No. He is not too old to date you.

If you are attracted to this guy, not amount of convincing from your parents, friends, or peers will affect your decision to either stay or break up with him. It's my opinion that 3 years age difference is considerably small.Vo.

no way! three years isn't that bad. don't worry about what your friend thinks, as long as you two really love each other than the age difference shouldn't matter, especially if it's only a few years.

well first off you are just a baby...but i dated a guy that was 3 years older than me...and honestly it didnt work out...he was ab out to go out before i could and i got jealous... also how do your parents feel? you dont want to lose family over a guy...it isnt worth it...but jsut go with your heart and never stray from it... if you think that it is right then go for it but if deep down you are unsure of it then you need to really think about it... since you asked i feel that you have a bit of doubt jsut think about what you are doing and make sure that is what you want to do.

He may not be too old. I'm 18 and my boyfriend is 21...but you need to check out if this relationship is even legal in your state. In some states, the age of consent is 16 or even higher. I would definitely be careful of that, since your boyfriend could get in trouble.Your friend is probably looking out for your best interests as well, but maybe she doesn't know the full story on this guy. If she hasn't had the opportunity to really get to know him, try to have them spend some time together.What do your parents think of him? If they can respect him, it may work out. They're also looking out for your best interests so take their opinions seriously.Ultimately, it's your decision what you do. Just keep in mind that people around you care about you, and if they're concerned about you dating this boy, you should think about why. Try to take a step back and analyze the situation as if you weren't the person involved. Good luck.Hope this helps.
