"It doesn't matter to me." vs "It doesn't matter for me."

The correct phrase is "It doesn't matter to me," not "It doesn't matter for me."

Last Updated: December 10, 2017

It doesn't matter to me.

This is correct

Use this phrase to indicate your indifference. It sounds nicer than "I don't care," but just be aware that it might be taken the wrong way.

Some examples from our editors:

  • You can go ahead; it doesn't matter to me.
  • It doesn't matter to me whether you come or not.

Some alternatives from our editors:

  • It doesn't really matter to me.
  • It's all the same to me.

It doesn't matter for me.

This is not correct. Don't use this phrase.

The correct preposition in this sentence would be "to," not "for." Here are some applications for the words "for me":

"She has a present for me."
"This is enough for me."
"Is there anything in the mail for me?"

Here are some uses for the phrase "to me":

"Please talk to me."
"To me, this just seems like a mistake."
"Listen to me."
