    Because we believe it matters. What we believe, or what many believe becomes important. 25 is advisable because relationship demands responsibility and resources.

    I married at 21 and I am very happy to date. The dating at 25 part is just an old myth. Just find someone who completes you and let it roll ?

    Because with age, comes maturity, which is an important aspect in a relationship.
    By 25 someone is expected to have experienced different kinds of people and will be able to have a clear view of someone just by a simple interaction.

    I think different people will look at this differently. For me, age shouldn’t matter when it comes to a relationship. Yes, I acknowledge the fact that as you get older you accumulate experience and better judgement. But a relationship is not all about experience. You might be experienced at hurting your partner. Or not being sensitive to what & how they feel.

    We all know what we are looking for from a partner. I feel like when you get what you are looking for just go for it.

    I think the only reason i have never dated an age mate or younger is just how immature i feel them to be. even the people i hang around are mostly older than me.
    The times i have accidentally been with younger guys or guys my age btw ill ujinga inakuwaga iyo area wah I just cannot.
    I can’t kill myself ooh…

    No offense to all the younger people in this area code.

    Age brings a lot of self-awareness in a person. As you grow old, you get to understand what you seek in a partner or a relationship

    Maturity. We go through so many things in our lives as we grow up. We pick up habits,nuances and behaviours. I think the later in life you decide to be in a relationship, the more stable it will be for you and your partner.

    Despite people saying age is just a number,it matters alot since the age comes with understanding and difference in reasoning.

    Many people have argued matters age in a relationship. Yes it matters to some extent, considering the age gap of two people. But, does it?? A younger person can have a mature and logical outlook, whereas an older person can have immature traits. People prefer to start dating at 25 because at that time most have grown both physically and emotionally. Age shouldn’t matter because the heart wants what it wants.

    Age should never be a factor however, many tend to attribute maturity to age. If this is so, then the best age to have a proper relationship kicks in because now this individuals are responsible enough to bear the burden of life, the are sober to make life choices and are committed to the course.

      I once saw something on reddit and I think it answers this very succinctly, here.

      agree with this, but with a big caveat: a lot of times if a guy/girl can’t connect with people their own age but can magically connect well with teenagers, it’s because people their own age are wise/mature enough to see past their shit… there’s a certain point where if you’re 30 and you’re in the same life stage as the typical 20 year old, it raises the question of what exactly you were doing with your twenties. And occasionally there’s a good answer to that, but often the answer is that the much-older person is stuck in an immature perpetual-youth for some reason whereas the younger person will follow a normal life trajectory and end up outgrowing their partner.

    They say age is just but a number, Age shouldn’t matter alot coz even age doesn’t determine one’s maturity. It’s about us changing perspectives about this

      I get what you’re trying to say, though I think it depends on a case-by-case basis. Depends on the people involved in the relationship.

      Unless of course, one of those people in the relationship is underage. Then it makes a huge difference.

    Normally at that age someone has developed a certain aptitude necessary to ascertain what they want from a partner, what they can give and most importantly the kind of relationship they wanna be in.

    Moreover, age becomes a critical factor when predatory behavior is brought into the picture.
