Is this too much of an age difference?

I am 27 and this girl is 21. Is that too much of an age difference? This girl is really cool, but seriously I am already in my career and I have traveled all over the world and lived on my own for almost a decade. This girl is still in college and hasn't even been to the east coast. I feel like a creeper!

Is this too much of an age difference?
as some of the others have already said, 6 years really isn't that huge of an age gap ..age is a number .. what counts is the level of maturity .. i know 40 year olds that act like they're still in their 20's that i wouldn't trust to babysit my cat, and 20 year olds that have twice the maturity of their peers .. if your girl is 21 and acts/has the interests of a 16 yr old, that could be a problem, but if you share common interests, and bond on other levels then i wouldn't worry about it

... and just because she hasn't travelled to the extent that you have isn't something to measure compatibility or maturity against .. some people never leave their hometown or state .. it's the girl herself and how the two of you feel is what's important ... if you're unsure, then (since you're saying that she's 'really cool' and not the love of your life/let's rush to the altar next week) .. my advice is take your time, enjoy the moment and see where the relationship takes you .. if nothing else you could be making a lifelong friend and your soulmate could be waiting somewhere for you :)
Reply:It's enough of an age difference to make things a little difficult, but I don't think it's enough of a difference to be considered creepy. You're right about how you're both in completely different stages of life, that never makes a relationship easy. But creepy? Heck no.
Reply:no, age is only a number. %26amp; heart doesnt age.

as long as you love eachother.



%26amp; your age difference is fine.
Reply:It really depends on the girl I think, shes 21 so shes young and is probley into the whole clubbing thing and staying out late and what not, so if you like this kind of stuff then you will probley be ok, then again she could just be a 21 year old woman going to school and doesn't do all the things alot of 21 year old kids do, if this is the case I'm sure things will be fine as well. Age is a tough thing, I personally don't think too much about age because everyone is different, plus 6 years is not all that bad anyway.
Reply:I am 19 years old and my boyfriend is almost 34! 15 whopping years but we have the most beautiful relationship. When a woman is younger, a man feels the need to look after her and guide her through life. She depends on him for protection, which is in his manly nature to provide. It really is very special. Most women, like myself, are old souls. It's also scientifically proven that women are most attractive to males between the age of 18-26, so you can't blame yourself for being attraced to someone that young.
Reply:that's ok... I've dated girls 10 years younger and 10 years older....



go on have fun.
Reply:Not at all. Women generally mature faster than men anyway, so you're probably at about the same level. At 21 she's enough of a grown woman to handle a 6 year age difference.
Reply:honey let me tell you my bf is 39 and i am 30 age is not a problem.... enjoy her company... ... lots of luck
Reply:Not a big deal. Love sees no numbers. Plus you get to show her the world! Like Aladdin!!!!
Reply:For me age doesn't matter as long as the love you both feel is true. I'm 22 and I have 32 year old boyfriend. You know the only important thing is you two feel comfortable and happy together, and all other things follow. Good Luck!
Reply:To be honest, this is something I don't feel that anyone but people who know you and her personally can answer.. if they do, they are forming personal opinons that really mean nothing.



You know this girl and her maturity level. It sounds to me like you should tell her that you like her and you care for her but you just don't want to think it's going somewhere if she isn't ready for a serious relationship, etc. Some girls are ready to settle down and and be that way at 21 and some aren't. Most girls mature faster than guys, so chances are with your experience and her being 21 and having some school behind her, you'll be pretty close to the same maturity level.



Love knows no age.
Reply:ehh i dunno. i mean its six years, it's not that bad. it could be alot worse. but 21 and 27 is a big difference in maturity. it's be different if it was say 36 and 42. but, what does not being to the eastcoast have to do with anything?
