I'm 18 and there's this guy at my work who I like. I recently found out that he's interested in me and wants to go out sometime. He's 25, though, and the age thing bothers me a teenie bit. Everyone..... my friends, family, and even my parents have been telling me that they don't think it's that big of a deal if we really like one another. I'm hoping that once we get to know each other some more and grow more comfortable with each other that it won't bother me anymore. Any opinions?

If your 18 and he is only 25 and the age thing is bothering you maybe your not ready for an older person yet. Its not like your 18 and he is 35. Age is nothing but a number it all depends on where you are in life and how mature you are. If your use to dealing with individuals your age and not with someone who is older you may just be afraid to try something new. Get to know this person as a friend first before anything else. He may not be the one anyway. You never know about someone until you get to know them. Before you can become lovers you have to be friends.

I don't believe that age to a certain extent matters...Because if you and him like each other than that's all that matters...You should tell him that it kinda bothers you about the age,if you would like to go out maybe see how things work.Also let him know your making no promises but who knows you could actually grow to like him and the age will soon not phase you at all.

exactly right you are.take your time getting to know him. the age difference can be a problem in some cases and at least you are being honest and not just going out with someone just because they asked, good for you take your time. older men expect older things, so keep up the good work.

Older men are actually an advantage for women in many ways. First of all they will almost always be more successful and stable. Because they have lived more of their life, they will also have better advice to give you when it comes to personal and career choices. Lastly and most important, most older men would probably be thrilled to have a younger woman and treat her better. L

If you haven't gone out with him, try. He may be older and gone through more but not alot of it make a difference. You can't judge or have thoughts about it when you haven't tried a date with him. I'm sure things won't be so weird once you actually start a good conversation with him.

Love is about love, not age!
If you are uncomfortable, then you might want to push that a little bit, or you may not. It is your choice to make.
There are lots of single men for you to meet, and many of them will fit into the age range you would consider good for you.
There's no right or wrong way. There are no rules.
There is no fate but what we make!
Shalom!

older men are the best! but, only if they are responsible. listen closely to him. find out about his other relationships and it will reveal to you the kind of person he is and what he is looking for in a woman. if you are looking for some serious that is... if not, older men are still better because 9 times out of ten, he knows how to make a woman reach an orgasm!

at least you are legal, as long as you both know what the other want it will be okay he might be a bit more experienced than you and possibly more independent long as he realizes that you might not be as mature and settle as he then everything will be okay even though he is 25 he might still live his life as a teenager.

My husband is 12 yrs older than me and we get along great.I think your family and friends are right. if you really like this guy go out with him and see what happens. It might turn into Love at FIRST SIGHT.
