When I was 18, my boyfriend was 23. My mom wasn't thrilled, but there was no problem other than that... I do have to admit, though, I never had sex with that boyfriend. Well, until about seven years later, but that's another story.
Now, I'm 36 and the guy I'm seeing is 30. Not a big deal at all, at least not to me. I've decided age really means nothing once you're an adult. Quick little anecdote: I was single on a trip with my sister in Mexico a few months ago, and I had a flirtation with a very beautiful man over the week we were there. Our ages never entered the conversation, which I realized after the vacation was over. I look back and wonder why. It's always seemed like something people talk about when they're interested in each other, but does it really have to be? I mean, I realize the OP is dealing with legal issues in dating someone so young, but once she's 18, I don't think it matters at all if two people are compatible.
