Is Your Romance Going Anywhere?-Online Or Offline?-If It's Not-Why Not?

If it so happens that you bump into someone at a party, get along like a house on fire and fall in love, then probably his age won't matter; even if you realize later that he does not belong to your age group. If you are in a steady relationship, the age factor may be a trivial issue. But age probably matters more in the era of online dating. That is because you know the age of a person before you get to know him! Age is a universal criterion used online to narrow the search for prospective mates; to avoid getting lost in the web of profiles!

Age may also matter, for some, for the simple reason that you can share many more likes and dislikes being from the same age group. A 40 year old may definitely not have much in common with a teenager. Careers, lifestyles, hobbies, and interests are more likely to be age related.
