Sure. I dated a 17 year old when I was 22. So what? She gravitated toward me and I went with it. I was a long-haired metalhead weightlifter and she was for the most part a metal chick (hair metal, but I forgave her). Nobody had a problem with it including neither of our parents, her older sister or our friends. It's not like we hung out at the high school. Oh, and girls didn't have anywhere near the victim complex they have today, probably because society and the media then (there was no social media... hell, there was barely internet) wasn't trying to spread it like an addiction.
See, back in the '80s we didn't worry about stuff like this. We didn't worry about a lot of things - sexual harassment, school shootings, false allegations, safe spaces, gender wars, surveillance cameras, cell phones and definitely didn't fret over offending people. During hunting season, kids brought hunting rifles to school and stored them in their lockers so they could go right from there and not have to backtrack. A few teachers were gun enthusiasts as well and they'd have full-blown firearm conversations with them right in class. No one cared.
I’d burry my cock deep in her anal cavity. 18 young and stupid with tight sweet walls. Not marriage material but great sex.
Our sex life is perfect
wtf lmfao
@Idkwtfimdoing96 it was erotic poem. It’s all in good faith.
u There’s a big maturity difference. I’m only 20 but I wouldn’t date a fresh 18 year old. We’d have nothing in common when it comes to maturity, mentality and life experience. I have a very different view on life and mentality than I did when I was 18 fresh out of school.
I’ve known some very mature, intelligent 12-year-olds and I had a 58-year-old platonic roommate, arranged by a friend, that had zero sense of personal responsibility. Her 83-year-old mother paid her bills.
In fact, when they turn 18, and leave home for the first time for college, many times the apparent maturity level takes a nose dive.
I mean sure. If you guys have a healthy relationship and you both care for each other, you're both consenting adults so go for it.
Would you date an 18 year old high school student
No I personally wouldn't. I'm a full time student myself with a child. Me and an 18 year old would have nothing in common and I am attracted to men older than me anyway.

ok. so an 18 yr old could literally be a college freshman. A 22 yr old could be a college senior. I think that is a very typical age gap for kids that age. A 4 yr age gap is not a problem but its only a problem if it is a 14 yr age gap. The larger the age gap, the less they would have in common.
I have a lot of younger friends. At one job, years ago, the three of us who usually ate lunch together were a 19-year-old white woman, me a 37-year-old white man and a 72-year-old black man. She wasn’t constantly getting hit on when she was hanging out with us.
@MikeInHawaii
For vast majority of the population, we tend to get along better with people around our own age. This is in vast majority of cases. This is why people tend to befriend those similiar in age. Its highly uncommon for a 45 yr old to be best friends with a 18 yr old.
In dating and marriage, age matters even more than in friendship. Because there is no real future between two people who are on opposite ends in age. Things may be fine when you're 25 and he is 45. But things won't be fine when you're 40 and he is a 60 yr old grandpa. Eventually things will go south and your happy days of marriage will be long gone. You can't grow old with someone who is already old.
I said nope, but in all fairness I was in love with a man who was 20 when I was 16. But for me personally, at 22 I would never date a person still in highschool, that hust seems like two different stages of life and I prefer someone close to my age so that we're on the same page and wavelength.
18 would be a bit too young for me. Though at a local bar a new waitress had just started and she had incredibly good cleavage. She said she was still at school! Had to be 18 to serve alcohol.
I must admit I thought Phoar! An 18 yo flirty (and possibly naughty) schoolgirl. Then I took a realistic reality check.
Most relationships have an age gap. Most girls are naturally attracted to someone who's older because he has something the guys from the same age don't have which is knowledge, money and how the real world runs. An age gap of 7 years is pretty normal has always been common so 4 years isn't even a lot.
I do not see a problem with this. At 18 she is legally an adult and the age difference is only 4 years. I was a high school senior at 18 due to starting school late. I consider a good age range to be between same age to about 5 years, assuming both are 18+. Also, girls mature faster than boys so mentally the two of you are probably in the same place. It can take guys' bodies and minds up to age 25 to catch up to a girl's maturity.
When I was 22 I dated a girl who was 17 and a senior in high school. I met her at a party that was all college kids and just assumed she was a senior in college. I really felt a connection with her and I knew I would not have sex with her but I just wanted to hang out with her. Looking back on it I guess it was a little crazy and of course it was doomed for failure from the start because we were bot hat different points in our respective lives.
Not sure why you are complaining at what @Smashingdoozy said then she s just quoting what you said. Dude you did say "We have great chemistry and I love how she still has a kid personality." At her age acting like a kid most of the time is immature. Being with her for that reason is cringy.
I have some child like qualities I hope I never lose. I have never understood the appeal to sitting around getting drunk as a form of recreation. While some “adults” were doing that at a family function, a seven year old cousin recruited me to help her catch fire flies. I had a blast.
22 & 18 is pretty normal and i don't think most people would think it's weird or anything. Personally i wouldn't because it would be kinda weird to date someone that much younger since i'm a girl (it would be lowkey like me wearing the pants), they probably are pretty meh in bed and at being a boyfriend in general, they'd also be less mature
I worry about when women start judging men in bed. When a wine connoisseur sips a glass of wine and tells me the brand and vi rage, I imagine he’s had a few glasses of wine in his life. When women start judging men in bed….
