all.

i dont mean to sound sexist or whatever

but its proven fact females are two years more mature than males the same age as them so you two would most likely be at the same maturity level. sorry if i was bad at explaining thatbut no there is nothing wrong with the age between you two.

[meganxx23]

I agree 100% with this video

[turnontunein]

i thought in this vid they would be talking about REAL age differences...i mean..4 years means nothing...!! my boyfriend and i are 14 years apart and we have a wonderful relationship for almost a year...we are in love, and we are planing on living together, get married, travel around, and "age" has never been an issue for us...au contraire, we never felt that age is in between us or anything similar...

btw, im 21

[mariejoe5555]

oh wow. my parents are 18 years apart lol. ew=]

[xXHeroOfTimeXx]

my girlfriend and i are 4 years apart also, and have maintained a wonderful loving relationship for years now when we live 1000 miles away from each other. We have everything in common and are totally in love. Don't be naive about it thinking it will last forever or that u will be married instantly but dont let these idiots talk down your maturity

[Prons]

It's real easy for a 20 year old to take advantage of a 15 year olds inexperience :)

[Playgirl2day]

depends on the mature level l dated older men and younger and found out its all on the indivual

[Invisiblex1x]

Sorry for saying this but from all vids that i soo on DannAndJennifer i dont like this one , and i dont aggre with the * How old diference at young age my girlfrend is 13 well almost 14 aim 16 it's not right to say that age matter's if your in love and can be realy free with the person and no matter if i will be 18 at the age wenn she will be just 15 and a half , i still will be 100 % comfortable on doing enithing with her.

[GoldenBrickRoad]

THIS IS FUCKEN DUMB!!!!!!!

[SweetieWee]

Good video. I respect and have an understand of what you say.

Best thing for the 15 and 19 year old to do is forget about getting into a "relationship" and be friends, until she's 17 or something. That way, not only they will have to deal with the hardcore shit but their relationship will be a lot stronger and deeper. I believe being friends first will make good and lasting lovers. =)

Oh and plus, love is patient and kind.

[Gonji]

Wise words, and I couldn't agree more =)

[interwoven222]

My ex is 45 and I'm about to be 27. We had a very caring relationship with each other, and age did a play part,alot of it having to do with just how other's saw us, and their opinion, like my parents. But I can say we have intense and authentic love for each other.

[idgirl97]

i mean you're right for about 80% of the time someone won't be emotionally mature enough to make such a huge life decision... but sometimes people are. sometimes people know what they want! my husband and i are one of the most stable healthy relationships i've ever seen or known about, and people who really know us pick up on that. i get a lot of "Wow, you're so lucky" from people who really know us and can look past appearances.

anyways, my 2 cents. there are always exceptions.

[idgirl97]

i've been happily married for a year now, and am deeply deeply in love. my husband and i have a fifteen year age difference. we get nasty looks and nasty comments from ill-mannered people. i'm 26 and he's 40. honestly it worked out just fine. one person said "gee that must hard" when I said we had an age difference. i'd just say to say well NO not necessary. if you love someone(and you're staying within legal limits) it really can work out.

[liveup5]

Anyone over 20 who is wanting to "date" a teen ager (17 and up,no biggie) has issues. Sure,16 may be the age of consent in a lot of states,but c'mon. Why would a male or female who's 20 years or older,be with someone who is under age? Sure,it was common back in the day. Yeah,can you hear me all the way back there in the 1800's? But times change and a kid should be allowed to be a kid and not worry about some adult wanting to be in a "relationship" with them.

[SteveVarti]

Wow if you're 15...and he's 19...Don't get married omg!!!

[vlunney]

FIFTEEN?? what parents don't have this child molester shot???

[SailorBarsoom]

Child molesters aren't interested in fifteen-year-olds. Too grown up for them. All those curves and hair and bleeding every month? YUCK!

At least, YUCK if what turns you on are no-curves, hairless, no-period-yet children. Never will understand the appeal of that, but a guy into that probably won't give the time of day to a fifteen.

[SailorBarsoom]

Oh, and did she ever say she was having sex with the guy? Why do we just assume that? I mean, maybe they're doing doing it every night and twice on Sunday, but we shouldn't call somebody a "child molester" when we don't know.

Especially when that's factually inaccurate, whether or not they're doing the Horizontal Haruhi Dance.

