I've heard people say half your age plus seven is fine, so a 50 year old can date a 32 year old, but I'm not sure if that is accurate or just a made up formula.

Is there an age gap that is acceptable?

My normal limit was, "If she was literally a baby while I was a teenager, that's a no", but I wonder what other people's limits are.

Assuming she (or he) is over 21 and legal to drink, what is the age that is too young for you to date?

Half your age, plus 7. That's the rule.

Too young to date, or too young to "date"?

Too young to date, or too young to "date"?
This is the key.

Half plus 2 has worked out my direction a few times.

Wouldn't have actually dated them though.

Well. If your kids are teens.
Oldest kids age plus 10.

If your kids aren't teens yet.
Quit jackin around and stay with mom. They need you together.

I went by the half your age plus 7 rule. My now-fiancee was 19 and I was 23. It's not as bad at 22/26.

You can 'date' anyone over 18, but I'm talking about possibly-leading-to-relationship dating.

If it's a 4 year difference and you're both over 18, you don't need a formula to tell you that is okay.

I broke the 1/2 + 7 rule, I was 28 when we met and she was 19. 20 when we started dating.

OP, the real questions are: how old are you? How old is the acquired target? How are her cans?

I am 27 and almost exclusively date (shoot for the) 21-25 range.

How young is too young if you dont want to date them, but just sleep with them?

Asking for a friend.

That's easy. Any activity that could result in your mugshot being taken means you went too young.

Just ask any of those horny teachers that show up in the news.

It's so much easier when the girl is somewhat close to your age IMO. There's just too much of a disconnect if the age gap is large in my experience.

I dunno, anyone under 25 would probably make my friend seem like a creep.

At 30, dating range would be 23-38. "Dating" range would be 18-still attractive.

If you are single and under 30; don't worry about rules.

Then you answered your own question.

I briefly dated a guy that was 18 years my senior. It wasn't too odd for me at the time, but if we had continued it would have gotten weird as he aged. If you're 30 and he is 48, that's not so bad, but 50 and 68 and dating, that's kind of not very appealing.

Was he robbing the cradle?

Do the quotation marks around date mean butt stuff?

It's a pretty good Blink 182 song, though

Half +7 is probably a good rule to follow.

Also, the spouse should be closer in age to you than your kids.

If you're gay, do you get to divide by 2 plus seven OR minus 7 times 2?

I have a client and friend that traded in his old wife for a younger model. He's 48 and she's 30. There are obvious advantages with the nice tight bod and all but when they go out with his friends and their wives that are the same age as him, the young piece doesn't have anything in common with them and thus doesn't have anything to talk about. So she will just go in the other room (when at a vacation home) while the adults are talking and play on her iPad. Which I guess is not so bad now that I've typed it out. Don't really have to talk to her much and as long as she has that credit card she's ready for action on a moment's notice.

I think it should be perfectly acceptable for a mid 40s guy to bang several mid 20s women as long as it's just a sexual thing.