I wouldn't feel anyway because that's their business and I couldn't be with a guy who cared about other people's opinions regarding our relationship.
I had no interest on dating any HS girls once I left HS. It’s a bad idea for a 22 year old to do it.
She is more submissive to me in bed than girls my age
At that age it’s a big gap for mentally developed. Late twenties and a four year gap is far different. Those ten years make a difference.
Those 4 years can make a difference of having a happy successful life and marriage or a miserable life as a single mother with no one to help raise the child. Don't fling around with a man before being married. Studies showed that people who marry their first partner have the least likeliness to divorce and are much happier.
@RiseofArtemis I think you missed the point of the askers question.
Even when I was 22 I'd never consider dating a high schooler even if they were of legal age. Hell, I didn't even want to be around a high school after graduating.
To me, 20 is where I think age gap starts to be less of an issue as maturity should increase with age as well. So I'm more concerned with a 28 year old dating a 22 year old than a 25 year old dating a 29 year old.
That is not a big age difference for adults.
Most are around 4 to 7 years. Quite common to have an older male as a father then what the mother is.
@RiseofArtemis Average Age Difference In Marriage is 3 to 5 years.

Totally legit as long as they really like each other
I hesitaye to agree with "age is just a number" and it does seem a bit odd, but both parties are legal so I see no real issue.
As long as they're over 18, age becomes less of an issue as one gets older.
22/18 is what one would encounter in college and is acceptable in all groups with whom I've associated.
Even if you were older it would still be fine. You might think it's a huge difference, but it's really not. You'll understand when you get older.
A similar scenario unfolded in Knoxville. The guy shot and killed her. He was outside. She was in bed sleeping at home. A guilty conviction for murder in 2018. 24 and 20? Sure. 22 and 18? That's a little premature.
I mean... sure ig as long as she wants it too
Hell nooo idc if she's an adult I'm not going to any High-school ever or ever dating a chick who has High-school friends Hella weird bro lol
i would watch your self with that. yeah she is 18 but she is still in high school and your over 21. just be careful
Way too young for me, but a 22yo sounds fine for an 18yo.
She’s really happy with me
Just dating, though. If you refuse to wait until marriage at least wait until your both 21yo at the very least.
No, I wouldn't date someone still in high school
Why do you care what anyone else thinks about this?
It's legal, but, you'd have to question if she's just using you, or not
It’s weird! How about a 17 dating a 13 or an 18 dating a 14?
It’s not a big deal. If it bothers you, just wait one more year until she’s in college.
That is fine. A (F) friend of mine was dating a 26 y. o. guy when she was 17.
I think it's weird. Life experiences are different
Do you wouldn’t approve of us?
No I wouldn't
Well why wouldn’t you approve of us then?
Just be honest
I literally said in my opinion
But why is it weird?
Maturity level is different. An 18 year old wanting to date an older man isn't weird but an older man being attracted to an 18 year old is strange.
She is more submissive to me in bed than girls my own age. She lets me put her in any position I want and lets me handcuff her and everything. We have great chemistry and I love how she still has a kid personality. She still eats happy meals from McDonald’s. She says she likes the smaller burgers and it’s better for her maintaining her body
That is fucked up. You like her because she ACTS LIKE A KID THAT IS PEDOPHILIC
What the hell! No way at all. You misunderstood what I said! I said I love how she still eats happy meals. It makes her cute.
"She is more submissive to me in bed than girls my own age"
" I love how she still has a kid personality"
You picked those quotes without context.
What’s wrong with me liking her being submissive?
Also I didn’t mean it that way. She is cute because she still eats happy meals from McDonald’s and watches cartoons. I just said I loved how cute she is.
It's within context you literally said you like that she acts like a kid.
You are making it seem like I am saying I wish she was a child when that’s not the case at all. She still behaves like a kid as in she still watches cartoons, eats happy meals, wears bow ties. I didn’t say I wished she was a child. I was saying that I liked how cute she is.
Why are you trying so hard to make me a pedo?
It doesn't matter. It's still pedophilic. Doesn't have to be a child, the fact that you like her because of those attributes makes it creepy af
We met in church okay? I didn’t pick her out from high school. Gee!
Doesn't matter
@Smashingdoozy Before you embarrass yourself you should look up the definition of pedophile.
@KelleyNice I don't need to considering I never called him a pedophile. I said what he likes about his girlfriend is pedophilic.
You saying I like her is pedophilic is the same thing as calling me a pedophile.
That is true. Her denials notwithstanding.
Not really. I understand what a pedophile is. What you like about her is weird and creepy.
I think it’s weird to date high schoolers if your not in hs
I'm 29 and I'm dating a high school cheerleader and she's 18.
AND SHE'S HOT
Personally don’t see the problem since she’s 18
I'd say you're a lucky man
Go for it dude
No, I'm 33 and not on the same wavelength.
I would never date a child.
Yes I would, as long as she was mature.
Mentally or physically. Those two can make a lot of difference. One can destroy your whole life while the other just looks good.
@RiseofArtemis Mentally.
Yes, she is of legal age.
