does age matter in a relatonship?

Does age matter in a relationship or not? I have fallen for some1 who is 24 years older than me and im 20 and he still meets people off the net but says nothing is happening between them anymore but still goes out to movies and for dinner and has him stop. So i dont know what to do coz he is worried bout age and i am worried about trusting him to meet another people and not do anything. Any suggestions?

I would say age matters but always depends on the people in the relationship. If they can find other things that have in common and communicate in more that one level then it will work. It is important to trust someone. If you cant do that with him then you will be better off to start something else with someone you can trust.

Age matters is down to the person. Personally anyone over like 5 years, unless special I completely blank tbh.. Kinda mean but I cant connect? Trust is a builder and a killer in a relationship. You have to work out if you can trust him.

I think it's best to trust nothing except life, and only life.

In my mind, age doesn't matter at all, it's an irrelevant physical matter - love transcends anything and everything. It's what is most important. However, I'm talking about true, unconditional love.

Though there are exceptions for instance if you are talking about a 40 year old and an 8 year old, to state the obvious.

Age is a strange one. If the relationship is going to work, then age shouldn't really matter - its all about how we act in a relationship, I think.

Its a tough one.

Though at the moment I'm too single to really comment

@Stuey... big warm welcome to the site!
=================================
About the age thing... I don't really think age matters either! If things worked out and you went for a relationship and stay together... it might become an issue later down the line though! 24 years is a big gap! When you're 36 - he'll be 60 and 46 - he'll be 70! Say he lives to 90 that means that you'll be on your own age 66! :frown:


Catch you laters,

Fair point about 70 and 46.. I guess do what your heart says not the age. =]
