Alright, Im 18 so technically an adult.
I like my guy friend who is 23, its only a 5 year difference and that much of a difference would be bad if he and i were younger but since we are at the points in our life does it really matter now?

I am still in HS. He and I are just friends and Ive known him since I was 17 and he was 22.
Although it always feels like there might be something there, we have this wierd bond and we are closer than friends but arent more than friends, if you get that.

Again, he and I are not together.
I have feelings for him. And I feel ready for an adult relationship, its what I desire and Ive tried dating guys my age and it just doesnt work, I dont like them.

Age stops mattering when you're 50 years old, or 300 pounds, whichever comes first.

At 18 I say a good rule to follow is if you are in high school any one over 19 is a bad choice because at 23 he can go and do things that you still can not do and that will put a strain on your relationship. Once you get out of school the restraints are still there but you don't have to worry about grades unless you are in college, and even then it will not matter so much.

I was 17 when I met my boyfriend of 22, we got married when I was 18 and over the last seven years we have had two children but have been divorced for 1 1/2 years. Now I am 25 and I am dating someone who is 33. I think it is all about your personal maturity level. I was too young to be in my last relationship, but now, a single mom with two kids, I have grown alot! My boyfriend is 9 years older and we are both really happy!

As long as you are over 18 and he treats you with respect, then I see nothing wrong with it. My fiance and I are 5 years apart, we started seeing each other at the same ages only I am the older one. It didn't work out the first time around because he wasn't ready for anything serious but a year later, after we got together for the second time, we have been inseperable and are excited about sharing our lives together. If you and him are ok with the age difference, it shouldn't matter to anyone else. Good luck!!

i think age stops mattering after your both over 21 or as long as the person isn't old enought to be your parent or had kids around your age
18 and 23 is still kinda far apart right now and it will suck here soon if it already doesn't you can't take him to prom w/ you cuz hes over 21 stuff like that ...im 19 and my bf is 21 we have been together foralmost 4 years but it sucked for a while cuz i was in school still and he wasn't and now cuz he can go out to bars and i can't he doesn't but i feel like im holding him back...my best advice is keep an open mind and if things don't work out wait til your older and call him..at this point your gonna be 21 and he will 26 your just getting ready to have fun and hes ready to settle down

So long as you're 18 and the person you're dating is over 18, age doesn't matter. Though it is still kind of weird for a college-aged kid (18-23) to be dating someone who is out of college, just because they're at two different stages of their lives. It just depends on the couple.

You are legally and adult in almost every way. Since you are 18, age no longer matters in your relationship when you are both adults. You can consent to anything that might happen in a relationship.

18 and 23 is not that bad - 16 and 20, no but when you're 18 it changes a bit

I do not think that sounds bad at all. My husband is 9 years older than I am and I met him when I was 19. We have a great relationship and we get along wonderfully. Age difference is a huge deal when you're younger, but it dwindles as you get older, in my opinion.

Age matters in a relationship when one or both participants think it matters (as long as both are adults). Since you're asking the question it clearly matters to you.

18 when your old enough to make the decision for yourself..... At 18 you are legally "responsible".
The reason it is looked down on and in some states against the law for minors to have such relationships is because they are not mature enough to make such decisions.
The older person pressures or influences the child to make choices that benefit them, not the best interest of the child.