[PaulAustraliaTeam]

I have dated older women, at age 18 she was 38

another time I dated a woman say at age 39 and she said she was 49 and months down the track being you can hide things on the internet, she was 59

[maxcool123456789]

hahahaha i gotta say......15 year olds opinions dont count and they are stupid! wow

[bArT8472]

Great explanation. By the way - my dad is 10 years older than my mom. They married when mom was 25 and dad 35.

[MetalChick1982]

Im 26 and he's 33, thats not bad, cuse we are older. but see im 7 years younger, so if i were 15 and he were 22 that's a HUGE difference, because of the mentality of the two individuals at that time, fast forward 10 or 12 years, and the relationship would work jsut fine

[NabilRU]

You guys are Pro

[toamaori]

that dress looks great on you Jenn :)

[duskeva]

I totally agree with you guys, Kids these days rush way to much and are just plain stupid =D

[liber8me]

I'm and 18 year old guy and my girlfriend is 25 and we're working out so well together :)

I know usually its the girl who is younger in the relationship, since guys are (apparently) far more immature, but we connect so well together and I love her so much

[tabathab2008]

Well my boyfriend is 3 years older.

And we are totally in love.

I'm 16 and he is 19.

[x0xthemadhatterx0x]

What would you say be the ideal age to marry?

[hehehehe7714]

25 or 23

[emoXpatrol]

You're wrong this time. Which, of course, makes me second guess all of your other advice. Four years is not that big of a difference, and I live with my boyfriend who is 15 (I'm almost 19) and there is not one damn problem in our relationship. We're together most of the time, and we're all that much stronger. Oh, and we even have large amounts of responsibility to handle. Thought I'd share some insight.

[hehehehe7714]

chill out it does not appply to every body i mean ur in 9th grade hes in collage my parents are 8 years apart but they dated in collage god!!!!!

[tlb31m]

that doesnt stop eneything from not working out time will surely tell

[TheFutureMrs01]

4 years isnt nothing...My boyfriend is 4 years older and we hardly see the age difference. and while I agree that at some point the age differene was bigger when i was younger but no so much anymore.

[omnitomx]

i dont agree with that 28 thing tho.

im 17 and feel like im finally the truest version of myself.

[SailorBarsoom]

Well, you're the truest version of yourself SO FAR.

But yeah, when Jennifer is fifty, I'm sure she'll look back at twenty-eight and wonder: who was that person? And then when she's eighty, she'll wonder who the fifty-year-old was.

[omnitomx]

4 years apart is nothing

[wheateater]

I used to think it mattered until I got old. LOL Why is it that as I get older, the age range that attracts me gets wider and wider? 25 to 48 olds look good to be now!

[quinten987]

You're right you know

age really matters when you're like 15

But I still have a question

I'm a 15 year old boy but I look like 17...

So alot of my friends are 17 and I'm acting like I'm 17 but I'm also getting close to some 17 year old girls, what do I have to do ? say I'm 15... or just lie and say I'm 17 have a great time but then they will find it out later if we get closer...

[Daxux]

tell the truth, if they dont accept you for who you are then theyre not your friends, just dont tell it straight up

[rai452]

Lying before the potential relationship even starts is like the worst thing you can do. It shows the girl (when she finds out) that she can't trust you. I know I'm not Dan or Jennifer, but that's just my personal opinion.

[mrbill1000]

ummm, that one is a tough one, especially if one partner is underage. age doesn't matter as much if both are in their 20s. I'm 19 going on 20, girl im dating is 22, going on 23, i don't think that one is that bad??

[GreenEyesBaybee]

ur a guy at 20 right ? & shes 23 right ?

dats 3 years apart......but what if its like 15 [guy] to 17 going to 18 [girl] right ?

is that wrong to you ?

[Wospwosp]

I feel as though you guys answered that question really well. Marriage at 15...as it's already been said...it's like those girls who poke holes in condoms, thinking that having the guy's baby will bind the two together permanently. It doesn't. Great vid!

[espio142]

mm I see :P

[crazyxiaoxiaomoron]

nicee...

[lavinder11]

Sometimes I equate teen marriage to a person having a baby to keep the guy around (or vice versa). Babies and contracts don't solve problems. :(

Nice video.

[Vogue1306]

looved it! :)

[furnari874]

first comment pl0x?

[mrhappy318]

UR NOT FIRST NOW LOloololol

[MoneyDevil94]

neither are you... lol

[SWinger7]

p10x?

hahahaha wtf is that?
