Personally, I wouldn't date a guy 10 years older, even if I was interested in him and he seemed to like me back (I was in a similar situation a little more than a year ago, getting these weird vibes from a guy 15 years older than me whom I found friendly enough). I guess it would be too strange for me, having grown up in a culture that sees this kind of relationship as an anomaly.
However, that's just me. When I see other people in relationships with people 10+ years older, sure, I may do a mental double take, but I wouldn't find it bad or anything (at least as long as they both sincerely love each other, and aren't together just because of money or sex).
If I were you, I'd give it a shot but be cautious. Like hang around with her as friends for a while and see if you really do click and if she seems to like you back, then maybe hang out alone in a more intimate setting. Make sure to find out what her family thinks of big age differences in relationships, since this may influence her opinion of it as well.
I have personally always dated older men. It's been my type for as long as I remember. I have only ever dated a guy younger than me like twice in my entire life. I don't go out of my way to find older men though, not anymore ,i'm no longer a teen ha ha...but yes I have no issue with dating a guy 10 years older for me, as it's still my main preference! *other things come into factor for me personally, it isn't all about the 10 year gap...obviously!
I'm 29 and I will never date a guy younger than me. I love older men. If you like her then see where her state of mind is. Age can always be deceiving, some older people act immature and some younger people are wise beyond their years.
I am currently dating a girl whose age is 18 while I am 27. However, she is very mature and I look a lot younger than my age. I've met her family and they loved me. She has also met my own parents and they seem fine by it. This girl is very family oriented and won't just hook up like other girls, I too am tired of shallow relationships so it is working out pretty well. We have our moments and honestly, sometimes I think she copes better than me. We are taking it slow and having a blast!
I believe age is a relative concept and while her being 18 is legal in my country, not so sure how it would fare in a different culture or diferent laws for that matter.
I hope it helps.
At my age (24), it would be less than legal. So no, I wouldn't. If I were your age, I would.
However, that's me. Would YOU date a girl 10 years younger? I don't see why it really matters if I would or not, since you're the one deciding.

Yep, though maybe not now because I'd be concerned he wants things more serious than I (I'm still young!).
Oh yes love older men. As long as he is not old enough to be my father I'm fine so he can't be more than 20 years older.
Well I'm in my early twenties, if he's got ten years on top of me, hopefully he's looking 30 physically and not heading his 60s and takes care of himself. Most guys age too much.
I’m almost 19, and the idea of a 29 year old guy being romantically interested in me is kinda creepy. Anyone my age who would date a guy that old has a major daddy-complex.
I do not date guys my age. If I do it's somewhat rare. I love older guys but I can't imagine dating a guy that's like 30 and I'm in my 20s. My dating age limit is 5 years from my age.
I've always been interested in guys around my age too...actually more so a year or so younger as opposed to older lol. No idea why.
A year younger is as low as I'd go. I prefer girls older than me.
Yikes that girl would be 15... That wouldn't be kosher with me.
I would defiantly date a guy 10 years older, Age isn't nothing but a number to me, I am 22 myself.
I would date someone that much older
No I don't want to go to prison
