relationship-mental age
this weekend i learned something really important when it comes to dating. knowing someone's relationship-mental age.
i am all for the whole "half your age and add 7 years and this makes the youngest that you should date". according to this theory, i should date boys between the ages of 20 and 38. personally i prefer dating boys in their twenties. because i have no problem with dating a boy who is 20, i will believe that my relationship mental age is 20. i am also happy to note that this age has increased in the last five years. but what happens if you exclusively prefer dating people out of that age-range? would this increase/decrease your relationship-mental age? for example, i have a friend who is 23. he has recently fallen for a boy who is 15. after speaking to him about this, i realized that all his views on relationships and love are those of a stereotypical 15 year old. would this make his relationship-mental age 15? i was just wondering what other people think about this. it is something that never really crossed my mind before *huggles* nathaniel kristofer

My g/f gets mad at me because I act 1/2 my age.
 I want to be a Toys 'R Us kid OK!!! But seriously, if you date a person a lot younger than you are they cannot possibly understand some of the things you think. Without the experiences one gains with 'growing up' trying to have a discussion over certain issues are extremely difficult.

i am not talking about a mental age but a relationship mental age like i act half my age as well i think i am the most childlike 26 year old around but still i prefer to date people in their early twenties so that is where i would place my relationship-mental age it has nothing to do with your personality but more with your experience/views on love and relationships :)

Someone who is 8 - 10 years younger than you are will have no idea what is required to have a relationship, nor will they have any insight as to what to do in order to make one work. Eventually they will understand but it may be too late by then. Younger people in general tend to have different priorities with their life compared to someone much older. IMO, this is where the problems occur.

You would have to practise your 'sqeaking' first.
I know you know how to 'squick'. :041:

NOOOO~ Shoujo anime is wholesome and light hearted, there will be no squeaking, kink, naughty tentacles or hentai in my shoujo romance! But maybe I'll let squicking pass this time.... heh.

like i told you on ed:
i think i want a relationship with a woman twice my age right now. give me a forty year old with two kids in elementary school and a husband who is never there for her. i don't think that this is a "relationship mental age" thing though, more of a me being a sick little pervert thing.
