If James is 47 now, six years ago he was 41. And if his girlfriend is 24 now she was 18 (not 14) six years ago. Somebody need to check their maths from time to time. Who said she was 14? From what I have read online she was 16-17 years old when they met/ dated....

Whatever (I thought he was older than 47, frankly). I know she was 16 at the time, and I'm pretty sure it was while Buffy was still on air, making it pre-2004.

James is currently 47 (http://polyjam.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=3909:james-marsters-to-marry-patricia-rahman&catid=:entertainment) maybe the date of meeting is wrong? I can't seem to find that anywhere

Who CARES? They're both of legal age now and they obviously love each other to be together that long. Frankly, I'm just upset he waited until right after I became legal before he got engaged. I just hope they're both sure about this decision. I mean, I wonder how Sullivan feels.

^^Her underageness in the past is no longer important. But it's on topic, it's interesting, and we're bored, so we're discussing it, lol.

^^ Haha. I know how that goes. Like I said, I only wish he'd been around here before he met her. I'd be all over that.

^^Lol! A lot of ladies (and men) would have done the same if they could. This girl included.

The reaction has been fairly positive throughout this thread even though there is a whopping 23 year age difference. Which is fine, I agree with them as long as the couple is happy.
I just think it's funny that the same forum was furious because of the age difference between Xander and Dawn when they started dating. There's only six years between them. Just saying. haha

^^ I'm very pro Dawn/Xander. And wasn't many people more suprised and a bit creeped out than furious, since it seemed like Dawn & Xander had a sibling thing going on, more than a friendship-that-could-lead-somewhere thing?

Yeah but it's not unrealistic. I know a few married couples that started out in a similar friendship like Xander and Dawn. Relationships also exist like that in other fiction as well (aka Harry and Ginny). IMO, I find the James/Patricia thing more irksome.

I think Harry and Ginny is a descent comparison to Xander and Dawn. I'm not a fan of either couples. It always seemed like James Marsters had the whole George Clooney thing going on. It's shocking to hear he's becoming a one woman man.

While I am happy for James that he is getting married, I do not support the age difference between him and his fiance.

If they love one another and are happy then good for them. How do we define the 'correct' age difference permitted between two people? We can't because we shouldn't and it is nothing to do with anyone but the people involved. I personally couldn't date someone with that much age difference, but then I guess I don't know until I was there and felt something for that person.
I was a bit sceptical when my best friend started dating an 18 year old (she was 30) but I would never have said there was anything wrong with it, it is her choice at the end of the day and she was happy so I was happy for her. I guess I just wondered what they could possibly talk about being from different eras, but I don't think they did that much talking.....

You know, I can't name a single 48 year old I really know, so I can't say how old 48 year olds usually act, but from what I've read in interviews, James can be very "young" sometimes. Him talking about how he tried to impress Patricia with his stunts when she visited the set for Dragonball comes to mind.
Maybe they're a actually a good match, maturity wise ;D I know I can act like a 13 year old.

^^One of my closest friends is 45 this weekend and he is very mature and professional when he needs to be, but can also be really kookie and immature too, and I love him either way

Just saying. haha For me, it's not the age difference between Xander and Dawn that bothers me. It's the fact that he knew her as a little girl when he was well, not little boy age. And the fact that their relationship was so father/daughter or uncle/niece or big brother/little sister for the longest time (this is the main reason why I find it ick). As far as James goes, I still think it's weird how young his fiance was when they met, but they're both consenting adults now so I don't care. I just hope it works out.
