When you are with this person, are you happy, do you have fun together? Can you trust the person you are with, and the most important question... are you old enough to even think about being in a serious relationship. I never understood why people in their early 20's or younger are so hell bent on being in a serious relationship. You need to go out there and experience life because there will be a time in your life where you will be ready to settle down with that one special person and understand what "True Love" really is. Don't let your peers pressure you or your loins for lust fool you into thinking you are in love. Most of you here don't even have a clue as to what love is or what it takes to keep it. Learn life's lessons so you can make wiser decisions as you progress through life.

Look past the age for a minute.  I mean, I know some 30 year olds that act like they're 50 and I know some 50 year olds that act like they're 30.  Age is irrelevant to some extent. Let me emphasize "some extent".  Although the mind may think younger, the body will eventually answer the question "What's my age again?".   Ok, re-track back to my first statement. *waits while you read it again*.  Now, it is very nice to be complimented.  (if I may, your nose looks quite lovely today!) and it is nice that someone has taken an interest in you.  But, the real question is, would YOU date him?  The mere fact that you are contemplating it leads me to believe you may have some interest.  But, is this interest only because he has showed you some attention?  Perhaps you should casually spend some time with him and see if he is someone you would date.  I don't know the man.  I mean, if you want, I can shoot down to....."where?" and scope out the situation.  You know, stare him up and down and ask him what his intentions are......shake him up a little.

No. The only thing I have to say to this is you might be passing up some real gems by not dating anyone who isn't at least 5 years older than you. Don't be completely oblivious to them. In fact, I usually look for guys who are a few years older than me as well but I have recently met a fantastic guy who is actually 2 years younger than me! I never thought that would happen!

Yes, if you like him and are interested in him you should ask him out. Remember, age does'nt matter when you like someone. Anyways, it's not like he's 4 years younger than you.Also remember that there is no age in likeing someone or when you fall in love.

age is nothing but a number, only way its not ok is if it really bothers one of you two, no one else matters, i'm a 26yr old guy dating a 36 yr old woman and there is nothting wrong with it, nor is it wrong to be 26 dating a 19 year old

I date and live with a man that is 10 yrs. younger than I am, and we have the most wonderful love and relationship you could imagine. I personally do not think age should matter at all as long as the two of you are happy.

There's no age limit for dating. What matters is that you and the guy click!

As long as you don't act like an old fuddy duddy and have similar interests, why not.  I've been known to date older men and we got along fine.  As long as both of you know what is expected of each other then it should work out.

I am 40 and the last guy I dated was 28 but he was very mature for his age. Ordinarily I don't date guys quite this young (my cut off point is usually mid-thirties) but there was something about him... Our relationship lasted 6 months but it turned out that he was immature in some ways after all (he used to cross-examine me about my previous relationships, for one and got ridiculously jealous) and I am too old to put up with that sh!t. So I ended it.\n\nThere is nothing wrong with wanting to date older women but be aware - some of them will want more from you than you might be prepared to give. You also have to be able to hold their interest outside the bedroom. In my experience, most guys in their 20s can't do this because they simply don't have enough life experience/exposure to relationships.\n\nIt is also true that there will be some older women out there who want nothing more than a bunk up. I wish you luck finding them.

Hi, I remember when I was your age I thought that a guy 1 year younger was a 'lot younger'. If he's a good person, { and especially if he's cute!}, defiantly go out with him.        ps. some advice for your future, 20 or even more years from now, when you meet a guy 20 years younger than you,  STILL GO FOR IT!!!        pss. Also remember this rule, "once a mistake, twice a habit", when any man shows signs of disrespect, or hurts you in any way, BOUNCE!!! Before you get to attached to him. You'll save yourself a lot of heartache!

how old is way too old? go out with the guy you have known for 4 years. It sounds like you may be able to trust him more

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 .

I think that so long as it doesn't bother either of you - go for it. When I was 18 I dated a guy who was 40 - there's nothing wrong with it so long as you have things in common and you don't let the age different impact the relationship.

It sounds to me like he was kind of hinting for a date.  After the washing my hair line he was probably too intimidated to ask you out directly so he was feeling you out to see what kind of reaction he would get.  As far as your age difference goes, I can't say what is or is not appropriate.  I have know some 19 year old men who were more honest, level headed, and mature than some 30 year old men I know.  People grow and mature at different rates and what matters isn't that your ages be compatible, but that your maturity levels be compatible.

It sounds like he might be interested. If he's single and he's really a nice guy - just see what happens -- and let it flow naturally. Don't try to force anything. \n\nDon't listen to others who are hung up on the age difference. Age is a state of mind. But do beware that getting into a serious relationship with someone who's older is a little different than someone closer to your age. If you get serious and end up together -- there will come a point where you worry about him being so much older.....just think - when you're 41 - he'll be 60....when you're 51 - he'll be 70.....\n\nGood luck:)

ARE YOU CRAZY?!!! YES IT IS BAD!!\nLets think this through..\nwhat would an 18 yr old want with a 11 yr old?\nObviuosly not a potential lifemate becuz of the lack of experience the 11 yr old has plus, the immaturity level.not that 18 yr olds are mature either...ONE THING that an 18 yr old wants from an 11 yr old, who is lacking in experience,  is sex..\nPLUS!!\nWould you date someone 7 years younger than you?!!
