Ew! (No offense.) I agree that 18 and 28 are usually just way too different. Also, I would probably never fix my daughter (who is 18) up with anyone, and definitely never with a coworker of mine.
I'm currently 28 and I have a co-worker that is trying to set me up with her daughter that is 18 and just graduated high school. At first I thought she was joking but no, she isn't. She says her daughter is interested.
It may or may not work. It all depends on each individual. I can only give you my own personal experience. I met my husband when I was 19, and he was 31.. 11 Years later......married for 8 and counting and we were blessed with a wonderful little 3 year old.
The big age gap comes with HUGE responsibilities because you (being older in the relationship and much more mature) would have to face the fact that she will change.

I already told the co-worker that I wasn't interested because first, she's too young and second, I don't want to mix business and pleasure. What could we possibly have in common? We are in different places in life. I'm working and she's about to start college. I really want someone between the ages of 24-30.
I wouldn't think a mother would want her 18 year daughter dating someone that much older than them. I mean she is 18 and an adult now but I just found it awkward. Opinions from mothers and everyone else welcome.
I was that young girl who dated a guy 10 years my senior. Did it work out? No-just like you would expect it not to. I was still wet behind the ears-so to speak. As mature as I THOUGHT I was (which I really wasn't), I was not experienced. I had a lot more life lessons to learn before it could have really worked.
So now I am married to someone who is 17 years my senior. Yeah, I always had a thing for older guys. However, when I started dating my husband, I was in my 30s and had already been married.

I don't think 10 yrs is too much of an age difference, if we're talking about, oh, 38 and 48. There, both are adults, working, presumably have paid rent, etc.
But 18 and 28? Yikes. The 18 year old has barely graduated high school and learned to drive. She's not a grown-up yet.

I defiantly think it depends on when the age gap appears in time in regards to it being able to work out or not.
