If you were 18, would you hang out with a 34 year old....?

Question

i answered an ad for friends on gumtree and asked the person how old they were and they said 34 now im thinking shoud I become this persons friend and meet up..?

I would prefer someone of my age

they are interested in the same things as me like art, music, cooking baiking, museums theatre...etc(basically the arts)

what do you think?

Answer 1

no that just wierd

Answer 2

that would be kinda creepy...

Answer 3

No! dont! its really dangerous!

Answer 4

it's totaly normal

am 15 yrs old and i have 1 friend 20 and another about 30 see him as ur old bro or sis

Answer 5

Sure thats great, it all depends on the individual and its not like you lack things in common

Answer 6

I don't think it is a good idea at all, 16 yeas is a lot, there is no way that a 34 year old will think the same as an 18 year old, I suggest you get someone your age and be happy and not sorry later on.

Answer 7

keep yourself safe and keep well away from him if he cannot make friends with people his own age then he is probably a weirdo

Answer 8

Truthfully, the age difference isn't that big. 16 years, right? That's less of a gap between my mom and her boyfriend.

Why not meet up with him? He may turn out to act like an 18 year old.

Just don't die.

Answer 9

Well think if he is 34 four he is 16 yrs more mature than you and 16 years more adult than you he may be ready for things that you aren't

Answer 10

May be.......but follow your heart.

Answer 11

Well, I was going to say yes, if they have the same interests when I read the title to you question but having read more about it I would be a little bit worried.  Are they the same gender as you?  If so, I'd go but take someone else with you.

Answer 12

i was 19 when i met by boyfriend who waas 35 at the time and we have been togeather for 5 years now - its great having friends that are older and wiser as you can learn a lot from them from all asspects of life

the only thing i would be a little bit wary about is the way you mey your friend but apart from that i would say go for it you have everything to gain and nothing to lose  

Answer 13

Not me for sure. I've met up with ppl over the net when i was your age n thr was diz one time when i also met up wif someone who was say 10yrs my senior. He was so different from the way he described himself online. Lol...

Answer 14

I am going to agree that age doesn't really matter.  An 18-year-old is an adult who can make her own decisions :)

If you say you would prfer someone your own age, then don't go.  If you want to go, then do it.

Make sure you meet up somewhere very public with a lot of people around and like the other answerer said, "Don't die."

There is always risk of "stranger danger," regardless of someone's age.  Careful!  xo

Answer 15

no get friends your age

Answer 16

If the interests are pure, as you've indicated, you'll do well to have an older friend. If the interests take a bad turn, you're looking for trouble since an older "friend" in such circumstances will have an experience advantage that will drag you right into the abyss.

Answer 17

i won't thats kinds wried.

they say age doesn't matter.

so if u trust them and all then go

for it hang out but don't do anything

that you will regret

Answer 18

yeah meet him am 18 and i would....... not eveyones a killer or werid

Answer 19

Yeah sure, go meet him. Why Not?

But make sure you take a grenade with you just in case :o)

Answer 20

If you are not comfortable meeting up you can stay on-line friends.

Answer 21

there is nothing wrong with having older friends but until you get to know this person don't meet them alone.Take you time and be care full.
