Does age really matter?

Listen,recently I've been talking to this guy who's a little bit younger then me. He's 18 and I'm 23. This will be his last year of high school and this situation had me thinking... while he's going to be a freshmen, I'll be going into my Junior of college (if I decide to reply for fall semester). I really like this guy, he's real mature for his age and drops alot knowldege on things I never even heard of, but I do feel guilty cuz of our age difference and I can't help but to feel so much older then he is...

I've been having alot of man problems as y'all know lol. but the young guy is the guy who makes me feel like, love really does exsist and if I just be a little bit more patient, I can have true love also. I don't have to go through all that like I have to with all my past experiences, this is one of the reason why I like him so much... I just can't seem to get over the age thing, I ask myself Why can't I find a guy just like him but a little bit older then I am?

So it had me seriously thinking about this day old question... does age really matter, I need help y'all seriously ?

sigh

Believe me, at your age, it might matter, but in 10 years (assuming you last that long) a measly 5 years will mean considerably less.

Unless legality is an issue, I say age is often neither here nor there. It's your connection and compatibility to the person that counts. Are you two evenly yoked?

If he doesn't annoy you, go for it.

I dated a girl about 21 when I was 29, and she tortured me to death with her immaturity...it was definitely a compatibility issue. The number itself doesn't prevent you, but the baggage that results (or if there is none) is where the trouble would (or would not) appear.
Fear is the mind-killer.

The only thing is though... most 18 year old males have a lot of shagging they want to get done before they're gonna consider getting married or settling down or whatever. If you are looking to get more serious, that could be a point of conflict.

Yup... this is what I refer to as the "Skittles Theory".

As a young man, you really cannot just assume that your favourite flavour of Skittle is orange if the only flavour you've tasted is orange. You really need to taste lemon, and lime, and blackcurrent, and even strawberry if you are saucy enough, and then make an educated decision as to which flavour agrees with you the best.

There's no actual evidence for this theory, but it is a scientific fact.
