we are at that point in our "relationship" where we need to either stay "just close friends" or something more.
both of us are still in college he is a senior and i am a sophomore.
we go to a really small art school (a little over 1000 students)
we have a a lot of common friends and interests.

depends on if you really want it to work. You should ask yourself some deep questions about your relationship because only you know the true meaning of your relationship and what can develop or come of it. A relationship takes two and age really doesn't matter if you don't let it become an irritation factor into the relationship and or fighting over who has more life exerpience. Getting over that obsticle in an age difference can get hard sometimes but worth it if you want it
You should think about it before taking this relationship to the next level before doing so or not doing so. Consider your feelings for this person, and are you interested in other people. Do you think it would ruin your "friendship" if it didn't work out if you did try something more? You never know if you don't try. But it's up to you to decide at the end of the day.
Good Luck.

A 25 year old Senior? What's wrong with that picture?
The point I am trying to make is that the social milieu might make things look ok. But the reality is, in the "real world", what would you do? It's one thing to hang with a Senior when you're a Soph (forgetting, for the moment, his age), but outside of that very small society you both inhabit----what then?
As an 18 year old working in a city, would you be comfortable going out with a 25 year old you saw in the elevator every morning and evening?
I think that's the issue.

No way. I've done it. The guy was 23 and I was 15. It doesn't work. -Kick the perv to the curb!!! In actuality that is what the guy really is. He preys on the innocence of young women. But at least the young lady is 18. Now that I think about it more. It all depends on the guy. I'd be very leery of what he was after. -Hope this helps. Good luck and God Bless.

I think that there is a big difference between 18 and 25 for most people in terms of maturity. But then again, women are generally more mature then men. I would tread lightly on this one. Not that it CAN'T work, but it could be tough if you want to take it to the next level. I would keep my options open.

At some point you will be 25 and he will be 32 just watch his eyes if you're still together when another 18 year old walks into the room. If he is still focused on you then he's the one.

I'd say it can work but you really have to work at it. The biggest thing in this one is age. I know people always say age ain't nothing but a number but believe me its more than that. Just being from different eras can affect your relationship. Your thought patterns are different, your social life, you choice of music, foods and just regular everyday things are just different. Because for one thing he's older than you and immediately, whether its subconsciously or not he's going to act like the adult and expect you to act like the child. My bf and I have been at it for 4 years and we have a son together and we still disagree on a lot of things but I love him and he knows it.

That is 8 year difference and that to me is just fine You bet it will work if you want it to , in fact a older man is better in the bed than young man just starting out. It will work if you love him , anything will work if you share a love for each other.
Best of Luck To You

Lady , do you measure relationships are determined by difference in age???
I have come accross on this Yahoo Answers with one woman who was married to a man 10 years senior to her and not only senior , He was already a divorcee with two kids , and can you imagine their life has been a wonderful voyage of Love in unknown territory..
relationship is based on how you match with him.. emotionally, intellectually, physically, and financially , in reducing order..
