I met this guy at the club.....he's 24yrs of age...he is the sweetest guy i've ever met. We've been talkin for about 3weeks now and have so much in common...not once has he brung up the conversation about sex...we spent time together without him trying anthing...i really like him but my main concern is the age difference, and i think he's a lil concerend about it as well. I've told my mom about him....she didn't really like the idea of him being 24 but then she had to look at it as i am 18 now.....but what would my dad think.....should we continue to see eachother or jus be friends?

my advice is that you be friends and take it slow. at his age maybe he is looking for a steady relationship rather than a fling.

Well remember most dads feel that no man (no matter how old) is good enough for his daughter...I think your mother's thinking would be the best way to go, and perhaps you and your mother could reason with your dad in your communicating with him on that subject...it would be different if you were 16 or something and then you have to deal with legal issues...but with you being 18 and he being 24 that gap isn't that great an issue...now if he were 40 and you were 18 I would have a problem...but at 18 and 24 that seems harmless.

YES, keep seeing him. Most 18 year old guys are very immature and don't know what they want anyway. This guy sounds great for you, and I'm sure is more mature than guys your own age. You are 18 and the age difference isn't as big of a deal compared to if you were 15 and he was 21.

If it seems like you have a lot in common with each other, stay with it. Telling your dad is important, keeping it secret will only hurt the situation. I've had 3 realtionships. My first was a year younger than me(I was 18 he was 17), the second the same age(We were 18) and the third was 7 years older than me (I was 24 and he was 31). Sometimes age is really only a number, if you think its right stay. Please dont let others judge your realtionships for you :)

if you both like each other, then stay together. don't listen to what anyone else has to say. it might not be easy, but don't let people's opinions make the two of you grow apart. i'm 16 and my boyfriend is 23. we've been together for 3 months already. there is a bit of an age difference, but we've made it. he is so sweet and caring and all the things that i've wanted, and he hasen't tryed anything without me wanting him to. i hope that helps your decision. it doesn't matter what your parents think as long as your happy. they can always get used to the idea, as long as the guy is good to you. do what you think is best. first for you, then for everyone else. just make sure you come first. life isn't worth living if you yourself can't enjoy it.

I am 6 years older than my wife, it's part of the attraction. My father was 8 years older than my mother. No big deal.
To me, it seems he hasn't brought up sex because he likes you enough to not risk losing the opportunity to be with you by bringing up the subject. He must really like you. What are you waiting for? How many men do you expect to give you that much respect in your life?
Sounds like good genes. Love isn't a numbers game. While you are doing the math, he just might get bored and move on.
Good luck.

Is he in school? Does he have a job? You have to look at where the 2 of you are in your lives. If he is so great, then he'll wait for you to finish college. The 2 of you can date while your going to school. But you need to concentrate on your education and then worry about relationships. Trust me. I know. I've been there. The age difference won't matter in 5 years.

What the problem about your age???
You're 18, he's 24... that's so common!
Go ahead, seize all your moments and don't let the age difference spoil everything.
I bet he is not concerned about the age!!!
When I met my husband (now) I was 19 and he was 24. Now we're married and share a baby.
So, good luck!
Don't worry about your parents (who's interested in him, after all?)

These days age isnt really a big deal. 6 years difference as in your case is not a big deal at all in my opinion. You are an adult and if you really have feeling for each other go for it. I think your parents will get used to it after awhile.
Good luck!

As a mum... she is concern about you.. u're a baby forever.. she just don't want you to get hurt.. Especially you know the guy in a club.....
Why not be friends and hang out with each other more and see hows things develop... use the time to learn more abt him.
