Is it normal for a 30 year old to want to date an 18 year old girl?

sounds like he`s a little desprete cos of the speed the whole thing is moving, the clock is ticking for him, but at 18 you not seen the world yet so dont rush tings

He's gonna screw you over bad! Just don't get pregnant

Although I've been attacked elsewhere on the board for saying this same thing, me and my lady share a 22 year age difference (21-43) and we both love each other profoundly and share an amazing relationship in every respect. We've been together over a year now, coming up on 1.5 years.

It's the not the ages that matter, it's the people.

The most important comment in your post to me was "I have been living with him for 2 months and I am happy!" I say, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Of course, this doesn't mean that your relationship is guaranteed to work. No relationship is guaranteed to work, regardless of your age. Maybe it will fall apart, maybe it won't, but let time tell the tale.

He sounds like he wants to get you in the sack, and keep you there. Desperate and kind of perverted. He sounds like one of those men who want to snag a young thing and keep her his forever. Don't fall for it, as when you grow older he's just going to search for a new young plaything. And if not, it's still creepy. Find a new man, YOUR age, NOW.

He kinda sounds like a loser. I mean if you're happy then maybe it's a good thing but he is a lot older than you. Honestly I don't think at 18 you have a real grasp of the maturity difference between age 18 and 30.

I'm dating a 35 year old and I'm 23. Were very happy and if you ask me.. Age is nothing but a number

He sounds desperate. Do not move in. Consult your family and slowly get away from him. He does not sound stable.

I'm 30 and there is no way a stable minded, mature adult would want to make a life with an 18 year old for the right reasons. I wish you luck and the strength to see the error of your ways now!

Id be careful, it sort of sounds like he might be getting ready to use you.
Love is love, but just be on your toes.

desperate.

it is obvious why your family would be against it.

the red flags are: 30 and still with parents, past drug problem (doesn't matter that they were prescriptions or not), 30 and still in school with no job, the the biggest: the speed he is moving for you to commit.

Honestly, it seems a little creepy. But your ultimate happiness is what's always important. maybe you should ask yourself if either one of you is using each other. It seems like you're trying to hint at that indirectly. good luch =]

PS - please do not get pregnant.

Good luck. You need it.
