Age ain't nothing but a number. Falling for someone is a process that comes with
all kinds of questions along the way. Regardless
of the answers, most of us like to believe that
love can conquer any differences. One of these
concerns might be an age difference.
more. An age gap can come with some challenges, just
like all relationships come with their own
challenges. There’s never going to be a magic
number of years between you two that
determines whether or not it’ll work out. So
whether you’re dating someone younger than you
or unfairly judging someone for doing so, here
are some assumptions you might want to check
at the door.

1.Older people are creepy.

Every time any of us put ourselves out there
romantically, we run the risk of seeming like
creeps because we’re being vulnerable. As long
as the two people involved are being respectful
of each other’s boundaries, there’s nothing to
judge here.

2.Younger people are
immature.

Determining someone’s maturity level is a lot
more complicated than a simple math problem.
Your personality, life experience and a ton of
other factors — including your age — are
involved. Dating a younger guy or gal doesn’t
mean that they can’t be as mature (if not more)
than someone your own age or older. And let’s
face it, making these assumptions isn’t a grown-
up way to approach dating, either.

3.You don’t have anything
in common.

If you’ve ever met someone where the only thing
you have in common is your age, you know that
can get old really fast. But it can also serve as a
nice reminder that your age doesn’t have to
dictate a certain personality. There are plenty of
people in this world to connect with on the basis
of so much more than how many years you’ve
been alive.

4.You can’t understand
each other’s references.

If you can’t keep up with the references of
someone you care about because of a few years’
age difference, then you really aren’t trying. You
have the internet, so use it.

5.Your relationship with
each other has
something to do with
your relationship with
your parents.

People are so quick to cry mommy or daddy
issues when they encounter a couple with any
sort of age difference. Typically this kind of
judgement comes from outsiders who have little
to do with the people in the relationship. Not
only do these opinions not matter, they say a lot
more about those expressing them than the
couple in question. You could arguably trace any
decision, romantic or otherwise, back to your
parents if you try hard enough, but there’s no
need to obsess over that.

6.It’s all about money.

Two people in a real relationship are almost
never going to make exactly the same amount of
money. Someone always has to earn less, but
this can always change over time, and it’s never
a reflection of either person’s age. Plenty of
young people make bank, and no one at any age
likes to be used for that. If this is happening in a
relationship, then the problem is much bigger
than a DOB.

7.Younger people are
completely different
from your peers.

Younger people are from a few years after you —
not a different planet. Of course they’re different
people who bring different perspectives, but
these differences aren’t determined by age
alone. And this is good for romance because you
most likely don’t want to date yourself.

8.It can’t be a deep
relationship.

Being physically attracted to each other is a
normal, healthy part of relationships, but that’s
rarely the only reason why people are in them.
When there’s an age gap, it’s easier to unfairly
assume that the attraction is only physical.
Being attracted to someone rarely makes you
ignore every other aspect of connection, though,
so a majority of relationships come with depth.

9.You care what people
think.

Whether you’re the younger person in a
relationship, the older one, or the outsider
judging from afar, the heart wants what the
heart wants. People who want to be with each
other generally don’t care about a few years’ age
difference or about what anyone else has to say
about it. We all want to find love and when we
do, we just want people to accept and support
that as long as no one gets hurt. So let’s give
couples (and each other) the benefit of the
doubt and leave the math out of it.
