Hello I am 32 years old lady. I want to know what is the right age gap between couples for falling in love with each other? Can a younger guy date an elder women or vice versa?

@funnyAcai449,

there's not such a thing as a "right age gap". Love is ageless.

Thanks for replying. Here my society consider it a sin. I am facing this same problem and I don't understand how to tackle it.

@funnyAcai4492 Hello. Personally, I've never been in a relationship with anyone more than 5 years older or younger than me. However, I knew the real examples of the age differences up to 12 years, and I believe that could be not a big deal as long as both partners are under 50.

But I think it might be interesting to check what could be behind the cultural or religious beliefs about the age difference. Maybe it would be good to consider that at some age people do not want to or are no longer capable to have children (most cultures or religions put a strong pressure on this point)? Or maybe it is due to the fact that both female and male bodies are finally getting old, and it can cause big differences in their needs, sometimes causing unresolvable problems, with some risk of moral or legal complications?

How would you like the idea it all depends on what you expect from your relationship? And what you might expect from it within, let's say, 10 years. Of course, nobody knows the future. Here and now is the most important. But how would you feel about looking at this from a broader perspective?

It is not at all about discouraging (or encouraging) you, because you are the best expert on your own life.

Thanks. You are right after some age human body is not capable to reproduce. Generally I have seen couples white guy older than girl. My own father is 20 years elder than my mother but elder girl and younger boy is not accepted easily. I can't understand this. I mean I m not saying there must be more than 20 years of age gap but 4-6 years of difference is fine along with mutual understanding and comfort.
