Okay I am seventeen and a sophomore away at college. I can not seem to find any one my own age (that are not idiots or way immature) and guys in my own class are a bit uninterested when they find out my age. I have been getting offers from seniors and from the law students but my friends tell me girls so young should not be dating that far out of my age range. They seem to be gentle men, no ones tried to jump my bones yet lol. So I guess the question is, is dating older men a bad idea for some one my age? p.s. I will be 18 very soon
I think you should just relax. You don't want to rush things or over think it. Just because a guy doesn't imply that he wants sex, doesn't mean that he does not want sex. Anyway I would suggest taking it easy until you get your associates. I've seen many people get anxious for sex in college and they get pregnant and flunk out. If you get your associates degree though you won't lose any credits. I'm 17 too and I'm planning to go to college in 2 months.So you are not the only one.What really sucks is I'm still a virgin . Which is worse.
Oh I'm not trying to have sex at all. in fact I still a virgin. I'm asking do you think I date these older men would they expect sex form me. I know I'm not ready I can bearly take care of my self. but I am ready to be dating and I just really just want to have a normal social life even though every one around me is older. - A month ago

Also I have been succesful in an ivy league school for over a year now. Flunking out is not an option and will never happen. and being a virgin at 17 is some thing to be proud of. At least I think it is lol:) - A month ago

Just use your best judgement. don't rush into it. check out the people when you are around them when they don't do it. notice their habits. and after about 2-3 weeks of checking them out. ask yourself if you really disagree with that person personality or character wise. if nothing major, then what the heck go for it. Look at dating in college like this. You are not buying a car that you will own forever, consider it a rental. You can always break up a relationship if things go south.

I think that if you feel you want to give older men a whirl, it wouldn't hurt a thing. Especially since you aren't really looking for a permanent relationship right now, it could even be a positive experience. The biggest problem most people have with older men dating younger women, is that older men can be manipulative. I've always looked at it as the men preying on younger women. But you seem to be looking for a distraction from your current life - what harm can come out of sharing your time with someone a few years your senior? You don't seem like the type that can be easily pushed around, you know what you want - go for it. I've dated older men, 20 years my senior, and it WAS a refreshing change from dealing with the guys at my age (early 20's). It didn't last, because there just wasn't much we had in common, but it was a great experience. I don't regret it at all.
Yes, someone in law school is likely at least 23 or so and that's a big age gap in your situation. Most likely the older guys think they can take advantage of your inexperience! They won't 'jump' you but they think if they impress you they won't have to.
Stick with the younger guys. Sure, most are pretty immature, but you're not? At least you'll know what's going on when you're with them.
Well I have been away at college on my own for a year and a half now. And guys my age are still in high school so there is a major differance in our maturatiy level. I'm stuck in between two world s and I'm just trying to figure out were I fit in and how to conduct a "normal" social life dispite my abbnormal cirmustances. ps you enter law school at 21 - A month ago

not at all, just make sure they don't have ulterior motives. when I first started dating my boyfriend I had just turned 18 and he was 24 (almost 25, it was right inbetween our birthdays) we have been together for 4 years now. though because you're in college I would take it easy on the dating scene and focus more on studies, there will be plenty of time to find the right guy after you get that degree, but if you lose focus in school then you will not only waste a lot of money, but you may lose the opportunity for a great career.
Lol thanks for the consern but I have school underwrappes:) I took all last year to focus on my studies and figure out how to function as an adult on my own. Now I have to figure how to play like a college kid:) I love being in the ivy league but it can be hard to handle if you have no way to vent and play. but I will keep that in mind - A month ago

It sounds like you have a good head on your shoulders. it is a known fact that women do tend to mature earlier that guys. if you think you are ready for a relationship with an older man, then I say go for it. not all men just want sex, some of them want wives and families (not saying you'll get married within a week) but for me, I consider 6 years to be a good age range to keep within. just let him know, if you start to get serious, that you are saving yourself and he should be respectful of that. - A month ago
