When you imagine the perfect boyfriend, I'm sure many characteristics come to mind, but in all fairness, age is a pretty big one, too. I see couples that differ in age all the time, and though the jury is still out [1] on whether or not it's a good idea, I guess it's inevitable. Of course everyone has their own preference and people mature at different paces, but when it comes to your relationships, do you prefer to date someone older than you, younger than you, or your exact same age?
