I am 36 so the girl I am dating is 18 but she'll be turning 19 in a month so I am not quite double her age. We get along great and everything's going well. My male co-workers give me high fives while the female co-workers think I am having a midlife crisis. She lives with her folks and I still haven't met them. I am avoiding meeting them. I can only imagine what they think of me. Can this type of relationship last? Or is it doomed to failure?

Do this girl a favour and find someone your own age...unless of course no one your own age will have you. In which case maybe you need therapy....and you should still leave this TEENAGE girl alone.

I'm 20, and I like a man who is 32. We met when I was 17, and have still remained friends and more, for these past years. I don't think many people understand that age is nothing but a number, and there are mature "kids" out there; like I was when I met this man. Of course if you're with her for the sex, or if she's with you for the money, or if you're holding her back from living her (young) life, then you have a problem. Otherwise go for it, if both parties are interested, which they seem like they are. Additionally, I wouldn't meet the parents just yet, they will never understand, unless they're extremely open-minded...and you don't mention how long you've known her?

what the hell could a 36 year old man have in common with an 18 year old girl?? Yup, sounds like your head's not on straight.

Sorry to be a skeptic here, but you have to realize once the new relationship sex ends so does the whole kit and caboodle. What could you possibly have to talk about?

Last year I dated a girl 30 years younger than me (yep that's right 30 years younger) & I tell you from experience it won't work,I was just too desperate & lonely, different life experience's is just one thing why these relationships fail, we need people to date/love/marry etc our own age, maybe about 10 years difference but that's all. Just something to think about.

I think you should get some counseling. Don't go after the poor young ones who don't know anybetter. A lady your age doesn't want to be with you for a reason so work on your issues from childhood before it's too late.

Yeah age is just a number, that shows how old you are.
Bud, you're old enough to be her dad. Think of it this way, would you want your teenage daughter dating a man twice her age?

Dude! Another big high 5!! Rock it for as long as it lasts (which won't be for much longer, but hey, who cares).

i was an 18 year old girl dating a 36 year old a few years back and i wish we had given each other a better chance. we were only together for 9 months and then we gave into the pressure from our families to break up. but we were so happy.
if you make each other happy then keep it up. who knows how long it will last but you can at least have a good time. don't let other people make the decision for you.

Are you sure her Parents are still together? cause it sounds like she has Daddy issues.

You must be a little insecure about it if you've had to post an anonymous confession. Maybe you should listen to that gut feeling...

i think it's just as dumb to discriminate by age as it would be by race, religion, height, weight, etc. U each r bringing each other happiness. That's all that matters. And relationships with people who are close to our own age aren't guaranteed to last either.

Out of all the 36 yr. old men I have met, only about half of them are the appropriate level of emotional maturity for their age. Honestly, It doesn't surprise me at all that this one actually finds himself enamored with a high school grad.

Ewww - I'm sorry, but whenever I see guys your age going after girls that young I just have to wonder what's going on that the guy feels the need to go after someone young enough to be his daughter. She is at a stage of her life that is completely different from where you are and hasn't had a chance to build up the life experience you have. This has disaster written all over it.
