Would you date someone half your age, older/younger?

When it comes to love and relationships many people have something to say. On whether age is an issue is such a hot topic—sometimes, older people dating younger ones are ‘wrongly’ or ‘rightly’ categorized as midlife crisis sufferers or if you prefer, ‘retour d’age’ in French. This is word on the street on the age-relationship debate.

When it comes to love and relationships many people have something to say. On whether age is an issue is such a hot topic—sometimes, older people dating younger ones are ‘wrongly’ or ‘rightly’ categorized as midlife crisis sufferers or if you prefer, ‘retour d’age’ in French. This is word on the street on the age-relationship debate.

"It might not seem right at first, but what it boils down to is the chemistry between the two of you.”

Amani M., MAGERWA employee.

"Yes, Why not? Age is just a number. It’s what those two people feel about each other. Age really doesn’t matter.”

Solange Nene, KIU student

"Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter.”

Leonie Akariza, Clearing and Forwarding agent

"Age is just a number, as long as they were of legal age or older I would have no problem at all.”

Steven Makora, Entrepreneur.
