Jamie L asked:
One of my co-workers whom is 22 is going out with an 18 year old. The reaction I’ve been hearing the most is that she must be desperate or pathetic which is far from the truth. The guy asked her out on a date to the movies and she said yes.

Why not…who are they, the age police!
i dont think that is bad, because i am in my 20′s and i like a 19 year old. im not dating him, but he’s so freakin hot and cool, if he wanted to date i would rock his world. she should do whatever makes her happy, its her life and she’s gotta make the most of it.
At that age, it’s a 50/50 shot. It could be the real thing, or it could be a total flop of mismatched maturity levels.
But I will say that all of the girls I’ve dated have been older than me. I find that I’m too mature for most girls my age.
hmm.
well i think its a little odd, because he would be finishing up highschool and she would be just out of highschool.
but i guess it depends, and when they are both much older it wont really matter.
idk, cause idk them.
why not this is not that much age difference
happiness doesn’t have an age limit or criteria
come on… the age difference is not that huge…to me is okay! i just hope the guy acts maturely already.
Nothing wrong with that.
I think Its cool as long as u play it safe.
What is wrong with it? If she likes him and he likes her, no problem. besides, there will always be people trying to tell you want is right or wrong with you life… you have to decide if you want to be happy or please society.
That is not that bad. I think it would be if she was 30 and he was 18, that cradle robbing.
I don’t think that there’s anything wrong for your co-worker to be dating a “younger” man. Their age difference isn’t that much at all. Besides, they’re BOTH still YOUNG, to the point that really, all that it should be realized by other people is that they’re just going out to hang out, NOT START A FAMILY! lol The only time that a “younger” party in a relationship should be questioned, is if (I beleive) they’re at the age where relationships are not “supposed to be for fun and hanging out anymore”->like if your friend was 30 or something, and if she wanted to start a family w/in the next 5-10yrs, then that’s when it would be considered “questionable”. But even in that case, if the two persons involved love eachother, and both want the same things in their lives and want to combine them together, then that’s their perogitive. (Bobby Brown sings! J/K!!) That’s when the other song “Age Ain’t Nothin’ But a Number”, comes into play.

All in all, nobody should ever be judging a relationship off ages. I know it happens and it does cross peoples’ minds, but it’s really none of anyones business except those two within the relationship.
As for your co-worker, in my opinion, she’s at the age where people just hang out. Yeah the guy asked her on a “date”, but he’s even at that age too. So really, unless people have heard her saying that the next guy who asks her out is gonna be her “babys’ daddy”, the man she’s gonna marry, or should be in it ‘for the long haul” if he wants to have anything to do with her, then people should just let the girl have some f’n fun!!!!!
Take this from a 27yr old girl who’s been in a 9yr relationship that’s still going and I still don’t have a wedding ring on my finger, nor do we live together!!! ……..uh, maybe I should start asking for some advice, eh!!!!???? LOL (……..but not really). I think all us girls are able to handle what we want to handle and handle it the way we want to, and people should be aware of that and let us handle our own business!!!! Ya hear me sista???!!! (LOL
