Well eventually right when I really start liking this guy, he reveals his age to me. He is 18 years old and I myself am 21. Ive never seen myself dating a younger guy especially when there is such a sognificantage gap. So my question to you guys, is would it be wrong for me to date him and weird, or is it something I really should pursue? Ive always liked guys older than me so Im really lost! Reply to this Question

It's not about the age gap, it's about the maturity gap. Some older guys may still be too immature for you, and some younger guys may be right up your alley. If you match, you match. Don't push this guy away because of 3 years. If you two enjoy each other's company I don't see why you can't date.

At those ages, the 3-year gap is something to consider and perhaps make allowances for, but I don't see it as a major obstacle - like it is at 18/15.

I don't see any issues why you shouldn't give things a go, unless you can't get over the age difference.

I know it feels more than it is, but that's because everything feels different chronologically in high school and college. After that, you might as well be twins if your age is within 5 years of each other.

 IF you like him and he likes you then go and have fun... if the roles were reversed you wouldn't think twice about dating a guy three years older right? So what's the difference now? I know that folks say that men mature later but this guy may be a good match for where you are... you won't know till you try.
oh and for what it's worth, when I was 21 my fiance was 8
Not that I knew him, nor would I have dated him... Babysat him maybe....
