Divide by two, add seven. Thems the rules.
Ok, lets apply this to a 12 year old. 6 + 7 = 13. WTF. Fail logic is fail.
If you're twelve, I guarantee you aren't in a serious relationship. Fail attempt at trying to pick holes is fail.

I don't think it should matter as long as it's legal. If you're in love with someone, then age shouldn't be important. I understand sometimes it does matter, after all, experiences will be different and maybe one of the two would get left behind, but as ideal as it would be to meet someone who will mature with you, I still think it would be okay for you to be with someone you loved even if they were older or younger. As long as they love you, treat you well and respect you, I really don't see why age would play a big part.
But that's just my own opinion.
However, if one is in between 14-19, I strongly think the "divide by two, add seven" rules apply.

it really depends on the maturity of the people involved in the relationship.
But, i think a 3-6 year difference is ok.

hmm it depends

a 16 year old goin out with a 19yr old would be considered wrong in my group of friends well they certainly wouldnt make it easy for you

yet a 17 year old goin out with a 20 year old is considered perfectly fine


mind you any guys hear about the 112 year old married to a 17year old freaky stuff haha

herin lies the cruz: say we use the old addage 1/2 +7: say a 5 year old could date a 10 year old. stupid. as for adulthood: if you are bolth adults, then wo cares how old you are, and they are, after all you aren't likely to be having sex with their parents, golden rule seems to make sense as you are younger, but say this: say you are in your late 30's, and you meet someone, you hit it off and have a lot in common, say there's an immense 2 way emotional connection, are you bolth going to ignore it simply because the other person is 20? 22? draw that line now...

Oh come on, we all love jailbait here at the escapist. For example:

Sure. You can lie to me and say you didn't just enjoy that, but we all know the truth.

Why do so many of you care about some silly rule in some comic? You're allowed to form your own opinions, you know.

The first girl I dated was 36, I was 22.

The most recent girl I dated was 21, I'm now 35.

Nobody else's business but mine and the person I'm dating.

If you are around 22 or younger, then I'd say 4 years.

If you are older than 22, then maybe 10 years or so. (This is assuming the other person in the relationship is the same age or older, of course.)

Although I try not to discriminate, and think it should be based on individual choice, for some reason some part of my brain goes all flashy and red above aqbout five years, which even seems like a ridiculously smasll number when I think about it logically, but I can't shake that idea. I know I would not like to date someone more than five years older than me. (As I'm 20, I also see anyone under about 18 as being questionable.)

When there's an enormous gap say...around 20 years, that is what us professors of love refer to as Enmolto crazius alla sugardaddius condition. Oh and by the way, us love professors are in need of some seriously fine test subjects, we take all volunteers so long as they are not part of the fugglius fattius breed.

I think worrying about a persons age is a artificial, fostered onto us by social stigma, element that a relationship does NOT need. Find love where you find it, be happy with it, and care not what other people think. Age isn't important, your heart defiantly doesn't consider it.

On a side note: Thank you very much for making me feel old! Knowing I could legally sleep with someone 10 years younger then me just made my grey streak grow another inch....
