Hey you guys!!! This has nothing to do with weight loss, but I want an opinion. Do you think it's ok for an 18 year old girl to date a 25 year old? When he asked me for my number last time, I didn't give it to him because I thought the age difference was just ICKY. But now I'm regretting it...he's the first guy I've ever liked so deeply. What do you think?

Wow! So many replies! thanks, guys! Yah, I know it sounds like a big age difference, and I know I could get hurt. I've never taken a risk in my life before, though. ...and 25 year old guys have "needs" don't they?

lol i think that if you both like eachother there's nothing wrong with it..I mean..its legal cuz your 18. I'm only 15 but I went out with a 21 yr old so I mean..maybe its cuz I'm a idiot and dont really care but i think you should do what makes you happy. if he's a good guy and treats you right go for it. live life and have a blast.you only have one life

Well, there's a 7 year difference. And when you tihnk about it, just imabing a 14 year old dating a 7 year old. I don't like the sound of it.

It depends on his intentions... aside from getting emotionally hurt, he may be using you and such.. so just be careful!

It seems to me that the older you get the less the whole age difference thing matters, but 25 still seems like a pretty big difference to me. I would think really hard about possible consequences before you okay the relationship.

If you love the person I don't see how age should matter...

i think that at 18 years of age it's your decision...

as long as u like the guy and he likes you back and u feel completely safe around him then i fink its fine. im 15 and i used 2 go out with a 26 year old. my freind who is 21 is goin out with a 38 year old. as long as u love the guy then go 4 it but only if u no ur feelings r true. dont want u gettin hurt. Age is only a number. xxx
