5 Truths Of Dating Someone Younger That Are Way Too Real

ADVERTISEMENT

Dating someone younger than you can be a fun, humorous experience, but like all relationships that aren’t deemed ‘typical’ by society, it can also mean tons of annoying and intrusive questions. Romanian-Canadian artist Cassandra Calin knows this all too well, and she’s got a new comic series to which anyone who has a few years on their partner will undoubtedly relate.

It’s often said that age is just a number, so as long as the lower number in your pairing is legal, go forth with courage. “I hear from lots of people looking for love, unsuccessfully, that they’ve got a restrictive list of ‘filters,’ including age,” relationship expert April Masini told Fox News. “When you open your age range filter by including younger people among your possibilities, you’ve got a whole new group of folks to date.” Just look at how many celebrity couples have age gaps – Beyonce and Jay-Z at 12 years, George and Amal Clooney at 17 years, Jennifer Lopez and… Wait, who is she dating now?

The heart of the matter is that other people don’t have to accept your relationship, and that your happiness with the person you choose is more important. If you want to see more Cassandra Calin work we’ve shared, check out women’s life problems, the truth about having a crush, and why shopping for underwear sucks.

I like how the main picture of the article is super misleading.

Being with someone a good deal older than you, older than in these comics, comes with an upsetting extra fact. You worry about how long you will have to be without them when they die first.

Even though you got done voted you have no idea how true that sentence is I am still in love with my X boyfriend and if I could I would have been with him forever and fortunately is twice as old as I am and as incredible as a relationship was it's very difficult to grow old with somebody if they have already gotten old

My husband is quite a bit older than me. We got the questions and looks for a long time and still do but we didn't care. Love is love.

My wife is 7 years older than me and believe me, the age is really just a number.

Age is just a number... until parents/relatives gets in the equation :(

My wife is 15 years younger than I am. We moved to a new town where she had family. I was complaining because I could not find a decent radio station and she told me to try one. Now she hates my music so I asked her how she knew the classic rock station. She said "because that is the one my Dad would listen to when drove down here." OUCH!

Uhhh... he's not old enough to get a beer but old enough to have sex (presumed to be having due to them being really comfortable with each other in their underclothes)? #onlyinamerica
