The Rebound


Does age really matter in a relationship? As in is it awkward for girls to date younger guys? Somehow many people are still preferably to the idea of guys older than girls. I used to have this perception as well. Now i'm unsure of it. But even celebrities like Justin Bieber is dating woman older than him. So age could be just a number that symbolizes how long you have been alive. When you're in love age is nothing. At least you're not having an age gap of 20 years. After all, love is blind, it's the same like people used to be blinded by social class, race and religion. As long as it is a man and a woman, it's fine. Gays and lesbians make me sick somehow.

I think it depends on emotionally maturity of the people involved. If both parties are mature enough to handle a real relationship and genuinely care about each other, then it can work out and last. Vice versa. But in average, guys are like 2 years behind girls' maturity level. So it's still better to pick a guy whom has the same maturity level as you. It will be easier and more productive in your relationship. Guys often get into relationships with older girls for the same reason girls go for older guys. They're seeking for maturity, stability and experience.

While many are still insisting in making issue out of the age difference, it's just a minor factor in the success of a relationship. Bonding of heart and mind make relationships work. Respect, trust and true love matter far more than just age.
