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.

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 think you hit the nail right on the head when you said "We are in different places in life". Usually I find when you have these large age gaps the older person is often on the same maturity level as the younger person.

You need opinions about a date you aren't interested in and aren't going on? Okay.

Is she your only option or why are you even considering it?

She must be hot if the OP is considering it.

You picked the right answer. Stick with it. Though in exceptional cases it could work. It really depends on the individuals involved, but as a general rule, it wouldn't work.
