18yr old girl with a 27yr old guy?
There's this guy that I'm seeing [not exclusively in a relationship though] that goes to my college. He took a long break between high school and college and he's not a third year (I'm a first year). We've never talked about our ages or age in general. I want to say that I don't care about age, but a 9 year difference (almost 10 in January) is pretty substantial...
What are your views on this?

Hello darling,
actually I don't think age matters at all. See, I have a sister that is with a 25 year old and she just turned eighteen. As long as you two like eachother for who you are, then nothing else should matter.
Best of luck. xx

Honestly, a lot of people will think this is weird. However, you are 18 and are legal to date whoever you want. Just keep in mind that with that big of an age difference, let's put it this way: he's on a different level of life than you. There's a good possibility that he's looking for marriage and children (or at least soon). You are still very young so make sure you get your point across if you aren't ready for those things.

At 18, You are legally an adult and you are free to date whoever you wish. Yes there is a big age gap but you never know unless you try. If you were under the age of 18 then I would say it would be wrong but again you are an adult.

I also dated a guy the same age when I was 18. Yes, it is pretty substantial age difference, but not insurmountable. Its legal, so.... its just unlikely that this will be the relationship that you settle into for the rest of your life, given the age difference. Sure, you're both at school, but developmentally you are at very different stages in your lives. That said, I see know reason why you shouldn't enjoy each other and get to know each other. As long as you're having a good time together, I don't think there's anything wrong with it. Even though my relationship didn't last, I learned a lot from it and I still treasure the lessons I learned. Jump in and see what happens! If you're uncomfortable, move on... but at least you'll never ask yourself "what if". Good luck!
p.s. -as long as you're ok with the "not exclusively" part, that's cool But if you're not, don't waste your time. If he doesn't want to stick to one girl, that's his business. It doesn't have to be yours.
