IM 19, HE'S 16... IS IT OK?

[PAOUEE]

well im 19 y/o, my boyfriend is juz 16 y/o... could dat be normal and ok??? anyway he's mature when he talks,,, not a kid at all... i juz need your points of view...

I don't find anything wrong with a 3 year age gap, whether you or he is younger. But a 16 year old guy, no matter how mature he sounds, still has a lot of growing up to do. Females mature physically and emotionally much faster and earlier than males. Keep the relationship lighthearted first, and give him time to grow up. If you are meant for each other, you can wait.

[ChiQui]

I really don't see anything wrong. As long as you both get along and think that you know each other very well, then go ahead. :)

I don't see anything wrong, PAOUEE.

I might add all the standard things you've probably heard from older people: be careful, don't get pregnant, and please, please, don't let your romance affect the other important things in your lives, such as school, friends, and family.

[eureeka]

thats a nice advice you got there kuyadanny! teenagers today do face a lot of problems...

[AteRonee]

I don't see anything wrong, besides it's only a 3-year gap. You belong to the same generation (that's less complications for you two, imagine if you were in a relationship where the age gap is 10 years and greater instead; but that's another issue)

Just don't take this relationship too seriously as if it will be your one and only. Both of you are still very young and still have a lot of growing up to do. You have the whole world to experience... so many things to do, places to see and many other people to meet in the future. :-)

Well, to each his own. I personally prefer older guys (at least 2 years older than me :D) but one of my good friends back in Diliman is going out with a guy 3 years younger than her. I hear her complain about little things, but as Ira have said, girls really do mature faster than boys. The little quirks here and there are just the facts you have to live with in your or any other relationship. Trust me, maturity isn't even about the age thing. Guys can be 25 and you expect them to be far more mature than you are (as for me, I'm just 21) but you're mistaken. As long as you get along fine and at your age and his age, take it easy. Just have fun, take it each day as it comes because you guys are very young to even think about things so far ahead of you (naks, feeling ate na naman ako! :))

hi! it won't matter if you're 40 and he's 37.

[bugsbunny]

ok lang no....
i know a girl who married her guy whos 5 years younger than her...
if youre not bothered by the age gap why worry about what others think...
besides youre the one whos in the relationship with a younger guy...
i say if you love a guy, you love him no matter what even if he is 3 years younger...
know what i mean? :)

[Reinne]

It doesn't matter!
It's really ok! :) as long as you love, treasure and accept each other.

[Jasell]

I don't see anything wrong about it. Ako nga crush ko 26 buI'm only 16. Ang layo ano?

ok lang yan. basta you enjoy each other's company and you treat one another with respect.

[Xiaoyu]

K lang yan...lam kong gasgas na ang line na 'to, pero age ain't nothin' but a number, sabi nga ni aaliyah (or was it brandy??)!

My first boyfriend was almost a decade older than me..I was 12, he was...tantananan!!! 19! Yan ang AGE GAP! Halos may generation gap na nga, eh...pero nag-last kami ng 3years...Kaya age isn't really an issue for as long as nagji-jive yung mga ugali niyo.

[schadow1]

ok lang talaga yun eh. age doesn't matter.. it's the maturity that matters. if you enjoy each others company... hell man.. nothing can separate you. when there's love, understanding, respect, etc.. etc.. it's a perfect relationship! pero siyempre.. wala munang kasalan hihih! :) Coz you can't get married if the 2 of you are not

1) Psychologically..
2) Emotionally..
3) Physically..
4) Financially..
5) Lovingly...

READY!!!

That's the five things you have to keep in mind.

Actually, my ex-gf was 25 and I'm only 19. Though we didn't do well in the end.... I may say, it was a good relationship. We both needed each other. She needs my strength and encouragement... and in return, I needed her love and maturity. Actually, we're both mature. We broke up coz I failed to give her enough quality time in the end. I had my school and business behind me that's eating my attention for her. I was wrong coz i failed to give her enough quality time... and she was wrong coz she failed to understand i was doing all of this for her. :(

Well, that's life! Eniways, we lasted for 3 years.

Hope this would serve as a lesson for all of you pex people! :)

It's not that bad naman di ba? It's always up to both of you guys kung pano niyo iha-handle yung relationship nyo. Just don't get affected with what others say. Eniweiz, good luck na lang to both of you!

[Rydex]

Nope, I don't see anything wrong with that scenario. Imagine urselves 20 yrs from now. So ur 39 and he's 36, does that make any difference?

PEACE :)

[victoria]

parang lumabas na ang ganitong situation sa young star nang philippine star??

[aimen]

PAOUEE.... u know me? hehe! i guess, u have read their advice but still it's up to you to decide. there's nothing wrong with that! if u really loved him and he feels the same way too & as long as u get along with each other! and most especially you should have a communication and a time to be together! ok *** yun! kaya sana... magpakita na sya sa amin! hehehe! that it! bye!
