That's people's opinion.

Ayumi is 7 years old, there's A WHOLE LOT of development (physically and specially mentally) that she has to do in order to be part of an official couple, so yes, the age is very important here.

As nobody would have a problem with Ayumi growing up and be in a couple. The difference here, and what probably makes ShinRan the OTP of DC, is that Shinichi and Ran love each other.
IHKF wrote:Not to mention Shinichi is running off ALL OF THE TIME. If you truly love somebody are you going to run away and place a CASE that other people will take care of over THEM? No. No you will not.
Shinichi is a case freak, we all know that. It doesn't mean he doesn't love Ran.

..... Because becoming Conan was a decision?

IHKF wrote:every time he would be with her wouldn't he be reminded of the mistakes he had made as Shinichi? Wouldn't he be reminded that his life is a LIE? XD She's always challenging him, and if you watch "How I Met Your Mother" you'd know why that's bad.
That's people's opinion.

It 9 or ten years time the mental age difference between Haibara and Mitsuhiko and Ayumi and Conan will be non-existent and you will have nothing to complain about anymore. Get over the fact that they're kids and try and see the fact that that doesn't make them ANY LESS SUITABLE for Haibara and Conan. PLEASE.
Let me quote a passage from the depths of the Ai+Conan thread when it was in its golden years:
soratothamax wrote:The difference between Ayumi's chance and Ai is that Ayumi is clearly a little girl. Little girl feelings often are not looked at as love, but moreso a little crush. The reason why is because young ones fall in and out with feelings.
Ayumi's relationship has grown with Conan, but what he learns more and more about Ayumi is that she is still a child who doesn't know any better. Hormones develop when the brain develops, and those brain cells cause us to to see romance differently. At Ayumi's age, the hormones aren't even fully developed, so feelings are not as intense as when the hormones kick it. Hormones don't kick in until ages 10-12. At Haibara's age, those cells in the brain are completely developed. Apparently, the apotxin had no effect on the brain, then Shinichi wouldn't remember his love for Ran, or any of his intelligence from what he has learned. Neither would Ai. So the only thing that has gone back to a childlike state is their bodies. Their brains haven't, which could actually produce a shorter mortality rate. If the brain is too much to handle for the body, the body will die. Which is why I can see why the Apotxin is deadly and poisonous. Somehow, Ai and Shinichi's bodies didn't diminish with their brains being the same. I'm thinking it's because at the time, some of their cells left the brain. With Shinichi, he had been bleeding at the time, so some of his cells left the body. He had an open womb. Haibara was in a gas chamber, that effected the brain and probably transferred into the body that was diminishing. Gas makes the body woozy, and so the cells leave the body and rush to the brain, I believe.
But with that being said, Ai is a grown woman. Ayumi is still a kid, and has 11 more years before she even becomes an adult, and buy the time she even becomes a young adult, Ai and Shinichi will be reaching their prime years of 30...
As you can see, being a kid affects it greatly and you simply can't ignore this fact. Discuss and dream all you want about AyuCon, as EVERYONE does about his/her favourite pairing, but don't try to make everyone like/think what you like/think.
