Take your age, divide by two, and add seven. If the object of your affection is younger than that, then he or she is too young.
As an example, we'll take my age, 23. Divide by two, and you get 12 (I round up). Add seven, and you end up with a final of 19. I'm 23, and I shouldn't date younger than 19. Well, in this case, 18 and a half would be fine, but I'd consider a girl who just turned 18 to be a little young for me.
This equation works well, in my opinion. At younger ages, it stops you from dating too young (eg, if you're 17, you shouldn't date younger than 15 and a half), while at older ages, it allows greater range (a 40 year old could date as young as 27). I think it keeps things in reasonable range. Also, it means that you shouldn't be dating if you're younger than 14.
Math is good like that.
wow thats actually a great formula, i am going to use it.
