Older Experiences

Yes, I have gone out with someone five years older than me. My experience with our relationship was different than most of my relationships because they're more mature and have more experience in life.

Dating Older People

Well, I always date people older than me because it seems to me that they're more mature, but sometimes it's not always true. My experience with an older person… I mean I thought it was cool because I mean it was harmless. I mean he didn't take advantage of me or nothing he just treated me like I was a queen. It ain't nothing wrong with dating people older than you -- just take responsibility for your actions and don't be dumb about it.

Older Guys Can Take Advantage

Dating somebody five years older sometimes can be a good thing, sometimes it may not be. That is because older men can be more experienced and go through a lot things like having a good job, being graduated, and making lots of money. Sometimes it may be a bad thing cause they can be childish, and sometimes they can take advantage of younger girls and use them.

Older, Not Younger

Umm no, I wouldn't go out with someone younger than me because they might think they are all that and they tha shit. Um, but I would go out with someone older cause they, well ... I think they will be more mature.

Nothing Wrong With Dating Older Men

I have dealt with someone older than me in a relationship. He was four years older than me. I can say he never pressured me into having sex -- it took us like a year to have sex. Because when a female or male date people that's older than them, the person can understand what they go through but when you date younger than you both people are going through the same thing. Like the older person most likely been through it before so it's like you getting put up on game and you know what to expect. But I don't see nothin' wrong with young people dating older people.

What I think about R Kelly going to trial is that I think it's a waste of time because it wasn't like he forced the girl to have sex with him. She wanted to do it then when she went braggin about it and she got caught up and her mom called the police and
made a big deal outta nothin'.

17 and Under

I don't know about anybody else, but I am 15 years old and I date boys 17 and under, but I guess it doesn't matter. I mean if someone's in love, it don't matter how old they are.

Older Dudes

I think it's okay because age ain't nothing but a number. Yeah, like I said, brah. And we didn't know Adam or Eve's age, brah, so it don't really matter if God didn't say nothing, brah. I love you, momma.

Meeting Guys at Bayfair Mall

My friend that goes to my school just told me about two months ago that she was at Bayfair Mall and she met someone. At first she lied to him and told him she was 16 years old, and even tough he was 20 years old he told her that she was too fine, and looked and acted too grown, that's why he wasn't trippin' off her age. Then she started telling everybody his age and people started saying he was a pervert and he was crazy, so she got scared and wanted to break up with him. So, she told him that she was really 15 years old, thinking that he would break up with her because of her age but he didn't, so she told him her mom found out and she had to break up with him.

My Older Boyfriend

Well when I was 15 years old, I had my first boyfriend who loved my for who I am. And I loved him too, but here was something that I know my mom and dad will not like at all -- me being 15 and him being 27 years old. But no matter what, he loved me even though he was too old for me. Well, I think that is ok

My Older Boyfriend

Well, I think that everyone has talked to someone older than them before. I have talked to someone that was 18 when I was 13 years old. I met him at a party. He was dancing with me and he got my number and I got his and we started talking. My mom and cousins knew but they didn’t care as long as nothing happened.

But I thought that it was a good relationship because he wasn’t very kiddy and that’s good. I liked him very much but he thought that he was getting too old for me, but he really didn’t won’t to break up with me. Some things are good to do, but some times they don’t work out how you want them to.

He knew how to treat a lady. He didn’t care about my age and I loved him. He would be childish when his friends come around, but we stayed together longer but then he got too old and wanted something older than me because I couldn’t give him every thing he desired and wanted.

My ex-boyfriend James loved me, but I was being very childish, but he still loved me.

Dating Older Men is Good

Well, to me, I think relationship with older men are good and the reason why I say that is cause not all of them is mature but the average percent of them are. Um, some of them do think that they can easily influence younger girls, half of them understands what you are going through and they are there for you, but the rest are only with you for one thing. Now, younger men - on the other hand - are very immature and don’t have a life. Bums! They are always depending on a girl and don’t do for themselves, they are just too immature for me and I like people that’s on my level and could comprehend what I'm saying and not playing games, so half the time it can be a good thing and the other it can be a problem. But I'm not going to lie though, all of the younger kids far aren’t immature, but like 79 percent of them are.
