Is it normal for a 26 year old to date an 18 year old?

So, I still hang out with a lot of people who are in college and I meet a lot of girls who are in the 18-23 year old range. Basically I want to know if it's okay to date an 18 year old when I am 26 or am I a creep? To me age does not matter. Obeying the laws and having good morals seems to be the most important thing.

    Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter. --mark twain

    As long as she's 18 and she isn't too immature for you, then I don't see a problem at all. My husband is 10 years older than me and it's never been an issue. It's been great and we get along more than great! Don't stress about it.

    At least go for girls in their twenties. I have a friend that is with a guy that is 20 years older than her. Aside from the obvious, think about how other peoples opinions will change. No matter how you act, people will call you creepy and her a few less nice names. Just don't do it, for her sake.

    I'm 18 and I'm with a guy almost 40 years of age.

    If it's right for whatever reason, just go for it. You seem to have your head screwed on correctly so go ahead :)

    It might be a little uncommon, but it's totally normal!

    Nothing illegal or immoral. Just imagine, though, how much you have changed since you were 18. Sorry to say, but it is unlikely to last in the long-term because of the drastic changes that occur within that gap if age.

    I was 19 girl dating a 26 year old and it was amazing. He was smart, funny and sweet...all in different ways compared to guys my age. Unfortunetley we broke it off, but it was one of the best relationships I've had, I learned a lot from him.

    I don't see anything wrong with this. I went on a date with a 22 year old and I am I am 32 I hardly think this makes me a creep. We had a great time. Besides she was way more mature that some 30 year olds I have been with. She appreciated my experience in the bedroom later on and we had a lot of fun. Not sure what direction it is going in but we never consider our age a problem. I would date a girl younger than 22 as well. Just like some girls like older guys younger women turn me on. Do what you feel is right. As long as you are good to each other then there is no problems. Be respectful of her parents if she is living at home yet and things should be cool. Good luck!

    Its not a big gap in age, but if i was her parent, i would question it.

    I don't think the age gap matters per se but in this case ou are a man dating just-barely-not-girls. I think it's too much.

    I dont think age really matters at all. I am several years younger than my significant other (more than 18 & 26!). Some people react to it poorly or say negative things, but we are happy with each other and the way we choose to live. It's really nobodies business anyway!
