Is it normal for a 21 year old to date an 18 year old?

97% Normal

I've always told myself that I would never date someone that's in high school. But this girl i've been friends with for a couple years just let me know that she's attracted to me. And not for shallow 18yr old reasons. She's very mature for her age. I would love to get to know her better and possibly date in the future. Is this normal or is this too big of a gap?

    Have you ever seen those buxom blonde cuddling up to those oil tycoons in pijamas and a pipe in their hands? They're so old the can barely speak? Well you my friend are worse than them. Disgusting...

    Lol, just kidding - no, you're perfectly fine. It's only when you start going for girls more than 6 or 7 years your junior that you should worry.

    Hell no. Three years is pretty damn normal. If she is mature enough to handle a relationship with someone a few years older then it is fine. A three year gap is not bad at all when your that age.

    Half your age + 7 so you're fine

    Yeah.... That's one of the most normal things ever. Most couples aren't the same age. It matters less and less the older you become, and for 18, 21 is fine. Hell, 22 would even be ok. My fiance is 6 years older than me.

    Three year differential is quite notmal - yes... Don't let that opening remark from Murasaki "throw" you.. Maybe he's had too many refusuals about everything..
    In facg, that threre years difference, is ideal.. You are both of majority age and with you being the more aged, that is a perfect situation...
    Mt wife and I met EONS ago, and there was three years diference... Same situation... Except three years less when we met - 18 - 15 and we married three years later, and we're still married after a ton of years years same wife, same husband...
    So you're fine and dandy with the situation you're in..
    Oh... and in f.y.i. I'm also a crossdress, so how does that work out...? Just fine and dandy, thank you...

    You're both adults and the age gap isn't exactly a generation. Go for it.

    Do it while you can because it might be the last chance you have with an 18 yr old.
