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.
