I'm not saying that you are too young, because as we all know women are more mature than men, so you probably have more in common with a 28 year old than you do with a guy your age. If you do decide to go out with him you need to keep in mind there is an age difference, and he will probably treat you as if you are younger, and that's just something you will have to deal with because you are. You will also need to remember he does have more life experience than you, and at times he will try and "guide you." Just know what you're getting into if you do go out with him, but i don't think age is ever a factor. Good luck, i hope i helped a little bit.

No matter how nice a guy he is, you are not too young for him, he is simply too old for you! A 28 year old is in a much different place emotionally than you are. Mentally, I find it hard to understand how an adult man would be attracted to such a young woman, other than looks and sexual reasons.
But, let me just say, from personal experience that nothing long term or remotely positive can come out of this relationship. When I was seventeen, I knew a guy who dated one of my friends. He was 26 at the time. I ran into him when I was 18, and we decided to go for it because we got along fabulously and really liked eachother. It seemed great for a while, but I realized he really had no interest in my life, only me. And as naive as I was, only didn't realize, I was enjoying his adult life and his older friends. Only, it didn't make me feel like an adult, it made me feel younger and after a while, I couldn't stand it anymore. I just wanted to have fun, because I realized when I got older, I wouldn't have the time to have fun anymore! It doesn't seem fair that we should be attracted to older men, because ultimately, there is nothing to be gained, other than a notch on the bedpost or another failed relationship. Try to remain friends with him, or if you can't handle it, stay away. There is a guy out there, closer in your age group who is just waiting to meet you.

To be honest it I think it is circumstantial. It depends on the level of maturity of the 28 year old, and also your level of maturity. There are 9 years between you which can make a difference when you are 19 but at 40 and 49 the difference is minimal. If you are happy and it works and you are both single, it's your life! Go for it!

Well, I'm 19, and going with an 24 year old. Age is nothing but a number. As long you're happy, there shouldn't be an issue.

You are an adult. He is an adult. Age doesn't matter. All that matters is that you have similar interests, values, and maturity levels. If you have that, then there is no reason not to give it a shot, at least, not based on age. You might consider, however, that if you work with him and things do not work out, you will create a tense and awkward environment in your workplace. If you are prepared to deal with that possibility, then go for it! If not, then it is probably best to keep it on a professional level.
Good luck!

No you are legal so age is just a number. It would be different if you were under 18, but you are over so it is totally okay.
When i was 18 I dated a guy who was 28....

It all depends on:
- The maturity reached by both.
- The inner circle of friends that you and the other person have.
- Your common likings.
- The things you dislike.
the numbers in your life statistics are less important.

I'm 20 1/2 years old. I married my husband (31 years old) when I was 19 years old. We courted for 3 years. Nothing is impossible.
I say, "Go for it."

what difference does the difference in age make? If your into him and hes into you and you guys connect then a number shouldn't matter. Who cares what anyone else thinks if your comfortable with it and so is he and you guys work, then there should be no worries, go for it, do whatever makes you happy love. all the best of luck to ya.

It's fine. My boyfriend and I are ten years apart, and we started dating when I was 19. As long as you can both be mature and understand each other, you shouldn't have problems, especially if you've already known him for that long.
