My boyfriend and I have a nine year age (I'm 21, he's almost 30) gap and it really doesn't effect anything. We're both festie's and actually met at a rave. It's cool to not be with someone who is childish, already in their career, he supports my dreams, and encourages me to not give up.
Wow that's the same ages me and my bf are! I still feel more mature than him sometimes and I couldn't imagine dating a guy my age. Guys just mature slower lol
I think what matters is where each of you are really at in your lives. Sometimes people who are older want more out of a relationship than you can/then you are ready to give them. In your early twenties, you want to really go out and live your life to the fullest and I think a lot of the time people getting closer to their thirties are starting to wind down. But this is really a person by person sort of thing. If he's not like that, then I think you'll be okay.
I agree with a lot of other comments saying that an age gap is one thing, a life gap is another. If you're on the same walk of life, why not? But if he's like looking to totally grow up start a family and stuff and you're not, then no. One of my friends is 19 and dating a guy ten almost eleven years older, but he just got over his party stage and she never was into the party life style so it all works, yenno? Idk girl, the heart wants what it wants as Selena once said.
My parents are only 3 years apart, but I don't think age really matters once you're an adult. If someone in high school is dating someone in middle school then it's a little weird, but once you're out of "grade school", who cares!
+twigz36 lmaoo okay but we're talking about lindsey and she's over 18 making her mystery guy not a pedophile. when people think about age gaps they go throwing around that word which is kind of ridiculous. love is love imo :)
Your family inspires me, its so adorable seeing your christmas traditions and seeing all the love that goes around! I've been watching your videos since you started youtube and you were the first person I ever subscribed to. I don't comment often but I wanted you to know that I think you're wonderful..Merry Christmas Lindsey
I think when you're in your 20's a 10 year age difference isn't important or a big deal. What IS important is that the guy you are with respects you and gets along with you, and respects your interests and space, and that you have similar interests as well. Just go for it! If you decide not too, you might regret it. I have regretted stuff in the past, but took a chance with my first boyfriend and even though it didn't work out after a year it was a great experience and made me more confident! That is how I try to look at things, as an experience like my mom says. I feel that you are mature for your age and know what you want and are independent and maybe a guy who is like that would be good for you! Good luck and you have to let us know how it goes!
The food looks delicious, also thanks for taking the time to vlog everyday. It is one of my favorite parts of my day. Merry Christmas to your family Lindsey. :)
So crazy, I feel like I was watching this exact stocking vlog from last year just the other week!! This year literally went by so quickly! I can still remember almost everything you got last year haha that sounds odd now that I just reread it again... lol
Ever since your one vlog Lindsey where you said don't judge people on what makes them happy I've been trying to live by that motto. So on your crush situation I think you should take your own advise and do what makes you happy! 😊
I was recently with someone who was 20, I am now 24, during the time we were together it seemed like age did not matter, but after it ended I realized in the long run it kinda would matter. I graduated university and am going back to school, I know what I want out of life and where I want to go. He doesn't know what he wants to do and is still figuring it out. I think that what matters is how mature someone is and if their lives match yours, if that makes sense. You are 21 and he is 30, you really have to sit and think what stages you both are in life. 9 years is not too too bad, but I would really think about it! Good luck!
It's different if the couple is older because it doesn't seem as strange. A younger couple with a big age gap can make a big difference. However, seeing as Lindsey is an adult in her 20's I really don't see any issue with it.
honestly age doesnt matter. and yes everyone says it but its so true! my parents are 7 years apart and you can't tell in the slightest. wouldn't you rather be w someone you who may be older but is far better than a guy your age? go for it girl! you'll never know if you don't try!
I dated someone that was 34 when I was 19. Even though we're not together now, it was by far the best learning experiences and we are still great friends years later . I say Go for it, your mature and provide for yourself..
Im so happy you shared that part of your life with us! go with your heart girl, whatever decision you make is going to be alright, as long as you're staying true to yourself. Ly!
I'm going to the forest this year for my first time. I live only 2 hours from where electric forest is and have been to many many local shows. My friends have been to the festival many times, I hope to see you there!!!!
if the dog thing bothers you, you can get a dog ramp or ladder! they sell them on amazon and stuff like that. I have dachshund, and I know small dogs like our dogs can get really bad back problems because of jumping. (my dog's almost 14 and had back surgery last year from over jumping throughout her life) it takes a bit to train them but its totally worth it to avoid the issues!! I hope you see this cause it could really help
I love your Christmas Eve vlogs. This was super great and I loved the party of your mom dancing lol so great! Hope you and your family had a great time filled with love and laughter!
OMG I'm so excited for bassnectar nye! I'm so excited it's in Birmingham this year (which is where I'm from). So much going on. So much excitement. So ready to rage.
Loved the portlandia reference!! BTW I live in Portland and you and Meghan should come back soon, because every time you've came I was never able to meet you guys!!!!!
10 years can be a large age gap, especially because you are pretty young and emotionally (fairly) inexperienced. But in saying that, if this person makes you happy, why shouldn't you give it a shot. It's your life.
Your brother is being active on vlogmas :) still hoping you can convince him to have a siblings tag video or something ;) In my opinion when you're im early 20s, 30s are kinda old but when you're in mid 20s you'd prefer guys around 5-10 years older than you.
I'm 20 and my boyfriend is 26. We've been together about 2 years now, and I only notice the age gap when other people bring it up. But I loved watching you guys celebrate Christmas!
are you religious? I'm confused because you're really into crystals and like horoscopes but IK that that is against the Catholic church's beliefs. just wondering 😊
I think that the age gap is too much also, I didn't originally think this but because I've been in relationships with much older guys your goals aren't exactly aligned because they are ready to settle down and create a family but you are still at that partying age.... but that's really between the two people so who knows. you make that decision Linds
I'M GOING TO THE FOREST FOR THE THIRD TIME NEXT YEAR! Hopefully we cross each other's paths in the magic. The forest is a place for you to find your inner peace. It's a place where EVERYONE loves you. It's somewhere you can spread love and kindness with just a smile. It's actually crazy how easy it is to talk to someone at the forest. It feels like you've known them your whole life. I can't wait for you to experience it. It will change you life for the better. Happy forest Lindsay!
I don't know why I laughed so much when your dad took the beer out of your brother's hand. Hahaha also about the age gap I don't think it's that weird. It always just depends on the person. I'm the same age as you and my siblings are in their late 20s so I've always been around their friends and have had crushes on people they know before.
you better do a christmas haul on that main channel girl cause its TRADITION and thats how i found ur vids like 4 years ago ily happy christmas
Same!
your brother is the type of man I yearn to meet at college parties
+DejaEntendu096 i'll let him know
hahahaha thank you livinlikelindsey
CACAO
UNREAL
+livinlikelindsey Portlandia is the best!!!
+Meghan Hughes Vlogs just finished Portlandia, love both of your vlogs!
I feel like everytime your dad is in a vlog his face just says "I don't know whats happening but I'll just go with it"
+KVlogsDB ACCURATE
My boyfriend and I have a nine year age (I'm 21, he's almost 30) gap and it really doesn't effect anything. We're both festie's and actually met at a rave. It's cool to not be with someone who is childish, already in their career, he supports my dreams, and encourages me to not give up.
this made me so happy to hear :) that's exactly why I think I need someone more mature lol
Wow that's the same ages me and my bf are! I still feel more mature than him sometimes and I couldn't imagine dating a guy my age. Guys just mature slower lol
@11:09 your dad is SO done with your brother im laughing so hard
I wanna be part of the Hughes family
You in the beginning of this vlog is just the perf aesthetic haha, your hair matches your room impeccably
aww i always love your gift exchange vlog
+Lydia Rose so agree its the one i look foward to every year tbh haah!! Also love your videos i would love to keep in touch
+Sara Weisman aww that's so sweet! thanks!
Lydia Rose you should def message me on twitter @sara_weisman

