A female , *ts a mom writes:

What do you think of an 18 year old female (just turned 18) drinking and whatever else with a 29 year old male? I know she is of legal age for the dating part, but I still don't approve. I personally think an age gap is okay, when you are older, but not 18 and 29. Any opinions would be appreciated. Also, any suggestions.

Well I am 18, and I've been seeing a guy who is 29 for about 8 months (known him for nearly a year) and we work together and everything, and soon we will be leaving and working somewhere else so we can live together. We've talked about the age gap loads, and it really doesn't matter, cos I guess if you love someone then you don't really think about their age. So my advice is to do what you like if it feels right

Yes age is only a number and im in a relationship myself with a 13yr age gap but im in my 30s.Aslong at that age where she is only 18 and he has respect about what she wants in her life work wise etc as she is only just starting out while at 29 he would be settled or some what settled then thats fine.

*kez* agony auntwell it can sometimes work as my mate has a baby (shes 19) and he is 32. It depends on whether they actually truly love each other. Age is just a number.

Although on the other hand i am only 18 i have been seeing a 31 year old and i also used to go out with a 29 year old and i found that they are on different wavelengnths to me and in the end it was all about sex and in the end they both hurt me so beware what u are gettin yourself into babe xx goodluck

David Lewis agony auntI think that is ok, I am 29 and engaged to a 17 year old female. I don't care what people think. This is MY life, not theirs. If I cared about what everyone thought, I would be a completely different person now.

If they like each other, go for it. Nobody is at fault for one being older. A relationship is about acceptance as much as anything. If the age difference is a problem for one of them, a relationship is not a good idea.
