A 25 year old dating an 18 year old?

[Anonymous]

What do you think about a 25 year old guy dating an 18 year old girl? Also, does it change anything if he's sleeping with her.

My friend recently turned 19, and she's been dating a 25 year old for about a month now. Thing that really freaks me out is that he has a one year old kid. I really don't think she knows what she's getting into...

Honestly, I think it all depends on life stages, interests, and maturities. I usually tend to look for guys my own age, but I'm starting to think that a little bit older might not be such a bad thing. Just might match my own maturity level, and types of interests better... haha

I don't think anything of it.

When I was 19 I was dating a 27 year old (and I still am dating him). I've been pretty much dating older men my entire life.

If the guy has good intentions and is treating the girl right,

why focus on age? (something someone has no control over).

There are people in equal age that fail in relationships. Something as simple as an age difference is only a problem, if you make it out to be.

I don't think it's a huge deal but I'd definitely wonder why he can't date women closer to his age. An 18 year old is just out of high school (if not still in) and a 25 year old has graduated college. That is a huge difference in life experience and maturity.

Depends on the maturity level they both are on. When I was 17 I dated a 22 year old and it worked out OK for the few months we went out. It can work if done right.

My girlfriend is 21 and I am almost 30 I see nothing wrong with an 25 year old dating an 18 year old.

nope! that's exactly how far apart my boyfriend and I are, and we've been together for almost 2 years! well, he'll be 25 in July and I'll be 18 in November, but close enough. also, my parents are 7 years apart, and my sister and her boyfriend are almost 8 years apart! there's absolutely nothing wrong with this kind of age difference, and anyone who says otherwise is just ignorant.

A little weird at that age, but my parents are seven years apart, so. Past a certain point it really doesn't matter.

That's pretty common these days. It's gonna be a problem if she's in school and he's not and if the parents still have a lot of impact on her life.

ive dated a few of my bros friends. theyre like 23, so I don't see anything wrong with it

They're both adults, so there's not too much of a problem.
