Can Older Girls Date Younger Guys?

Dear Advice Girl,

There's this really cute guy I'm crushing on, and I'm pretty sure he likes me back. The problem is, he's a year younger than me and I feel weird about it. I mean, I've heard it's hard for a girl to date a younger guy because of maturity differences.

Signed,
   Lizzy

Dear Lizzy,

In general, you're right. Girls tend to mature faster than guys (although guys do catch up...eventually), which is why you see a lot more younger-girl couples than younger-guy couples.

But there are plenty of exceptions to that rule. So if you feel like the vibe is right between you and a younger guy, then go for it. As long as you like each other, age shouldn't matter. (You know - as long as it's legal.)

And if anyone gives you trouble about it, here's what to do.

Love,

The guy im dating is 9 mos younger than me but he's mature enough. I dont think age has anything to do with it. Its just a number. Wutt really matters is how you feel about the person and how they feel about you.

Age difference shouldn't matter in a relationship, unless it's illegal. Your love shouldn't be judged by an age difference; if you think he's the right guy for you, then go after him! Good Luck(:
