Is it normal that i like a woman 11 years older than me?

So I'm 18 and I met this lady on myspace. She's a huge fan of the same band I like and we talked a little bit almost everyday. And one day I asked if I could get some friends numbers so I could text with and she gave me hers. We've been texting since and I realized that I really like her and she likes me but she's 29, and now we're planning on meeting later on this year. Is this wrong??

    Legally, no, there's nothing wrong with it. Meet somewhere in public. I know it's supposedly a woman and you're a guy but people are crazy, so play it safe. If it turns out she actually is a chick and you hit it off at first, just don't let your guard down too easily. You probably think it's cool to hang out with an older chick but think about this: The chances are good that there's a reason why a 30-year-old chick is browsing MySpace for barely legal dudes.

    Not to make any assumptions, and maybe she's great and you've met the love of your life and whatnot, but like I said....chances are good that this isn't quite what you think. Just don't invest too many feelings in this until you know exactly what her story is.

    Don't let age ever be a barrier. Besides, 30 and 18 is not such a bad pairing. At work I worked with a 50 year-old secretary (I'm 30) and one day after talking to her I found myself thinking "you know, if she weren't married, I might have asked her out on a date". It didn't happen of course, but you know what I mean. Life is too short to impose boundaries on yourself. Just go for it.

    It's normal for you, but not for her. You have to consider that there is something wrong with a woman who is almost 30 that cannot find a meaningful relationship with a man her age.

    I think there's no issue. I'm 21 and my Girlfriend/Fiancee is in her 50's. though I've never considered myself 100% normal. I just think that there's no problem if you are interested in this woman.

    As long as your 18, which you are, there's no problem. The only thing to worry about is if it turns out that you two get married or something, think ahead, way ahead. She'll be getting sickly and whatnot while you still have a bit of youth left.

    You know I hate people who say age is just a number and stupid shit like that! If age is just a number than its ok for that 40 year old pedophile to date some 9 year old girl. But I digress. If you have a thing for older women that's fine. What is not fine is when people have a thing for underage girls or boys.

    It's not that uncommon. They have annual 'cougar conventions.' Older women are hawt.

    18-29? what's the problem?! What did you make think it's a problem?! At 18 I loved even >40yo women (who nowadays someone calls milf)! Nothing wrong, if you both are happy of it

    I would be careful dude, meeting people in real life that you meet on the web can be risky, but since youre 18 its def legal....

    i think its sweet you like each other just be cautious and remember that a 29 year old doesnt want the same things an 18 year old wants in a relationship. At that age, most women are looking for life long companionship, marriage, kids, a home, etc....and thats not something you will be ready for anytime soon so just take it slow, get to know her, and make sure you are clear on her intentions...

    good luck :)

    Hell yes that's normal. I have ALWAYS been w/ younger men- just worked out that way. and NOT a cougar [implies predatory- they have chased ME].

    1st hubby was 3 yrs younger than me [died], 2nd was nearly 10 yrs younger. Recent BF was nearly 13 yrs younger.

    BUT 18? No, she should befriend you, but not BE with you. You are too close to still being a kid. Unless you are clear that this will be temporary and strictly sexual, not a real thing...
