I love how people are shitting on the TC here, like there isn't a moral or ethical quandary to be had when you're dating a co-worker almost half your age.
There isn't an ethical quandary. The risk of a younger person dating an older person is of them being exploited. If you are the older person, then you have control over whether to exploit them or not. You can choose to be a shitty person or a good person in the relationship. That isn't a quandary, it's just a question of your character.

Good on you TC. I am gay, and don't think it's cool to date more than ten years outside my age either. I certainly don't like men old enough to be my father, creeping on me.

^ This.

While I don't have issues with age gaps, if everyone are consenting adults, its their lives, this would be a bad idea all round. I certainly wouldn't be making my interest known in this situation, I'd put it down to "shit happens" and leave it. It could go really badly. If they were clearly interested then that changes things a bit, but 19 is still a teenager which gives you an advantage over them even if you try not to have one, and there is the issue of work colleagues.

That isn't a quandary, it's just a question of your character.

This isn't necessarily due to age but inexperience (they're not mutually exclusive). I had friends who had ample dating experience but still were unprepared for their relationships that ended up flipping their worlds and made life 10000x more difficult.

But it is true that the biggest boon of a younger girl is that she's more malleable and willing to learn while someone OP's age has had her ideals forged by years of life experience which would make it very difficult for her to adapt to a different lifestyle. This makes a difference if you're aiming for a grand life goal that involves a good deal of risk. I don't know what OP's ambitions are so these things may or may not matter to him.

Not surprised that a site full of virgins/people who don't get laid often has a bunch of people who don't bat an eye at this. You'd have to be pretty desperate to date a 19 year old at 34, I mean ewww.

Though it's pretty ridiculous that this guy thought she was 25 and now decided to share lol. I'd keep it to myself if I did something like that

This makes a difference if you're aiming for a grand life goal that involves a good deal of risk. I don't know what OP's ambitions are so these things may or may not matter to him.

This is true, but I think it goes deeper than that. I've done the younger woman thing twice, one ended badly and the other (my current GF as it happens) is going well. The key difference is that while my GF is younger than me, shes older than the one that went badly.

Ironically, the one that went badly was 19 when it all started. It wasn't something I went into lightly, I had just gotten out of a very bad long term relationship so my mindset was like "okay, I'll give this a chance". I was as fluid as possible about it all, and still, loads of problems started to occur. The biggest problem was what we wanted from each other. Which was ironic because I wanted to take things slow, but she pushed quite hard to move faster. But she ended up confusing the hell out of me, talking big and then freaking out about it when I eventually started to come around to that. I think when someone is 19/20 they're starting to get ready for serious relationships so toy with the idea, but just aren't there yet. It causes problems, and we were just discussing the possible future, not actively planning anything.

Then there are ambitions, even though I was more tied down than her I was really flexible, but it was almost impossible to draw any compromise. That was definitely an age thing.

Also, arguments tend not to resolve themselves well.

Needless to say, it didn't last and we both ended up getting hurt when it ended and I wasn't doing that again.

A short time later, stuff started to develop with a friend. She was also younger so I was way more hesitant about it, but people around me encouraged me to give it a go. While she was younger, she was in her early 20's and its been a totally different experience. Both mostly on the same page, progressing at around the same pace, planning stuff wasn't stressful, both flexible, everything is good and normal. We have a great relationship.

People change a lot between 19 and their 20's. I think 19 is just too young, if someone is younger I think they need to be in their 20's for you to be at all on the same page with stuff.

So yeah, TC, you're making the right choice. From experience, it doesn't tend to work out well.

No, not desperate. Thats a cheap stereotype. Typically, its not desperate virgins who find themselves in these situations. I know lots of people who have done this stuff, sure sometimes it might be desperation or something weird. More often than not though, its just a case of getting swept up in something, having a "well, you only live once" mindset and believing that it'll all work out. Followed by getting hurt.

Oh yeah, the ones who are saying "its hot", absolutely. But the ones who are more "hey, why not"... thats very typical. When I threw caution to the wind, so many people were saying that. And I mean guys being jovial, women friends who are completely rational, were just like "hey, live, you spend years in a relationship... now its time to live again, blah blah blah". So that sentiment is totally common.

BIB: Yeah. I agree, from experience, he really shouldn't.

The wife part makes this one especially weird. Either they really rushed into marriage or this guy started getting to know her before she was 18

Two monks were walking down a path when they see a beautiful young woman lying by the road. She has twisted her ankle and asks if they can help carry her back home. The older monk puts her on his back and carries her a little ways to the house she points out to them. The two monks continue on their journey, but the younger monk is unable to get the beautiful young woman out of his mind. Finally, he just has to bring it up to his traveling companion.

"She was gorgeous and her robe was loose. You could almost see her breasts. How could you carry her like that as if it were nothing. Weren't you afraid of being tempted and breaking your Buddhist vows?"

The older monk nods. "Yes she was very beautiful and I was tempted while I carried her. But I only carried her to her doorstep and left her there hours ago. After all that time, why are you still carrying her?"

I should probably point out that being around teenagers that are 17/18 have shown me that they are terribly immature.

So no I won't be trying to get in her pants. But thank you for trying to convince me taking advantage of a 19 year old is a good idea.
No problem with those saying it's fine. Those that seem to be overjoyed at the prospect of the age difference are a bit odd considering she literally only graduated about a year ago

even if she was your age or older TC, the fact that she's a co-worker makes it NOPE for me because we've all seen/heard about how people dating co-workers ends up badly like 99.9999% of the time

her being 19 is irrelevant in this situation imo because dating co-workers = blerghhhhhhh HARD PASS anyways

If two people like each other and are of legal age, there is no reason not to give it a shot.

A good friends parents have a 13 year gap, and they're one of most caring couples I've met. They've been together over 30 years.

According to a lot of people on this board they should have never have been together.

No, that's not usually why. I'm 31 and 95% of the time, I wouldn't even consider dating someone that's still college age.

I don't think it's creepy, but at that age, she likely wouldn't have the level of maturity that I want in a woman. We would also be at a very different stages in life. It just wouldn't work out. I have no problem hitting on women in their 40's though.

"Maturity level" is part of what makes it creepy, unless you're suggesting that all older guys who date younger women are immature themselves. Or maybe a lot of them just want to take advantage of their immaturity. It's easier to hide your shortcomings from someone who is more naive and doesn't have the life experience to recognize them
