When I was 19 years old, I started dating a girl who was 15. My friends gave me some crap about it, but there was no denying that we felt something for each other. We dated for almost 3 years. Her parents loved me. Even when I turned 20 before she turned 16. In the end, however it didn't work out just for the simple fact that we were both in different stages of our lives. My wife now, we are 6 years apart (I am 35 she is 29), but we don't have the same issues as I did with my girlfriend from back then. When you are younger, you mature faster and life changes more quickly. It makes sense that a bigger age difference when you are young is harder to have success at.

Bottom line is though I dated someone younger back then and it worked for almost 3 years. I consider that a success.
