I'm 30 and I met this dude that is 18 years old. We are seeing each other and have a good relationship. What do u think about us being together? My mother is tripping ,saying she is protecting me, that he is too young for me.

Your mom isn't trippin , you are..And why should your mom have anything to do with it if you're 30 ?
You and this guy are in different age groups....So you fall in love with him....marriage ? how will he support you ?
And what about him ? College ? A profession after that ?
So then he'll be 22 or so...he'll have to find a job....
I have accelerated your relationship by 12 years and you are 42 ? Think he's gonna still be interested ?He won't be.
No matter what your projected fantasy is at this time, he will be 22 out of college and ..OOOPS! how about the hot ties near his age that he'll be running into every day.
My best advise is to listen to mom......But you will do what you want anyway........
Gotta add this to my reply.......This happened to me ...
I was your boyfriend and you were the attractive older woman that flattered me by giving me her attention..the truth was we were both trippin on hormones and what we thought was love, it was only sex and we ended up hurting each other.......I'm older , wiser, and a professional .I wouldn't advise you to do this ...........
Mom is protecting you.....

Why are you questioning it if it seems right?
I've never thought age is an issue, personally. But I also ask myself if we have the same values, same life expectations, if we're in the same place in maturity. If you meet those kinds of things and still make eachother laugh and want to be together at the end of the day then that's awesome. Stick with it.
If it's really bothering you then you're going to sink your relationship. Don't dump him just because of your mother. You're 30 and you don't need her running the relationships you have.

Well if your mom would have "protected you" a little sooner then maybe you wouldn't have felt the need to participate in pedophilia. None the less, 18 and 30 couldn't possibly work... well unless he was the senior partner. That may have worked out well.

If you enjoy your relationship, good for you. You are a little too old for your mom to be trying to protect. As long as he is mature and has goals he is not putting off for you, enjoy the romance.

you will find in time the age gap is a big problem and your mom is right for protecting you. i myself am 33 and got involved with someone younger and found out later what a big mistake it was now there is a baby involved with us and a lot of regrets. all I can say is tread lightly and heed you moms warning it isn't all peaches and cream.

Nothing wrong with it my Fiance is 11 months older then me lol. But no Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher is doing it. I don't see nothing wrong with it, and just keep doing your thing. Just don't fall in love with him and "expect" too much from him because he's still young and I'm sure he want to explore and have fun.

i think older women dating younger men is well....ridiculous. he's barely out of high school, hes a child. and young men are not known for their maturity. does he make you feel young or something? it doesnt seem like you're serious about your life if you are nuturing a relationship with a kid. i know you don't consider him a man do you?

He's of legal age and what is she trying to protect you from?

If your at an 18 y.o. maturity level I guess there is nothing wrong with it.
