A problem doing what exactly? 2 years is less and less a difference the older you get. Between 18 and 20 it really shouldn't be much of a problem, but there is a distinct difference between high school and college responsibilities and culture. People change a whole lot during that time.

The reason why men marry younger women is because women reach puberty a little earlier than men and other factors also count. If you look into successful marriages, the husbands would naturally be older than the wives, sometimes even 10 or 15 years older and even that is considered natural. But, a younger guy dating an older woman is uncommon and could lead to health problems, maturity problems and ego-clashes.
If you think these factors are acceptable, go ahead and date her. When there are lots of beautiful young girls around, I wonder why you'd want to go for older women ;-)

20? I thought you were talking an age difference of like 40 years. Dont over react so much. If you are 18 go for it. If you get along, you like each other, then i dont see a problem at all.

Not at all. It's two years difference and your 18.
Why it would really matter if you were 17 and they were 19 doesn't make sense to me.
So to a point, no age does not matter.

Whether you're talking about relationship or friendship, there is no problem with age, especially that little insignificant difference. I have people on my college course 6 yrs older than me, so difference in ages makes no difference, it's a number.

No. It only matters if your 16 and your daiting a 19 yearold or an 18 yearold.

there is only 2 year difference and your over the age of 18, so there is nothing wrong with that, im 19 and my partner is 25 there is nothing wrong with it, as long as use are both mature and on the same level its fine

I don't think it's a problem because age changes but the fun doesn't.

no not at all...its perfectly normal to have friends who are older than you. I have friends who are 4 years older than me...its all about the people you get along with...age shouldnt matter if they are your friend
