I'm turning 19 and the guy I like is 28. I have no idea if he likes me but since he's 28 I don't know if I should even waste my time. One of my best friends is 33 and I've always gotten along with the "older" crowd. I guess you could say I'm mature for my age. I'm just asking seeing as it's a 10 year age difference and some of my friends who are my age say it's a bad idea to begin with. Which I'm not sure I understand. My way of thinking is who cares about age if you are attracted to them as a whole why does it matter... I mean if he were 35 that'd be a different story since my brothers are 35 other than that I have no issue. So, if you are a guy 28 or around that age what is your view on this? Also I'm a virgin which people say apparently change things?
I was 33 when I met my wife when she was 18. We lived together a few years then we broke up. 8 years later we looked each other up and got married. She is now 36 and I am 51, married over ten years.
Is he the "one" you think you would give up your virginity to? If so, he seems to be special enough to you that the age difference shouldnt matter. Just remember though. You are only 19 and things are going to change alot in your life in the next few years.

Rules like this are dumb. All people are different. You never know how stupid a 25-year-old will be, or how engaging and interesting a 20-year-old will be.
That said, the odds of a 28-year-old and 19-year-old lasting are virtually zero... most likely the 28-year-old dude is in it for sex with a pretty young thing, and the 19-year-old is naive and will grow to resent the older guy.
That's just how it works.
Any dude at age 28 who enjoys the company of a 19-year-old at dinner, or on the phone is either mildly retarded or just a conversation masochist willing to endure anything for a roll in the hay with a young lady. 19-year-old girls are, by and large, vapid, annoying, unfunny, and essentially little girls with no sense of the world.
This post makes no sense. First you claim that a 20-year-old could potentially be interesting and engaging, then you claim that a 19-year-old is good for nothing more than sex to an older guy.
Either you just totally contradicted yourself or you think there is an inexplicably huge difference between 19 and 20.
I think there's something wrong and creepy about a guy who's approaching 30 and would still want to date a teenager. [Edited to correct the numbers here:] "Barely 19" means you're really 18. EWWWW!!!!

It's not that big an age difference for your ages, esp if you're more mature than most girls your age. Generally speaking, girls your age are too immature for a guy that age--unless he's very immature, which isn't a long stretch if you've known a lot of guys that age. So, no, it's no big deal but it depends on what you both want out of it.
It is a line that only you can draw. I wouldn't mind dating a guy who is 29. My preference of age is 25-30 and it's not like I will live by it. I'm 22 and as someone who is slightly older than you, I would say just be careful. You may have to use a little logic than feelings on this one.
Ok, I just saw your title and you said barely turning 19. Wow. I would be extremely careful then.
