Girl, you are an adult. If you love the man and you handle the age difference and his daughter, go ahead.

No i think that is perfectly fine!!! Well i would think that when me and my better half got together i was 20 and he was 29, 3 years later and we have a awsome strong relationship, i was ready for something serious to plant my feet into and so was he, we had alot of things in common, i mean yes there are times when i think wow hes really been around alot more then i have and i can feel a little bit intimidated, but in the long run im thankfull he has those experiances to help guide our steps, I think he has come to believe that im never going to be perfect, even though i really try to do everything well, im not completely at his level on thinking, he has more life lessons to reflect on, but i dont think its a problem when we both discuss everything and keep the lines of communication open, just like any other relationship, my best friend is in the same boat, her husband is 10 years older then her and oddly enough shes the more responcible one, i dont see why any one would think its wrong, now if you were 25 and she was 15 there might be a huge responce to you sick mo fo lol but i dont think there is anything wrong with you liking her, ask her out, she might be into older guys, and with good reason, guys that are 20-24 are enough to make you want to puke, they only want one thing, they havnt figured out yet theres more to life then a nice set of boobs lol they dont know how to deal with money worth a crap, they only look out for themselfs, where older guys have alot more figured out, theres so many more perks to dating a older guy i could go on forever, more or less your more established at 30... id say go for it :) you have nothing to lose

That's just wrong.  How would you feel if you knew some 40 yr. old was messing with your 19 yr. old daughter.  I would have a fit and be ready to kick some ass.  That girl is just a kid.  She hasn't reached true maturity in any way, shape, or form.  Leave the kid alone and go for a real woman.  She can never do anything for you as young as she is.  Don't ruin her life and make her a bitter young woman already.  End it as peacefully as possible so she can be with boys, yes boys, her own age.

"boyfriends" and "girlfriends" are ok at that age--dating is not. If the kids are just hanging around together with nothing physical or serious going on it's ok.

Every relationship is different.  Age doesn't really play a factor (unless the guy is 95 and in a wheelchair and the girl is 20).

18*2=36 !!! i think its better to date a man in near age .. being amature is not enough !!! the life looks different for a person (36 yrs) that it looks for another just (18 yrs) !!!

I will tell you, in my own experience that it is. Not because it's immoral or the guy is a sick person, but the maturity issue. and people do change.\nAnd don't think it's because a guy can't get a girl his own age. i actually had quite a few girlfriends before her and they were all close to my age or older. \nSadly, I am now divorced, kept the children and am good friends with her. Actually, after five years of separation we are considering getting back together. I still care for her and she for me.\n All in all it is wrong if it is for the wrong reasons.

I know it's upsetting to you right now, but generally these age things work themselves out.  The May/December thing seems nice at first: it's a pleasant change for the older person to have a frisky young person with them and the younger person likes having the responsible, older mature person.  However, these differences become something they begin to dislike and generally they will break up once they realize they have such different lives.  Don't worry about it for a couple of months.  If things get more serious, then talk to your daughter about your fears.

I think that this would depend on not how old or young someone is but how old they act. You could be a man dating a younger woman and the man could just be a young at heart fun loving adventurous person, like the younger girl.  It also really depends if you are both at the same maturity level.

I think 16 is the appropriate age.  That's when I started dating.  By then you have a better idea of guys and what they are like.  But I guess it really depends on the individual.  I know I won't let my daughter date until 16.

If you are looking for a long term relationship...marriage down the line, I would seriously consider the fact that most men in their latter years prefer a younger woman.  90% that is.  \n\nIn other words, when you are 50, he will be looking 35 year old women.  If you don't believe me, just ask your older female friends.

There's nothing wrong with an 18 year old dating a 15 year old - as long as you can 'stay within the law' in your relationship. \n\nIn 5 years you will be 23 and she will be (at least) 20 ..... not such a difference now is there?\n\nShe may have lied about her age because she likes you and doesn't want you to dismiss her as 'just a kid'.\n\nTell her that you don't care about her age, you just want to keep her in your life, then sit back and let time take its course.\n\nAs you seem to be such a thoughtful, considerate guy, I'm sure it will all come out right in the end.\n\nHappy Silver Wedding by the way.......;o]

Thank you "Lady Wyn"...very good answer...I am 42 and my girlfirend just turned 21 and It has nothing at all to do with her age on why we are going out....its all about liking the same stuff....we love the same music, the same books, the same tv shows, the same places to eat....we both love to play pool and love the beach...and in general just enjoy each others company. I have dated women from 18-50 and had a great time with all of them and I don't keep looking for one certian age group....its whoever appeals to me and who I also appeal to...so stop being so shallow!
