when it comes to age differences, whats the biggest gap between you and a partner? Has it ever affected a relationship? Has it ever affected a relationship simply because of laws? Which brings me to my next question about 18+/minors relationships... anyone know where I could find state laws on it?

thanks.

Biggest age gap I ever did was date someone 23 years my senior at one point.. (I was 17, he was 40)..

My thoughts? Tough to say really.. I think more depends on emotional age than anything else.. if the person you're with is on the same developmental stage as you, then it's good.. if they're not, regardless of chronological age, things are bad..

state laws, unsure, I'm not an american so probably someone else can answer that better than me..

the internet is a wonderful and disturbing place.

when I was 12, I had a girl at the age of 16. THAT was a gap ...

I don't know what you mean by "partner", so I don't know if this one qualifys. But when I was 20 I had a continuing "relationship" with one of my college professors for a semester. He was 62. He was a very fun and kind one, and definitely good to me. Love, Venus.

see... as one gets older a larger gap becomes possible because a year is a much lower percentage of ones total life span... thats my thoughts atleast.

I was 15 he was 17..to tell you the truth I never really relized the difference. We basically had the same maturity level...girls develope two year quicker supposively
