I have a boyfriend who is turning 25 and I am 18....is that too big of a difference? We really like each other, but my parents said he's too old for me and I can't see him.

My husband and are 6 years apart and we were told the same thing when we were dating I have been with him since I was in the 9th grade. We have been together now for 12 years.
Legally you are an adult.
The age gap depends on the mental state of you two how mature you all really are. You have some people who are in their 30's and they can be as an immature as an 15 year old,
so it just all depends.
You are 18 its your choice. He can't go to jail for statuary rape so that means that the decision is yours.
When you are 30 your parents may not like your man. Are you going to leave every guy your parents disapprove of for whatever reason they may have.
Keep God first and Best Regards.

You're 18, you make the decision. I am a bit surprised a 25 year old would like to date an 18 year old... but he is interested in you so you must be doing something right. You decide who you want to date and who is too old.

OK
Many things to think about here.
You want someone older because he appears more mature than those your age. He wants someone younger because there easier to manipulate(ie sex, job, career) R U going to bring him to prom. What does his friends think? Does he want to get you a fake ID so you both can go clubbing. He has to wait 3 years before both of you can go into a bar establishment. If you are a virgin you can bet he wants to change that, no matter what he says. Its normal for teenage girls to like older men and its cool to say may boyfriend is already out of college and has his own place. He could be a genuine guy, OK cool
Maybe your very mature but you enjoy some simple things with you r girlfriends. Maybe experimenting with young men like kissing, forplay, outercourse, sensual cuddling. There is no way this guy is not going to want intercourse.

I need more details for follow up

Listen to your parents. They love you. 7 years is a long time when you are only 18. They know this and are strict because they want what is best for you. Later in life you would wonder what was wrong with them if they didn't try to steer you in the right direction.

i just broke up with a guy that wasn;t emotionally mature..I am 18 and he is 25....some just dont mature like others...plus all guys are buttholes. anywho..um..your question..my parents told me not to see him but i saw him anyways...i should've listened to them...honestly.b/c they knew and been around the block a few more times than i have so they had that experience. They let me learn the hard way i got my heart broken .....BUT when my parents told me no! you cannot see him..i went behind there back.. so it depends on your ideal of whats too old ....
good luck

well you are old enough to make your own decisions, just think about it before you do,
i live with one of my best friends she's 18 and she is with a 27 year old, and its not working, there is so much hate and jealously between them, there both deffinatly not happy,
just think your 18 you will wanna party, would he get jealous,
do you want kids, probably not till your 25 yourself he will be 32,
sometimes they work, sometimes they dont,
hope you make the right decision, GOOD LUCK

technically you are an adult, kind of. when you are 25 and he is 32 not such a big difference. He will get tired of having a girlfriend who can't go bar hopping. What about college for you??

You're both at very different times in your lives. You haven't really experienced life and he has. I highly doubt that you two are on the same page, but if you want to pursue this, be careful.

okay this is just how I look at it I don't care what age you are if you like each other then thats about all you need, as long as you don't feel like hes to old then don't let others stop you from being happy. AGE DOES NOT MATTER.

I think you should listen to your parents on this one. He may just be trying to use your young mind to his advantage. Find a guy closer to your age range. I know, most of them are immature, but you might get lucky and find a great guy in your age range.

Good Luck.
