Hello everyone. I have something up for debate here, and I'm sure it has been discussed in several other forum posts. However, I'd like to get your input. I'm 23 and there are several freshman this year that are pretty attractive and honestly seem like dating potential. Is it wrong to date an 18 year old when I'm 23? I seem younger than 23 and I look younger than it. I mean, this one person I've been hanging out with seems to have the intelligence of an over 20 year old, so that's a major deciding factor for me.... but is it morally and ethically right? :eusa_doh:
I think that, as long as he is of legal age, you can try and pursue a relationship with him. Obviously, you might have differing maturity or stage in life, but if you are mature enough to maintain a relationship with someone a bit younger, then give it a try. What can happen? Either it works out fine or it doesn't. It's not the end of the world if it doesn't and it isn't either if it does.
My sister's husband is 5 years older then her and they began dating when she was about 18 and a half or so. They have been together for 10 years, married for almost 3 and have a 2 and a half year old daughter now, so no I don't think there is anything wrong with it.. If you are fine with it and the other person involved is fine with it, then don't worry what others think.
I don't think It's wrong at all I'm 24 and I have the mentality of a 16 year old, so I would consider it as well
