By "OK" do you mean legal? Yes it is.
Do you mean moral? Yes it is. (There's nothing against it in the Ten Commandments or any other religious teachings.)
Do you mean wise? Depends. If you're male and she's female and you're thinking of reproducing, you need to take into account the fact that her reproductive years are limited.
If it's the other way around, an age difference can actually be an advantage since he is less likely to trade you in for a new model (as men often do who get involved with someone around their own age).
If you're gay or lesbian, those reproductive problems won't arise.
Creative people often get into relationships with large age gaps (usually the man is a lot older than the woman). The reason for this is that creative men stay interesting to the opposite sex, whereas most other men become boring as soon as the need to make a living takes over their lives and they stop developing as individuals. The same goes for rich people as well--their lives aren't dominated by boring everyday concerns like mortgages and pension plans, so they remain somewhat interesting to the opposite sex (apart from being rich which is a turn-on in itself).

Well, I suppose if you're okay with it then yeah it's fine. Obviously, by asking a question like this you know you're going to get people who say "no, it's ridiculous. Get someone your own age" but come on, are you really going to listen? When girls go for complete sleazeballs, people just say, "oh well - you can't chose who you fall for" It's exactly the same in situations like this. If he's a really nice guy then do it. I would seriously SERIOUSLY think long and hard though, if it starts to go any further. I mean, if you had kids, there's a chance he won't see as much of their lives as you will. But then again, anyone could get run over by a bus tomorrow. In my opinion, if it feels right to you, then don't worry what other people think. They will always have their opinions, but they won't always be right.

This is a really hard question coz none of us know the real situation, there is a lot too consider like 1; is it love? 2; are you sure he is not a substitute father figure? I mean whatever you feel you will do anyway regardless, just remember you are still so young and alot too do before you reach his age..... are you sure that when he wants too settle down, will you be ready? If you want children will he be able too? Becareful and take things easy..... do what you feel is right just dont rush.. good luck i hope it all works out well for you babe xx

Stereotypically, no...the average 18 year old doesn't have much in common with the average 36 year old, and sometimes they can't get over the fact that one of them is old enough to be the parent of the other.
That said, there are exceptions to most rules and, as long as neither are you are married or in another relationship, then I don't see that you're harming anyone and if you're happy, go for it.

Hi to you,
you have already dated him as you state, only two days ago.
You say you have a lot in common, I know on first date one cannot start firing questions at the other, but has He any baggage..i.e. wife/whatever.......?
I would not want to date a guy twice my age mainly because he may have too much History, children, etcetera.......
But if I found out He had not....(then i suppose i would be thinking.....that is weird...lol) any baggage, I may be his friend to see what he s like.
But truthfully I think I would knock it on head before i got to involved with him unless he is a millionaire.....lol.
He looks young, but I would be worried about all the baggage...
But that is me.....
Good Luck whatever you do.

It's legal, which is very important. 36 is not an old man. But when you're 30 he'll be 48, and many people start developing serious health problems at that age. Good luck!

There is nothing wrong with that, if you really like someone then age shouldn't be an issue. My husband is 14 yrs older than me. We first me when I was 22 and he was 36.

When I was 18 I went out with a guy who was 46, I had a crush on him already as we worked together. Having only gone out with boys my own age before, it was a totally different experience. He opened doors, lit my cigarettes, paid for my drinks and taught me a lot about relationships and sex. He was loving, gentle and it was a wonderful time. It couldn't last though and after about 6 months we went our separate ways but remained good Friends while we still worked in the same place.
It worked for me.