your parents are beyond iconic

This!!! Amen
Yes! I feel like being at the same 'stage' in life is way more important than your actual age!
My parents are only 3 years apart, but I don't think age really matters once you're an adult. If someone in high school is dating someone in middle school then it's a little weird, but once you're out of "grade school", who cares!
Idk anyone with a huge age gap, but I was always taught that love is love no mater what
+twigz36 lmaoo okay but we're talking about lindsey and she's over 18 making her mystery guy not a pedophile. when people think about age gaps they go throwing around that word which is kind of ridiculous. love is love imo :)
Lindsey you looked amazing with that white shirt! It complimented her hair really well!
TELL US MORE ABOUT THE SPECIAL CRUSHHH😍😍
Your family inspires me, its so adorable seeing your christmas traditions and seeing all the love that goes around! I've been watching your videos since you started youtube and you were the first person I ever subscribed to. I don't comment often but I wanted you to know that I think you're wonderful..Merry Christmas Lindsey
Is it weird that your mom kinda reminds me of Phoebe from friends?
I think when you're in your 20's a 10 year age difference isn't important or a big deal.

Is it weird that I'm like in love with your brother :/
Omg I have major crush on him lol I'm so pathetic
It's so cute how both you and Meg catch up on each others vlogs
The food looks delicious, also thanks for taking the time to vlog everyday. It is one of my favorite parts of my day. Merry Christmas to your family Lindsey. :)
Omg your brother reminds me of hyde from that 70s show
So crazy, I feel like I was watching this exact stocking vlog from last year just the other week!! This year literally went by so quickly! I can still remember almost everything you got last year haha that sounds odd now that I just reread it again... lol

Lisa Hughes is my spirit animal tbh
Omg.... when your brother mentioned a chair in the way I honestly lost it, I shouldn't have found that so funny! XD
My parents age gap is 15 years
My great grandparents age gap was 13 year
+ireland flood creepy
It's different if the couple is older because it doesn't seem as strange. A younger couple with a big age gap can make a big difference. However, seeing as Lindsey is an adult in her 20's I really don't see any issue with it.
My parents age gap is 12 years 😎
My parents were almost 20 years apart!! My dad was 52 when he had me (third child, mum's first) Very happy marriage, had the best childhood
Colin's comment about the little statue removing the obstacle of the chair in the kitchen made the entire vlog tbh
The psychic she went to in the spring said she would meet her future husband in the fall and she has a crush... Anybody else excited? 😊
honestly age doesnt matter. and yes everyone says it but its so true! my parents are 7 years apart and you can't tell in the slightest. wouldn't you rather be w someone you who may be older but is far better than a guy your age? go for it girl! you'll never know if you don't try!
I feel like it was just yesterday that I watched last year's gift exchange vlog!
YOURE FAMILY IS SERIOUSLY SO ATTRACTIVE OMG
Your mom is spiritual and not religious and I love it. So zen

I'm going to the forest this year for my first time. I live only 2 hours from where electric forest is and have been to many many local shows. My friends have been to the festival many times, I hope to see you there!!!!

I had my 1st twice baked potatoe this year and it was amazing. So for the Christmas party I had with my friends (which I vloged btw) I made them!
I don't know why I laughed so much when your dad took the beer out of your brother's hand. Hahaha also about the age gap I don't think it's that weird. It always just depends on the person. I'm the same age as you and my siblings are in their late 20s so I've always been around their friends and have had crushes on people they know before.
I'm confused... you give Hindu gifts for Christmas???
