Was having an interesting convo with my friends the other day and they didn't seem to have a problem with it. I'm indifferent towards the whole thing, I'm on the fence to be honest, not sure if I could do it or not. One of my boys is 26, and he's seeing a 19 year old...she looks mature enough but I'm not sure. She's not old enough to drink.
I see no harm in it. They are of legal age. Maturity escapes many people well into their mid 20s and others mature very early. It all depends on the two people.

That's not much of an age difference at all, I've got no problem with it.
Many times you'll have a less mature 25 year old guy and a very mature 19 year old girl and they'll really hit it off.
30 is the dividing line for me.
In general a 30 year old should not be dating a 19 year old.
My sis started dating her boyfriend at 19 and he was 29. They have been together for 2 years now. He is too old and semi- controlling but its just him. I dont think every guy dating someone younger will be like that. But I am a hypocrite because I dont want any of my friends dating older men.

Why not? They are both of age.
The chance is slim on any relationship being long term anyway. Life is short and a match is difficult. If a younger/older person makes you happy and you both have common interests and chemistry I say go for it!
Obviously it's a question of the mental maturity of both parties.
But having met many 18/19 year olds (and having been one myself), and having met many mid-20 year olds, I think it'd usually be weird. More for the two people involved than anything else. The 25 year old has a job, has to deal with real life stuff... the 18 year old is probably in college and still young mentally.
I think the (Age/2)+7 rule is the best.
