Enjoy.

good luck..

Age is only a number hon. If you truly love each other and can handle the difference in age then go for it.

GO FOR IT!

Rock his world, cougar.

this isnt a question but comments umm... honestly i think its cool and i hope things work out but im like 99.9% positive that it wont last as a serious relationship

You should be arrested

Lucky him.

Nope. man or woman, I wouldn't support it as a parent.

Ahhhh. Thanks. I expected more negative comments. It's been 5 months and what started out as fun flirting... then an intense attraction... has now developed into something genuine. We agreed to take it one day at a time.. no expectations... just love what it is today and don't worry about tomorrow. I thinks it works cuz that's what fits best into each of our lifestyles right now. He told me he loved me last night and as strange as it seems, I am in love with him. We both know the odds are low but heck, I'd rather love for a little while then not love at all :)

Its your business and no one elses if you are both happy then good luck to you both.

shut the fuck up! For reals? that's crazy young. soooooo he can be your son. Is that not weird for him?

I'm sorry, maybe not the PC thing to say, but its just not right. Hes gonna move on, your gonna get hurt :-( Just my opinion, you may not like me for it...but hey..you asked :-)

I think love is a wonderful thing, no matter where you find it. My best wishes go out to you. And by the way, I have grandsons near his age, and I would say the same thing to them.

Cradle robber. Just kidding. My husband is 46 and I'm 23 and I don't see what's so wrong with it. Much more difference and I'd be worried though.

get a grip woman - its almost paedophillia - if he was a son of mine, id lock him in his room, with all his posters of famous footballers on his wall, and throw away the key

If it works for you, all the power to you. And I do see how it could happen.

I have mixed feelings. On one hand, you are taking advantage of a young man. He is just coming into the world, and you are more experienced in the world. Though, why are you attracted to him? Is it due to his looks? Does his youth seem contagious to you? Is it the fact that young men love to have sex? Will you still love him when you are 50 or 60 and he becomes a full fledge man? Then comes the parental viewpoint. You are old enough to be his mother. Maybe the kind of love you feel for him is more maternal but you are misconstruing it as romantic love? Do you have children of your own? If yes, then how do they feel about it? How would you feel about it if he was your child? Would you be concerned that the older person is just using them for sexual pleasure? Or, on the other hand. Maybe he is taking advantage of you. It does happen, 18 year olds can be real jerks at times. He could use your loneliness against you (for me to date someone so much younger, you got to be lonely). Maybe he is dating you for the sake of telling his friends that he sleeps with a mature woman who is good looking. Or maybe, if you buy him things he wants, is using you for money. Or maybe, he hasn't dated much and he felt real feelings for you because you actually payed him attention. Though, what happens if he finds someone younger? You know that the day to day thing isn't satisfying enough, otherwise you wouldn't consider yourselves in a relationship. You know that you will feel hurt should he find someone else closer to his age. If he really does love you, then if you found someone else he will be hurt. Plus, what are you going to do when you die? Leave him at such a younger age difference to suffer the loss? And odds are close by his parents will die too? You want that kind of suffering to fall upon him? Though, then I have the bright side. Maybe you both really just feel that on a personality level, you enjoy each other's company and age has nothing to do with it. You both love each other with no real thought of the gains you get from each other. I know that love has no number. A friend of mine has a sister that dates older men. If that is what makes you both happy then go for it. Though, I would wonder why someone of such an age difference wanted me. I really hope that things work out for the both of you.

Okay.. I don't think my last comment posted. I WANNA SAY THANK YOU to everyone who commented. It's interesting to hear the different opinions. I never would have understood how something like this could happen until.. suddenly I was in it. One can't explain it. I am interested to know how many of you negative commentors would answer the same way or differently had I been the OLDER MALE and he the YOUNGER FEMALE.

This sounds like the new crime drama I'm about to pitch She's 40, he's 18...they're professional jewel thieves! Robbing the rich and robbing the cradle, It's "Venus and the Kid" Mondays this fall.

3 letters WTF!

All I can say is...no. You could be his mother! I'm 18 and I prefer guys a bit older because guys my age are so immature to me! You'll also end up getting hurt. There's nothing wrong in dating younger/older guys, but remember the experience you have and he doesn't. There's too much of a gap here in my opinion.

Uhh..

Yo!... You go girl!

If you don't try to take advantage of him in any way, go for it. Age really only matters when one person of the two tries to manipulate the other.

So,what?

Man Way too YOUNG girl. You could be his mother I would totally not go for that.

you are in your prime of life. go for the gusto. he probably has it to give.

He is having the BEST time of his life!

you must be super hot!!!

More power to you, if you can find love without using Age discrimination then i guess you guys are good.

My friend is 24 her bf is in his 50's. She has a "Daddy complex" it is a real problem. His kids are almost the same age she is but older. It's strange, but if it works for you whatever floats your boat. I would be careful though, if you want a serious relationship this probably won't be it. Do you think he is going to wanting to be pushing around his gf in a wheel chair when he is still young? Just do your research and don't get in too deep. Be careful and good luck!;-}

Not my style but it's legal so do what you want.

Im 31 and could not see myself with an 18 year old but to each his/her own. If it makes you feel good..do it and dont worry about what anyone else thinks.

i think it's a huge age gap and has the potential to cause a bunch of problems.....right or wrong~

Its kinda bad because no 40 year old with a right mind would see themselves with an 18 year old. What is wrong with people your own age. They are more mature and I think since this dude is only 18 he isnt going to want to settle for anything.

I wonder how the answers would differ if it was the other way about, if he was 40 and you were only 18. That might be interesting... Anyway, ah - you're both adults. Whatever you want to do, it's alright by me. I would have a problem going out with somebody old enough to be my dad. But whatever makes you happy :)

I'm sorry but I think that is kind of weird. I know love can mess with your head but this is taking it a little far, you both should find someone closer to your ages.

Way to go, girlfriend)))) We better get everything out of this life!))))

r u retarded u r old enough 2 b his mother god damn break it off everyone nos u r just tryin 2 act young stop living in the past and get a boyfriend ur own age so just get a grip

I wouldnt do this but its Your life if you love him then go for it

Maybe he has a fetish for older women or you have a fetish for younger men, or both? Either way, if you both like it then who cares what people think. Technically you are both adults anyways.

If you're both happy and capable of making such a decision, go for it.
