You're thinking of settling down at 26? Wow...
Anyways, no thats not to young. Do what makes you happy, not what makes his family happy. |

Welcome to dating with a huge age gap! Be ready for the stares and questions.
Also, I think you both need to see where you are in life. At 20, I highly doubt he's ready for marriage or even getting serious. However, some 20-year olds are ready.
I HIGHLY suggest recommending that he lives on his own a few years before moving in with you. Not only will it help your relationship, but it'll help HIM gain some independence too. |

What i'm going to say people might not like. But if you like him them your own intrestes and happiness should come first and you should let your family know that. If he makes you happy that is the only thing that counts and whos to say this is mr. right and the next guy you date will be wrong for u and u will hate him but your family likes him. go with your heart and guy and brain and continue dating the guy. |

The age difference isn't a problem. My best friends brother is married to a lady that is like 10 years older than him. It all depends on his maturity level and how willing he is to settle down. |

no, of course not, men (and women) mature at different ages, if you're happy with him, and he with you, ignore what people say.
You're old enough to make your own mind up, and IF anything does go wrong, then you've only got yourself to blame, which is a good thing.
I know many people with bigger age gaps than 6 years and they're perfectly happy.
Age is just a number, it's what's inside that counts.
Thing is, what does HE want? If you are in a relationship with him, then it's give and take, surely.
If the relationship is just beginning, which it sounds like it is, just enjoy and see what happens, everyone is 'nice' in the beginning, it's whether they continue to be nice or not ;o) |

wow thats weird a friend of mines in that situation (cept i'm friends with the guy, and the girls couple of years older than you).
Well it's not reaaly up to your parents whether you settle down or not, its up to you. Do u want to start to settle down? Cause to be honest i think 26 is a bit soon (well for me anyway lol)
If you don't wanna finish with him, dont. But If you want thing to get more serious you should probably let him know and see how he feels and then decide what you should do.
Good luck. |

when I was 19 I dated a 25 year old, I am still with him now 10 years later. I was worried at the time that we would want different things from the relationship so we took each day at a time and did not worry too much about the future. I would not get too hung up on what may or may not happen, if you like the guy go for it and see how things turn out. Only you can tell if this realtionship is worth the investment. The age gap does not seem that large now we are older and 6 or 7 years is not really that big a gap i the grand scheme of things. |

if you love him and he loves then you do what you thinks right your family cant pick the guy you love only you can so if you want to settle down with him then do it cos everyone only gets on chance at true happyness so go for injoy yourself cos it not every day you find somone that funny and intresting so just cos he's younger then you dosent mean a thing if you bboth love each other
hop it help and good luck |

to be honest i would think so coz they are just starting out in life and trying to find their feet into the world but perhaps u should wait a few years till he has a steady job with a good income. |

Well age is kind of important in marriage and relationships, but if you love him that much and he loves you as much as you do, i don't think 6 years age difference make any problem. |
