Most men mature at a slower rate than women.  An old Italian system for the proper age of a couple is : the woman should be half the age of the man, plus seven years.  ie.) a 40 y.o. Man should date a 27 y.o. woman.  A 13 year difference in that case.  I say go for it.  The two of you have a good chance of being compatible.

Having a 13 year age difference is not advisable. That type of age difference is fine if the youngest person is middle aged maybe, but the maturity levels are to extreme with a 14 and 27 year old. The 27 year old is looking at settling down and having a wife; while the 14 year old has hardly began puberty. It is also VERY illegal! Not to sound rude or anything, but if a 27 year old is fine with dating a 14 year old then there might be a problem with the 27 year old.

u are 28 and mature enough to take decisions of ur life.first b sure that u love her or its just that u want to have sex with her as u are attracted to her.if u really love her and so does she then just go ahead but u should also take care of -ve aspects of ur age difference.

It depends in part on how old you are...if one or both of you are, say, under fifteen or so, that's a big difference in terms of maturity, etc.  \n\nWith that said, I'm a bit older than my bf (two years in school grades, one year and a couple months in age) and although I got a bit of teasing about "robbing the cradle" at first (and I'm willing to bet he got jokes about dating an "older woman") we've been together for quite a while now, with no age-related problems :)  So no, there's nothing wrong with that.  Good luck!

Billy, In my opinion I find that it depends on if you are really looking at dating as really trying to build a relationship or if it's more for just the company of having someone to do things with. At your age which is only 2 years older than this girl I find the aspect of dating okay as long as you sustain from doing things that truly might change your life and hers in ways that you two are far from ready for. So just have fun and don't get to serious just yet, there is still to much life you need to live before complicating it .

that question is up to you and your girlfriend. if you care and love each other then it should. age ain't nothing but a number. I have been dating my boyfriend for 3 1/2 years, he's 25 and i'm 19.

Nothing is wrong with it as long as it is consentual and a relationship based on respect and affection.  When I was 18 I dated a 44 year old guy, we stayed together for 3 years and we're still great friends.  \n\nHowever I've also known older men that prey on younger women and men because they are less experianced, and use them for sex, like that they can easily control them, or fetishize them to a startling extreme.  That is not cool to me because it lacks the fundamental respect for their partner.\n\nIt doesn't matter if your bf is 18 or 85, you should both be treating each other as equals with respect and no exploitation.  That advice goes to couples who are the same age too.

I have to say I don't disagree with it.  It says go with an 18 year old boy not have sex with.\n\nAnd an 18 year old boy could technically be in high school with this 15 year old.  Besides, the girl being younger has a lot to do with studies that indicate that women/ girls mature much faster then men.  So why shouldnt a younger girl try to be with someone more mature then a 15 year old boy.\n\nAs long as the morals are correct and the maturity is there, I would say its fine.

All the girls I ever have dated were older than me. Nothing wrong with that, as long as he is old enough to day anybody. Now if you are like older than 18, and he is like 16, then don't be doing the nasty with him till he is 18 too!!!!

Actually, it depends on what state you are in. Yeah, 18 is legal anywhere, but in some places it would be okay for someone who is 26 to be with someone who is 16.

I dont see anything wrong with dating a younger man, as long as there are limits to the age difference(not 18 or younger)  \n\nIf his maturity level is good with you, he treats you good, makes you laugh, has a  job, and is an all and all decent guy I dont see anything wrong with it.    \n\nPLEASE BE AWARE THAT ALOT OF THE ONLINE DATERS DO LIE.  SO PLEASE BE VERY VERY CAREFUL OUT THERE IN CYBERSPACE!!!!!

No it is not too young. I see you do not PLAN to have sex, but things DO happen. Just remember that after you turn 18 YOU are of legal adult age. She is not. If for any reason something goes wrong with the relationship, IF she wants to cause yu a problem she can cause you a world of trouble. Take all that into consideration before you make any moves. Good Luck.

just like its ok for a man to have a relationship with a 10 years younger woman and everybody accept it and society is fine with it, well, the same should stand for a man who likes a 10 years older woman..since you are over 18, we are cool..

It's a matter of personal choice - love has no boundaries... my dad is married to someone 16 years younger than him... his wife likes older men, and he likes younger women.. also, when you are in high school, you may think that it's wrong to date someone who's 3 years older, but then as you get into college you may start thinking it's ok to date someone who's 5-10 years older.. It all comes down to personal preference. So long as it's not like you're under 18 years old or dating someone in your own family! That's considered unethical in many societies.\n\nMore answers to your question in the link below.

According to her stiffing you on the date, and her reaction to asking about it, I say it's a no-win situation.  It could definitely happen with someone half your age, but I don't see it happening any time soon.  Girls at 18 are still just girls, regardless of how grown they think they are.  Younger guys are more apt to deal with this sort of behavior, because it's a younger people-type problem.  \nI won't shame you for going after a young woman, as you seem to at least have your head on straight, which I have come to find is STILL somewhat rare in men, even up to age 60 (I could be wrong, but you made it sound good)!  But I think you'd be better off to deal with someone closer to your age, even mid-twenties.  Why?  I'm 24, and I'm gaining a preference for men in their mid-thirties, though I do find people who impress me at younger ages, and older men who still disgust me with their antics.  \nI think it's probably best that you let her deal with her peer pressure and peer group mingling, and move on to greener pastures, lest you drive yourself crazy and find out I was right several months later  ;-)\n\nGood luck to you  :-)
