Personally, the moment I was out of high school, it was like this huge barrier was erected against dating people from there. I just don't think I could stomach it myself, and had no interest anyway. If it works for you it's probably fine. People will talk because of the high school thing though... but there's really no reason you need feel bothered by this.

Most of our parents have higher differences between their ages than this

Average age differential between heterosexual married couples in the US is somewhere between +2 and +3 for the male, so not really. Granted some could be greater than +5 in either direction (my own mother is +5 on my father), but I still find it highly unlikely it's anywhere near "most". That said, minority or not, there's nothing necessarily wrong with it.

I'm dating a 31-year-old at 19 and when I went to a party with his coworkers no one gave him s*** for it. 23 and 18 is fine.

They are behind his back. I guarantee it.


This. So very this. If you're over that far over the "magic line" some use involving proximity to age 14, people will talk. Again, this doesn't necessarily mean you need to be bothered by this.

Personally I can't fathom wanting to date someone that far apart in age (on either end) but I'm not going to judge what works for other people.

Funny seeing this topic, I had a similar dilemma with a girl this summer..... except she's already done highschool... yet doesn't turn 18 until November.



I didn't go for it :\

i didn't ask her about it, i searched her name and she didn't come up


You'd be surprised at how many people don't show up even when you input their entire name correctly. The search function is weird like that.

I was in a similar situation to you. From 18-22 I was in a relationship with someone who 30-34 at the time. And it wasn't just a casual thing, we lived together until we broke up (she wanted kids and I never wanted them, not because of m age I just never wanted kids).

Nobody cared.
