At 18 years old, how old is too old to date or hook up with?

What is the cut off?

[OneViewpoint]

You are apparently legally an adult. You get to make your own decisions. And live with the consequences. Date and hook up with whoever you are attracted to if they are also interested. I've dated and had relationships with women where there was a 25 year age gap. They seemed to enjoy and appreciate the experience of dating an older more experienced guy who was financially secure with status that reflects that reality. It doesn't have to last forever. It can be part of learning about what you want out of life.

The real question isn't 'how old is too old', but rather 'why is a fully established adult seeking out an 18-year-old?' At 18, you are exploring who you are. Anyone significantly older (like mid-20s and beyond) has already formed their identity. If the gap is too wide, it stops being an equal partnership and becomes a mentorship—or worse, control. Keep the gap small so you can grow together, rather than molding yourself to someone else's timeline.

There isn't one. If you like a 26 year old, are you going to say no because someone on GaG told you 25 is THEIR limit? There's no rules to this except your own.

You're an adult. That's up to you to decide.

at 18 is no legal age limit as one is legally considered an adult , i'd imagine most 18 year olds wouldn't hook up with anyone 10 years older unless they were like famous or something

20 max and that is if they are out of high school otherwise they should date their own age

It is different for everyone. I would go to early 30s

I would say 28. years old.

30+ is too old for an 18yo

Legally, they have to be alive.

Whatever age your comfortable with

[TonyMetal___86]

You can date at any age!

Morally? That's subjective.
