Answer 1

The very fact that you're worried that you might be too old tells me that you're a considerate and mature person. If you like her then she must be lovely. Plus, her mum approves of you and that says it all really. Ignore the doubters and go for it.

Answer 2

Go for it!!!!

Live your life for you! People can and will say all kind of stuff, but in the end it's your life, not theirs.

She's not too young, and you're not too old, if you both feel it go ahead and enjoy.
The age difference will affect some things though, don't expect her to always act mature or even understand some of the things you've been through or might deal with on a day to day basis. Remember that you have 7 years more life experience than she does, and it will affect the way she reacts to certain situations. Because she's young you will need to give her a bit of room to breath and learn life's lessons for herself.

Forget what other people say n do what will make both of you happy.

Good luck

Does it feel right to you? You can't have your life dictated to by your friends and family. You are both able to decide what you want so why not go for it. If you don't do anything you may be wondering in a few years what might have happened. Age differences aren't that big a deal. I'm 34 and my girlfriends 24 and we have a great time together and the age difference was not on any of our minds when we first met. Go on, give it a go. You know you want to!

Answer 4

If her mom knows about it and it's ok then that's that. But remember she is only 18 and ur a lot more experienced then her, so just be careful and take things slow. It could work out when i was 18, i dated a guy 6 years older than me and it was good for a while. My advice in being in this situation is just take it slow. Don't worry about what people say she is of age so it is both of ur decision to be together and if the mom's ok with it then there u go. Good luck!!!!!!!!

Answer 5

Treat this like you are dating any other girls. Dating is not a serious stage yet, so why not enjoy the experinece with her. If you were to move on to a more mature relationship, I do hope you consider her age as it can be an obstacle. Being seriously attached this young will most likely limit her chances in life. However this is not only your decision as you must consider her feelings on this. Don't worry, I'm sure this will all workout just fine.

Answer 6

Age is just a number and girls do mature a bit quicker than men. When i was 18 i was going out with a 27 yr old and it lasted 5 +1/2 yrs. If you both feel happy together just go for it and ignore everybody else.

Answer 7

Your age difference is that not much of a difference compared to some that are out there. I wouldn't listen so much to what other people have to say. The girl is 18 so she is young, your 25 and your young. So it isn't like such a huge difference. Of course your both young, but according to your question you will just have to give it time.

Answer 8

I don't think the age gap is that big at all! And no offence, but girls do generally mature quicker than boys (who never really grow up!) I think this depends very much on her maturity and your compatability. If you get on well and are attracted to each other, then go for it! You're both consenting adults. And it really helps if you get on with her Mum too! That makes life much easier!

Answer 9

I was 18 when I met my ex who was 25. At first I was impressed, because he was so different from guys of my own age. We stayed together for a while till I was 21 and then I just felt like a change, because it was getting too serious...But I don't regret it and neither he does, because we both loved each other whilst it lasted. So unless you are looking to get married, go for it.

Answer 10

I am 24 and I got engaged to this lovely little lady who is all of 18 years of age - She is still in college while I am working and settled down in life with a 5 figure pay-check :)
