annabelle87 Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 How old does a guy have to be in order to be considered 'too old' to be romantically involved with an 18 year old? I'm like 18 and there is this guy at my church who is 25. We're not "romantically involved" but it has crossed my mind.. Anyways is he too old? Is there some kind of rules about this kind of stuff in the Church? Thanks in advance for your replies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homeschoolmom Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 He's not too old. I'm making this judgement solely on numbers, though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamweaver Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 Hmm, I'm not a relationships expert by any means, but I had a friend, and when she was seventeen, she was involved with a 23 year old guy. The main question I'd propose, why would a 23 year old guy be involved with a 17 year old? It could be possible for an 18 year old and a 25 to have a relationship, though I think the constant explaining you'd have to do with friends and family would add an extra burden to the relationship. When you're both older, it wouldn't be as big of a difference. During the late teens/twenties, people go through a lot of changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theoketos Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 If your relationship is based on Christ, then that sounds all legal and holy to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theoketos Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 Also, I have heard this ridicoulus rule about dividing the age by half then adding seven, which would work in your case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homeschoolmom Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 Uh... that would mean that HSD is too old for me and if I were to marry now, I should marry a 25 year old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theculturewarrior Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 I think I'd like to marry an 18 year old. Yes, I'm 28, but young women just have a refreshing point of view on life, a certain innocence, a certain beauty. Besides, when women get to be about 23 or 24, they start thinking for themselves and they start thinking about what they want out of life and how to get it. Yes. 18 year olds all the way!
