If a guy is really mature, but only 18, is it wrong to date him if the girl is 36?

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) !!!

There is nothing wrong at all with that. Don't let yourself get wrapped up in the whole 'age thing'.  If he makes you happy and you enjoy his company, then that's all that matters.

age is nothing but a number, only way its not ok is if it really bothers one of you two, no one else matters, i'm a 26yr old guy dating a 36 yr old woman and there is nothting wrong with it, nor is it wrong to be 26 dating a 19 year old

I have to say I don't disagree with it.  It says go with an 18 year old boy not have sex with.\n\nAnd an 18 year old boy could technically be in high school with this 15 year old.  Besides, the girl being younger has a lot to do with studies that indicate that women/ girls mature much faster then men.  So why shouldnt a younger girl try to be with someone more mature then a 15 year old boy.\n\nAs long as the morals are correct and the maturity is there, I would say its fine.

The numbers of years difference would not be so bad if you were 33 and he was 48. At 18 you are far too young to be involved with a man that age.... He's lived and you haven't. You have dreams and he should already achieving his... Too many differences to over come. yeah he might treat you very well...but you will come to resent him eventualy and angry for having wasted your time.

It is fine. I am 24 and my husband is 35. we are very diffrent in age and it is great for us. Also not to say that it should be done or that it is legal and it has to do with the how mature the girl is. I feel it is fine to have relations with someone under the age of 18. many girls have sex befor the age of 18 but it should strongly weigh on her matuity. I think waiting untill the two people know that they are going to be married in the future is best or even waiting untill they are makes it even better. I know sounds a little harsh, but imagine this the people have just been married and how much more the two will want it and feel the romace of it all if they wait. Everyone has their own feelings about that though. If the two of them date for a couple years it is perfectly legal for the two of them to get married in most states befor the age of 18 and in some states can even do it now, but may still need a parents consent to do so. tell your friend and I am sure he will have even more fun making out how much he loves her to her and if marriage is something he really wants with her in the future making those plans with her too.

There is nothing wrong with liking older guys.\nI have always dated older, and I find that they have an equal maturity level to me (Because girls mature mentally faster than boys).\nDon't get too carried away with the older ones though. Never date higher than 4 years older if you're under 18. You're only 13 and they might try to pressure you into something you don't want to rush into. Take your time, and make sure his motives are legit (this goes for ANY guy- no matter age, race, creed, etc.). Just be careful.

it depends on the age difference.\n\nI'm 18, I wouldn't date a guy younger than 17.

No it is not wrong, all parents get stricted especially when it comes to their little girl dating, they get abit edgy on this subject cause they think you might have sex and also think a guy might force you to have it and all sorts of things.\n\nIf your dating that just fine just remeber dont have sex til like 18! and remeber have it with someone who you love and at the right time, hope this helps.

No, it is not illegal to continue dating your girlfriend. She is considered your contemporary (meaning she is in your age group) because she is less than 3 years younger than you. Thats great if you guys are not having sex but if you both decide that you want to, I don't think thats a problem either. It depends on the age of consent in your state. Sometimes it is as low as 14. In the majority of states it is 16. That means she takes the responsibility for consenting to having intercourse with a contemporary whether or not he is minor like she is.

as long as you are both of legal age, then yes there is nothing wrong with having a relationship with anyone, no matter what age. good luck.

I dont see anything wrong with dating a younger man, as long as there are limits to the age difference(not 18 or younger)  \n\nIf his maturity level is good with you, he treats you good, makes you laugh, has a  job, and is an all and all decent guy I dont see anything wrong with it.    \n\nPLEASE BE AWARE THAT ALOT OF THE ONLINE DATERS DO LIE.  SO PLEASE BE VERY VERY CAREFUL OUT THERE IN CYBERSPACE!!!!!

I think that you should wait until you do reach 18 before getting romanticly involved with him because too many bad things could happen if you guys get into a fight since you are still a minor. But after you turn 18, you should go for it. I'm 26 and am dating a 42 year old. Most of them still act like they're 15 not matter how old they get. lol

Older men who search for younger females is not normal. Generally, there are age barriers which define the lifestyle of that person. IE: a 30 year old searches for marriage and stability while a 17-18 year old is finishing high school/ beginning college and needs to build a career. For the 30 year old, those 2 lifestyles clash considering that one has already entered into adulthood while the other is just learning about it still. Would a 17 year old be ready for a life with a child? but would a 30 year old be ready? yes! so therefore the 17 year old should not be involved with the older individual.

There's nothing wrong with you, it's normal to be attracted to an older guy. However, going out with him now may not be an option. Depending on certain laws, he could get into big trouble messing around with you even you want to, especially since he's probably 18 or older.

When I was 20 I dated a guy who was 26... it was fine for awhile but it didn't last.  I say if you feel like you're on the same level maturity wise and he treats you right, go ahead!
