Older Girls with younger guys?

I understand when you are younger 4 years can seem like a great divide. But at my age (41) I have no problem whatsoever dating/loving a woman that's lets say 30. that's a whole 11 years but as you get older that gap doesn't mean much. an adult is an adult, no matter how you slice it.

I was once a 21 year old (and for a whole year too...lol) and I had a 19 year old girlfriend and oddly, I remember thinking many times "Uggghh I gotta get me a woman, I can't deal with this...child..."

I don't see any problem with it. Age is just a number, and if you truly care for one another, it shouldn't matter. Be aware it will matter to some, but it's you two in the relationship, not them.

my mom is a year older than my dad, does that mean anything?

I'm 23 and dating a 25 year old girl. Maturity definantly differs from people to people but age certainly dictates a certain expectation.

Since this guy is 18, your expectation level of maturity is lesson and as well it should. If he seems to be further along the curve then most guys then he must being doing something right will continue to grow, hopefully right along with your personality.

Although 18... you'll have to deal with his limitations on where he can go with you and many of your older friend's events. I'd say to have fun but the road from 18-21 is a very turblent one.

Guys go from 18 nice to I don't give a shit and I need to be wild and loud 20.

good luck.

Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher have that type of thing, but yeah, typically the guy is older than the girl. As a guy, I only go with girls older than me as a "fling." Ultimately, I'm for someone younger than myself to have a relationship with and marry. But for some guys, getting serious with an older girl might not bother them. A lot changes happen between the years of 18 and 21. I would just let it play out and see what happens. If you're having fun, then why stop?

That's not a bad age difference at all. As love as your in love. My brother is going out with a 23 year old and He's 20, but it doesn't madder to them cause there in love.

I don't think that's a problem at all. If you like someone and they treat you well (and you're not breaking any kind of law) then what's the problem? Age is relative, when I was 18 I dated a man that was 9 years older than me, a lot of my friends gave me crap and a lot of his friends gave him crap, but we were together for over four years and I still care for him and we're now good friends. You like this guy, he likes you and he treats you the way you feel you deserve to be treated, more power to you for finding a guy like that!

I am a 25 year old female who is dating a 20 year old guy. I totally understand how you're feeling, because when we first started dating (2.5 months ago), I had some serious reservations. I was worried what my friend's and family would think, I was worried that it was a sign of there being something wrong with me (fear of getting older, fear of commitment etc), I was worried that he would be far too immature, and on and on and on. And you know what? He's more mature than almost any guy I've ever dated, and I've dated many guys, up to 32 years of age. He treats me better than anyone has ever treated me. My friend's and family have been far more understanding and accepting than I thought they would be. His family has welcomed me in with open arms. We communicate amazingly. And...I could go on forever. Age does NOT have to be an issue. It comes down to compatibility, maturity levels, what you are looking for in a relationship, and all those other important things. if it's working, you respect each other, you communicate well, and you care enough about him to take the occasional teasing, go for it!

Im 18 and the guy I like is 17 which isn't a big a gap as 18 and 21 but I don't see why it should matter. It's not like he's gonna be your toyboy lol. Its only 3 years.
