Nothing wrong with it at all. If the two of you are interested in each other, then by all means, go for it! Even if she just ends up being a friend, why not? And even something more, that's good too!

My boyfriend has the rule that if you take your age and divide it by two, then add seven, that's the youngest age you should date. But I say screw it. There is nothing wrong with enjoying the company of a younger woman and feeling any sort of attraction to her either. Whether this remains a friendship or develops to anything more intimate, as long as there's -reciprocation-, age makes no difference.

I have had quite a few older guys say they have fallen in love with me just through conversation. I didn't even have any interest in these guys and had no idea they had any interest either. I don't think it is wrong in most circumstances. In your case, I don't find anything wrong with it. A breath of fresh air!

Interesting feedback.

For my part I think age is just a number (and I am talking about friendships or fooling around...which I dont do since I am in a relationship). I don't care how old a person is as long as we have common interests.

However, when it comes to serious relationships there can be some issues when you take into account the two peoples priorities in their life.

For example, it might not work here but it is an example to explain my point. I know someone who is slightly younger than his girlfriend (about 10 years) and right now in her life, her priority is financial freedom and children, while the person I know is still in school and cannot save all his money as he needs it for expenses related to school. So there is a riff in the relationship.

So, I guess as long as both people in the relaiotnship have common interests and very similar priorities then it shouldnt be a problem.

My two cents

I think there's more to being in a relationship than just age. That said, my current significant other is 18 years older than I am, so I'm rather biased.

I think maturity matters more than one's birthday, and as long as both parties are willing to do anything to make it work, it will work.

My partner is 6.5 years older than I am. I'm not going to lie, at times it has been really tough with the age difference. We're different places in our lives, experiencing different things, expecting different things... etc. But it has been worth it. I really do think age is just a number and that people can connect on levels not thought possible by conventional expectations.

However, that being said, I would be extremely careful. Even though 19 is a legal adult, there is a major difference between young adulthood and adulthood. Unfortunately, even if you don't "believe" in societal restrictions, they exist. Dating someone so much younger is taboo and could backfire on you.

I'd say this is a potentially sticky situation. Take it slow.

Well, my current S.O. is 14 years younger then I am, there is the thrills and amusment of her lack of knowing things in the world that keep things interesting. We have been through a lot in the almost 4 years that we have been together, not by either of our choices but still the same we have been and that has made the relationship that much stonger. I get a kick out of helping her out and pushing her, she is now just started taking classes online as I am, she wanted to be a teacher and now she is on her way to making that happen. Sexualy she is a sponge, with her growing up in a home where it wasn't taked about, other then a short, this is why your bleeding, here are some pads,and some asprin you will be fine....! UGH...

Now on the other hand I have been in relationships where we were the same age as well as the woman being 14 years older. In all I look at things like this.. We meet people when we meet them for a reason, weather it is to help that person with something, or that person helping us with something, there is a lesson to be learned from all that we meet. I don't look at a chance meeting as just something that happens, even more so when they have a impact on your life.
