Is it at any way possible for a 16 year old and a 22 year old to start a relationship? My friend is 16 and turning 17 very soon. However, the guy she is "seeing" is turning 23. At the age of 23, what is a guy looking for in a relatioship? At what age do men start thinking of settling down and considering marriage?

First of all, I think it is discuting for a 23 yr old to want to date a girl that young. I am 21 and my bf is 22, and my friend's are all about the same age. Why would someone who is suppose to have a grown up mentality wanting to date a girl who is in the middle of highschool? Gee, lets think about that. Of course he is only after one thing, and if he is not only after that, don't you think he would get with somebody who is a little more mature than a 16 yr old? And if he is that immature to fit in with a highschool crowd, then why on earth would she go for him? I personally think it is wrong and just asking for trouble.

i would be very concerned for your "freind". age does not tell you when a guy starts thinking about marraige and settling down- why does that matter to you anyway? your freind is 16 years old~ and your concern is that he might be interested in marrying her??? I will assume that you are young too. '


like your "friend".


the difference between a man and woman with that gap of age difference is huge. "she" is 16 and he is 22. he is old enough to have finished college. she hasnt finished high school.


this is disgusting.
