Age difference is a problem when is more than 4-5 years ,cos you may not have in common that much with your partner . However ,the future of the relation depends on how this difference is handled .
The 29 -years boy engaged to a 15 years old may hane no problems now , but in few years she would probably regret her choice and start to look for a younger guy .

Okay, this is going to make me sound like a tramp, but I'm 18 and I've been on dates with 28 year olds. I think this is fine, but I never really intend on going any farther than maybe a kiss with them. I wouldn't consider having a "relationship" with a guy that much older - it's more a mutual understanding that we can flirt and such. I just find that I have a lot more in common with them in terms of interests and where I'm at, but at the end of the day, an age difference like that really does make me uncomfortable. I think 5 years older is my limit for serious relationships.  And no minors - the 5 rule doesn't apply to 13 year olds - eek.

i used to consider 2 years the maximum, but i had a bf when i was 15 who was 20.  i really wouldnt advise doing this bc i couldnt see him a lot so he ended up not exactly being a great bf.  but if he treats you right, age is just a number.

I am really a believer that age doesn't matter.  But I think that really applies with the older you get.  Like a 25 year old and a 30 year old, no big deal.

But at the teenage years, you go through so many changes and just a few years difference you are very different emotionally.  I being a college freshman could never go out with a sophomore, because I am just emotionally not at the same level as that person.  
I think it really depends on maturity and whether you want the same things form a relationship
But if you two feel that you connect well, all the power to you! Hummm...a sophomore in high school (or even a junior) with a freshman in college.  This is completely different.  One is worried about driving and the Friday football game, while the other is worried about life decisions including marriage.  

Hey but maybe that is just who I am, I am sure that there are many 18 year olds that are still concerned with picking their nose.

As I said before age is not that big of a factor with the older you get, but the younger you are the more age takes a role.  Every situation is different and so only the individual can tell.

Age is nothing but a number.
I say you can go the limit of being 23 and dating a 16 year old.
Nothing lower.
But it depends on those two people.

Well.. Age is just a number..

But I'm nearly 15 and i wouldn't want to date any1 more than 5 years older than me.. Thats just weird..

Maybe when the ages are just like 30 and 39 or something... But i think more than 5 years older is kinda weird.

It depends on each particular couple or even each individual. If they are both comfortable with it and are mature enough to handle the difference and what people might say about them, it's fine. My boyfriend is 23 and I'm 17 and I barely even think about it. And we've been happily together for 7.5 months now and are only now talking about having sex soon, so it's not like he's just after me for sex. We were able to make a connection on an emotional as well as an intellectual level despite the age difference.

i think age ain't nothing but a number who cares how old you are as long as one person isn't 10 and the other is 72 then it don't matter you get me i am 14 so i don't really know much about love but love is the closest thing we have to magic so who are we to take that magic away from someone because of there age that is not fair i was madly in love with an 19 year old but things didn't work out but not because of age it was living arrangements but anyway i loved him and no one was gonna take that from me no matter how hard they tried so age is just a number remember that

Well this topic has come up for me personally lately.
I'm 17 and the girl I liked was 14, we decided to date, but have been having some problems, especially along the lines of getting support for it from our parents.  Personally, I believe age shouldn't matter however.

Well, as you said, TEEN dating, it doesn't seem to matter much since Teens are roughly the same age.
Now, in MissKate's case, thats a bit over the top.
