Over all, the chances of a relationship going the distance between a young male and an older women are very slim. I dont care how mature you sound, just because you can converse with adults doesent mean your mature. Maturity comes with experience, and at sixteen, or nineteen, you just dont have enough to fully understand what you want. Again, thats in general, there are exceptions.
But part of being mature is knowing your not (Confused yet ?). If your not mature enough to figure out that you have ALOT to learn than your not as mature as you think. (And when I say "you" im not reffering to anyone in particular). I wouldnt be against a 19 year old BOY dating a 28 year old women (Or whatever), Im just saying I would doubt the relationship would survive for long. I believe that age does matter , it isnt such a hurdle that it cant be overcome, but it is a hurdle none the less.

I agree with you on almost everything.
Also, maturity does come with experience, but that doesn't mean it takes many years to gain. One can experience a lot in a short amount of time and learn greatly from it. Yes, I can converse well with adults but that's not my only reason. I can't give a good, detailed explanation, but I know if I were to have to make an important decision, I could make the
right choice. I also know "right from wrong", among other things. Like I said, I can't give a good explanation, but I just know I'm more mature than a lot of people my age. Not fully mature, but up there. (Now I'm sounding immature.)
I don't think that being mature is knowing you're not, though. One can easily tell the difference in maturity level between themselves and others their own age (that is if they are mature and smart).
As for my comment that age doesn't matter, I didn't mean that on a entire level. I agree that age does matter for many reasons. In turn, I will remove that part of my original post to avoid more confusion from what I really intended for it to mean.
My head hurts.
