So I’ve got a friend at work; just turned thirty. He’s perhaps not the smartest tool in the shed, and whilst he does look thirty, I think if we were guessing his age by his level of maturity, we’d place him fairly squarely in the 18-22 age range.

Anyway, 30 has had this ongoing thing with this girl at work. She’s 19. He sees nothing wrong with it, and whilst that may be true from a legal standpoint…most of us think it a bit … untoward at best.

This post isn’t about him though. It’s about you. What’s your age cut-off, both high and low for dating?

    (age/2)+7 is just the lower limit… anything below that is definitely weird, but above that it’s potentially not…
    btw, imagine those age gaps you just listed with a male as the younger one and the woman as the older one… not so automatically terrible that way, is it?

        Party #1 is cool with it.
        Party #2 is cool with it.

        Why should anyone give a shit what the uninvolved person thinks?

        You probably have some control issues of which you’re not aware. Do some thinking, explore why you feel the way you do. It could be enlightening for your self-development.
