Is it okay to go out with someone 7 years older??

Question

Im 18 and he is 25. At first i thought it was gross but he is just so cool and so nice i am very confused!!

Answer 1

Depends.  Are you still in high school?  If so, why is a 25 year old dating you?  If you are working or in your first year of college, that is different.  Good luck! :)

Answer 2

In Pineapple Express, it was ok for a 25 year old to date a 18 year old. So yes, I'd say it's ok.

Answer 3

I think it depends on the 2 people involved but personally I have done this and it wasn't "gross" at all. :D

Answer 4

It's fine....remember to swallow!!

Answer 5

yes

Answer 6

dude thats not bad. my parents are seven years apart-- just do what you want and think is right.

Answer 7

Its okay.  Love sees no age.  As long as your both of age.

Answer 8

You have just reached adulthood where  he has been one for some time obviously. No reason not to go out with him but do not go getting serious about him. You need time to experience your new found adulthood. Enjoy yourself and allow yourself the opportunity to experience many things. If you don't have the opportunity to enjoy a few years of freedom and tie yourself down, you will regret it later on in life. So my advice is go and enjoy at least till your 25 also. Good Luck!

Answer 9

yup, it's okay. as long as you trust him, and most importantly, yourself.  been with two guys in the past who were both exactly 7 years older than me (of course, not at the same time) and it turned out fine...

Answer 10

You are an adult now. Age does not really matter when you reach adulthood. I would go for it.  You will probably have fun.

Answer 11

Its okay to try. i did the same thing when i was your age and from my personal experience i wasnt mature enough for a serious relationship and he was ready to settle down so it didnt work.  but if ur both on the same level.

Answer 12

i dunno, it makes me wonder why cant he find a girl his age....o well...

Answer 13

Age doesn't matter in a relationship as long as you don't have the age 18 between you two (cause then it's illegal) and that you love the person. My parents are like 23 years apart, and i'm here aren't i? (i sorta like existing too)

Answer 14

When I met my husband he was 25 and I was 18. We have been together for 6 years.  

Answer 15

my parents are 7 years apart, but thats different.  Your just done with High school and going into college, he is done with all of that and has a job in the real world.  I think this age gap is too large because the maturity difference is huge.  You are at completely different points in your lives.  

But thats just me, if you just wanna give it a try, go for it.  Don't let my BS stop you.  

Answer 16

its true it would be very different if you were 14 or 16, but your an adult just make sure he knows your goals (older men have things like marriage and children on their mind, is that what you want?)

Answer 17

If he can't get you off, you come on up to 29! We will do ya right!

But you WILL be needin loooob.

I'm 7 inches bigger than him

Answer 18

Well my parents are 10 years apart, but they also didnt get together until they were both over 20. If you feel uncomfortable with the fact he is older it may not be a good sign, he is more experienced than you at dating and you dont want him to take advantage of you, alot of guys will. If you really like him just get to know him alot better before you make the next step, make this clear to him if he really likes you too he will wait. Just remember alot of older guys pray on school girls, not saying that he is like that though because i dont know the guy.  

Answer 19

It is, but not with you being 18 and him 25.  It would be very difficult to maintain a relationship with him because you are at 2 very different points in life.  Plus it can be challenging to be dating someone over 21 when you aren't.  You tend to get left out a lot.  

Answer 20

Yeah,it's cool.

Answer 21

That's not too bad.  You might be a bit immature for him though.  He might start figuring that out soon.

If you were any younger though I'd have more doubts.

Answer 22

If its just go out.

He will use you up, and spit you out.

Don't get involved, just go out.

Answer 23

You're an adult, do what you want. Past a certain point (around where you are) age is just a number.  

Answer 24

He is to old for you he might just use you for s*x or other thing. I know you say that he nice to you and cool and everything but that could be a trick he older then you so he has more experience with other girls and your just 18 so you don't have that much experience well that my opinion.

Answer 25

Sometimes age does matter. Maybe he's at an age where he wants to settle down, and you're at the age of dating and having fun, you as an adult know what to do best and if you are happy then age should not matter.

Answer 26

There's nothing wrong to fall in love with a guy who is older than you. I mean I preferred that, he's a lot mature in some aspects that you lack of. He understand your needs more and can be more passionate with love.So if you get along well and may see a future with him. Go for it and just chill and enjoy the company/moment with each other. Who knows?..He could be the guty for you?..

You can never tell..*wink!*

Answer 27

be careul, he may want more from you than you are ready to give and he may be playing with you. guys that age like doing young girls and bragging about it. so be warned and be careful. its your responsibility to take care of you.
