your 18. most of the time people think its wrong to go out with older people because they might think its peer presure. I think you are able to make decisions for yourself, if you like him go for it.
hope i helped. =]

Who cares what anyone here thinks?
If you, personally, want to date a 26 year old, then by all means, go for it.
You're old enough to make wise decisions for yourself.
If you both connect with each other, then give it a try.
Age is only a number. and you are both adults after all!
Very best of luck.

Well, age does NOT matter. So if you're really into him go for it :]
just don't get yourself into trouble!
good luck <3

Kittzen talking,
That's a bit of a streach don't you think eight years but if you want to and really like that guy by all means, just make sure you know the guy pretty well before going out with him, all thoses saftey issues and all. but just really get a hold on thigs before you run off with him on a date and such, feel comfortable around.
also it may work in the long shot so if you like him go for it if you don't dump him fast.
Be safe,
Kittzen

No one can stop you from dating a 26 year old.
It's the same way that no one can stop you from driving 200 miles/hr on a completely deserted road.
No one can stop you, and the only one you are going to hurt is yourself.
Is it a good idea for an 18 year-old to date a 26 year-old? Probably not. I'm 23 myself and in all honesty, I wouldn't date an 18 year-old. I don't have enough in common with an 18 year-old to consider them as a serious partner.
I think age diffence becomes a very different issue once both members are over 25. At that point, you have a good idea of who you are and how you want to live.
However, as a teen and a young twenty-something, age DOES matter. Life experience and choices matter. A lot. You can only achieve those things with time.
I would be worried about a guy who is 26 and still has so much in common with an 18 year-old that he would date one seriously. Not because there is anything wrong with being 18, but because by 26 years-old you should have VERY different goals and interests then you had at 18.
If he is a healthy adult, he should be at a very different place in his life then you are. If he is at the same place in life as you, an 18 year-old is, that doesn't very reflect well on him.
Go ahead and date him if you would like. I might be completely wrong, but I will tell in you in total honesty the guys my age who I see dating teenage girls are, without exception, the ones that no girl my age would date because they generally just don't have thier shit togeather.

If you like him, and he's a nice guy, I see no reasony why you shouldnt. Just keep in mind that a 26 year old guy might be ready to settle down.

I have no where near enough information to say if you should go out with this guy or not--All I know about him is his age. However, his age by itself is no reason NOT to go out with him, so there you go.

From there:
Age is just a number. Think about it. What are your parents ages? Chances are that they are about 2 or 3 years different. My mom is 45 and my dad is 46- they're close- but let's pretend my dad is a 9th grader- well my mom would be an 8th grader. Is it weird that they're married? No. So does the situation change because they're younger or older? No. And if someone or anyone thinks that- they are just a bubbling idiot and they deserve to be smacked across the face. Only kidding. =D. But seriously, it isn't weird. If both of you are fine with it- then who CARES what the heck other people think? I certainly don't care that you're dating a 7th grader- age is just a number, again, and its only odd if you're a 9th grader dating a 45 year old man. =D.

Sure. Age is just a number. Your 18, which is considered an adult. You can make your own decisions. If thats who you want to be with, then thats your choice. (:
