What age is too young to date?

1. No, It’s Perfect

2. If that’s what you want, go for it. That’s your choice.

3. 25 and up

4. I’m a F in my 20’s. I usually date older, but I haven’t tried dating anyone 18 or 19. If I was 32F, I personally don’t know if I could date anyone younger than maybe 25. That’s just me. BUT if I really had a connection with them and felt that not dating them was going against a connection we had, then I’d consider getting to know them more and dating could be on the table.

5. half your age + 7 is a common rule. in your case 23+

6. Date whatever consenting adult you want. But, I don’t see an 18 year old wanting much more than a casual bang.

7. I mean I’m 35 and I have dated guys that are like 23. I don’t worry about age at all. I just hang out and date and date who I get along with. If we have a great connection age doesn’t matter.

8. I probably wouldn’t go for anyone under 21 at that age. I would specifically aim for people who are 21 either. At least you know they can drink and have been on their own for a few years. You don’t want to feel like you’re dating a child. It’s all really arbitrary though. If you somehow fell for someone younger but still an adult, it’s really between you and them.

9. Above 25

10. Honestly in 18-19 years I will probably be sleeping with girls born today.

11. The question is, what are you looking for a potential date? If the qualifation is young but legal, then 18 is fine. If you just want to have fun, then 18 is okay.

    But if you want someone who is financially stable, has reliable transportation, has their own place, is settled in their career, knows how to communicate in a relationship, is ready to settle down, etc then then the college set is probably not it.

    You also have to be confident to date an 18 year old. Society will judge you, which is why I presume you asked this question. If you fear judgment, an 18 year old isn’t for you.

12. lol ask this as a man and you’ll get burned to the ground by reddit

13. There’s a formula for that, take your age, divide it by 2 and add 7

14. Why would you go for a guy who is that young lol

    The youngest I’ve dated is 4 years and it was a huge mistake. Younger guys in general are more immature (not that some older ones are very mature).

    If I was 32f I would go for males 30 to 40. I am 27 now and I date guys between 27 and 35.
