Would you rather date someone who's older than you or younger than you?

By younger, I mean… younger where its still legal... lol.

I'm 18 years old right now, I will prefer my partner to either be my age, or maybe a year younger. The age of consent in my state is 17, and I'm turning 19 in a couple of weeks. I can only go a year younger before it starts to get a little... questionable
