    One person being under 21 and the other person being over 21 definitely can play a major factor in just everyday activities. I agree that it is all about maturity, but someone who is eager to grow up too quickly can often have a "freak out" later in life and regret all the decisions they've made in life including the person they are with. This is a tough one.

    When I started dating my current husband (of 3 1/2 years), I was only 19... and he was 47! ;) It's worked out so well because I'm an old soul, and he's a young soul. I appreciate his experience, wisdom, and insight, and he appreciates my energy, fresh perspectives, and youthful exuberance. I wouldn't have it any other way! Of course, that doesn't mean it'll work for everyone. I think it's very important for a young woman to know what she wants before she gets into a relationship with an older man.

    Age isn't important to me. It's all about maturity. My husband is about a little over 3 years older then me. I know that's not a lot, but we have been together for almost 10 years. I met him right before I turned 15 and he had just turned 18 a month before. We've been together ever since! :)

    I would date someone who was 18 as long as we are compatible. I dont see age unless you "act" it! i am attracted to who I am attracted, small large, young old, what does it matter if the person you date makes you happy? I am currently 46, and over the course of my life I have dated many ages, shapes, sizes, colors, professions, political affiliations etc... I can never recall asking a woman her age before I asked her out! my partners have ranged in age from 18 to 50+ and all have been special to me.

    It doesn't suck and I didn't say I looked old. I said generally people think I'm between 21-25. I look young, but I don't look like I'm a teenager. It's not like I have crow's feet...

    Well, I've been out of the dating game for 18 years now... My wife is 6.5 years my junior. I would not have likely dated an 18 year old past about 21 or 22... Just because the life changes that occur at that age. As I got a little older, that datable range widened a little bit to the point that I married my wife when I was 33 and she was 26 (almost 27).. By that point, we were both settled and had pretty much become the people we were most likely to become.

    As a woman who was 18 and had a kid with someone who was 28, As a mother of a 17,18, and 19 year old and as an instructional assistant working in the schools I say absolutely no way should a 30 year old date an 18 year old.... course the law says different.

    I didn't read through all the responses, but felt compelled to respond to you for two reasons...reason 1 is that I LOVE New Girl :). Reason 2 is...I met my husband when I was 19 years old. He was 29 years old. We have been together for 8 1/2 years, married for 3 1/2 years. I think everyone is different and age is just a number...people mature at different rates. My husband and I are total soul mates and couldn't deny our connection. It took us a long time after meeting to start dating because we both wanted to be respectful of our age difference/my parents, but I can't imagine my life any other way. My parents were not on board at first of course, but the second they met him they really embraced him into our family. I will say that I have always been mature for my age, and every situation is different, but I don't think 18 is too young to date someone in their twenties.
