We are always texting each other on our cell phones and when i'm not with him, i think about him constantly... There's one little problem.. I'm 17 going on 18 and hes 26. I'm hearing from many people that age is just a number and it doesn't matter. Then i'm hearing from others that its not a good idea. Hes one of those people that i can't help but smile at. Hes just amazing! what should i do!

The reason you are geting mixed answers is because in some instances it DOES work and in others it just DOES NOT. Its up to you to find out for yourself if you and this guy can over come the age gap.
Some people can and thats great but obviously like anything, it doesn't always work. I say give it a shot. You have somethign to gain, but if you don't try you only stand to loose.

It sounds like the both of you have something really good going together and i would go for it.
I am in a similar sort of situation at work with a girl, where there is a ten year age gap between us, im 30 and she is 20. And we flirt all the time, and i think about her constantly.
If you love someone age does not mean anything, as your friends say it is just a number.
My advice would be to keep the flirting going, and let it just happen naturally.
All the very best of luck.

 Firstly, it doesn't matter what other people think, it's up to you because you're the one whos might feel uncomfortable with the age gap. Also, have you confronted him about how he feels? Is he bothered about how old you are? If he is then maybe things won't work out, if not, then go for it! But make sure you have similar interests and know that you get along well before jumping into a relationship, don't start going out just because you fancy one another. Get to know him a bit first.
But I agree with rhythmn and blues- what about the issue of the office relationship? Is that a no-no in ur workplace? What happens if u split up? You dont want to end up losing your job just because of a guy.

With all that is at stake, you may want to give it more time, get to really know him well before you risk a romance that could just end up being an office fling.
As far as the age gap goes, I think he may be a little too mature for you, or may not have similar interests, but who knows, you'll just have to get to know him.

 I would go for it. Age isn't everything. If he is a good person and likes you for you it sounds good. Do you have a good feeling about the situation because you know him best? If so go for it. People go you have talked to have had situations and experiences and depending how that went that is what they tell you. Compatable people should be together. Good luck.
