Age Gap Relationships

Have you heard the "Half-your-age-plus-seven" rule?

Quote:According to this rule, a 28-year-old would date no one younger than 21 (half of 28, plus 7) and a 50-year-old would date no one younger than 32 (half of 50, plus 7). Although the provenance of the rule is unclear, it is sometimes said to have originated in France.

By this rule I guess you'd have to go with a 30-year-old. Not that I'm calling the cops on you.

I broke it consistently when I was dating around. Then I got serious with my wife, who is almost exactly my own age.
