These are MY general dating rules when it comes to age. I just want to have it written down on paper for the world to see!
Middle Schoolers date Middle schools (or plus one year)
Highschoolers date Highschoolers (plus or minus one year)
College students date College students (plus or minus one year although I think that would be super rare, but if a couple can make it work good for them)
(22-25ish) Should only date each other! That is such a bad age!
(26-30) I would say within five years. Although, I have absolutely no interest in a 23 year old. I would date up to 33. That is it!
(30-35) I would boost it to six years. So with each new age group add a year basically. That would be my formula.
(35-40) 7 years plus or minus
(40-45) 8 years plus or minus
(45-50) 9 years plus or minus
(50-55) 10 years plus or minus
(55-60) 11 years plus or minus
(60-65) 12 years plus or minus (48 and a 60 year old) Hm maybe my theory is getting a little far fetched! I think once you reach senior age then it depends on your activity level (physically/mentally)...

Hmm, interesting. I've never been one to spell out hard and fast rules like this, since there are so many other factors that come into play. I would consider someone quite a bit older or younger than I am, but it would depend on if that person has a similar set of life experiences or outlook on life as I have. Usually when you stray too far from your age, that life experience and maturity is the variable that means you won't be compatible. It's possible that they could line up with you at very different ages, although less likely.
