Age difference
Do you think it's a big deal for an 18 year old girl to go out with a 26 year old guy? Is that too much of an age difference?

Age doesnt matter. If you love someone, you should show that you love them.

I don't think it is a big deal, but even though you are an adult, and unsure if you should of not, you might wnat to talk to your parents about it. Even if you think that they won't know what your talking about, find out their age difference, it could be the same as yours.
Hope this helps,

well your 18...your legal...you can date whoever you want...if you fall in love with an 80 year old...no one can do anything about it...it's 8 years...and right now...with you just being 18 I'd say it's a bit of a big age difference...when your younger the differences seem bigger...but if your 20 and going out with a 28 year old it doesn't sound as bad...get what I'm saying...but if you really like him go out with him...no one can stop you.

It depends on the girl and what her maturity level is. If you can handle yourself, emotions and anything else that may come along in a mature adult manner than there's nothing wrong with dating someone that age as long as they are not in a position of authority or power over you or a co-worker etc.
You are 18-years-old now making you an adult and old enough to make adult decisions and your own decisions. You could legally date anyone the same age or older than you regardless of age at this point.
If you have a good rapport with this guy and both of you think it's worth trying to make work than there's nothing stopping you. Having said that your parents and other adults will likely be against it.
Ideally dating someone closer to your own age is best but if you want to date him and both of you are mature adults than go ahead with it.
Personally, I would stick to guys closer to your age rather than older. That way you will be on par with one another as the world of a 26-year-old is very different from an 18-year-old. But, like I said if you know you can make it work there's not a problem with pursue it as you're an adult as is he legally.

Yes, I think it's too much of an age difference.
The law says it's okay, but common sense should tell you this: that guy is eight years older then you, that means he has lived eight more years on this planet then you have, has more experience to draw from and vastly different needs and expectations then you do.
Could you imagine yourself dating a 10 year old? Probably not. What on earth would you talk about? What would you do together? Although physically you probably feel more similar to a 26 year old then a 10 year old, the fact remains that people change a gigantic amount between their teens and their mid twenties, it might not be as visible as puberty, but it is happening. All your values, interest and expectations evolve and shift. Trust me on that, I’m watching it happen to myself and others right now.
Proceed with caution. It's not that you can't make it work, just that such an arrangement will probably end up being more confusing and more trouble then it is worth. You just aren't at the same place in life, and you can't be.
