So I probably know better than to post this, but I have had a few and need someone elses opinion... I went over to a friends place tonight to play some beer pong and met a girl that actually seems to be pretty awesome( cute, still in school, not a complete idiot.) Well what I want to know is.... Do you guys think its a bad idea for a 23 y/o to date an 18 y/o... I mean I have had my own issues with sub 21 year old girls in the past, buy do you guys think its worth the trouble?

The things I have always hated about girls under 21 is that if I want to go to the bar, I have to take into account her feelings(not being able to go to the bar and such.)


Here is a pic.....



So simply what I ask is how would you all feel about this situation. I always like to see what people have to say...

 

Not trying to kill yer buzz dude but you are asking a bunch of motor heads about dating advice

 

↑↑↑↑↑ [sm=icon_rofl.gif] good point, but here is my 2¢ anyway:

You are only 5 years apart. Same as my wife and I. In my eyes, we are at the same level. At some point, age isn't much of a factor.

If I were you, I would look more at her maturity level. Does she act 16, 18, or 22? Are you mature enough not to worry about what other people might say or think?

Also, and this is important, you don't want to look back yeard from now and think "what if"

Good luck with your decision.

 

Chain, I know I am asking a bunch of motorheads... But I am also a motorhead, so i think the same as most of you all... Not even a big issue, just was a thought... I have dated girls 5 years younger before, just thought I would see what all of you all thought.. I think she's cute... I really dont think anything would come of it but what do you all think about the age difference?

 

I would not have a problem.

I am 22, but I still act like I did at 18 or 19. It depends on how A) where you are in life/how you act, B) where she is in life/how she acts.

when you say "still in school" you mean college right? if so then ok. if you mean high school, then run, no wait, ride you bike full throttle away from that mess.

and does she still live at home? if so thats not the end of the world, but it is a red flag, and depending on how her parents are, could be a royal pain in the A$$. I have been lucky enough to not have had to deal with that since i was in high school my self, but i could only imagine how many problems it could create if her parents were at all, well, parental. (older dudes with motorcycle tend to not go over well with the folks)

 

When I say in school I mean she is finishing up her freshman year of college... I definitely know better than to fool around with a highschooler..give me a little more credit then that....

Like I was saying this was more of a would you mess with a girl 5 years younger than you question..

I really am not doing this as a serious question but more as a would you do it if you had the chance...

 

There is a HUGE maturity difference between a 23 year old and an 18 year old. I remember how immature I was at 18 (though, I still am, I REALLY was back then).......but that is a big jump. You will soon be focusing on your long-term career goals, buying a house, marriage, etc. etc. while she is going to be in the "college freshmen" mentality of "party, party, party".

If it was me, I probably would not do it. Now, I like to think of myself as a mature, level-headed, responsible young-adult. When I was 18, I was a hot-headed, ******* ***** who only cared who to call to get beer.

 

Id hit it......

 

being alittle further along in years, and hopefully a little wiser becuase of those years. I have seen and expereinced relationships of almost all age and maturity combinations, and the carnage that is usually left behind for those that play with fire without expecting to get burned.

my recommendation, hell yeah, hit it!!! just dont try and fall in love or nothing. have a good time, if she gets on your nerves, go to the bar and leave her.

if **** works out, great, just think, in a couple more years youll be the guy banging the hot 21yr old.

 

It's better to regret something you did vs. didn't do. You said you just met her so you still don't really know her. Move forward bro and see what comes of it. You still have a lot to learn about her. I say giver her a call and see how you feel about her in two weeks. Who knows maybe she's one of them biotches who will give out their # and never pick up when you call or return your calls. Good luck bro.
