Tell the old guy "I'm too young for you". He gets the message that he's way older, out of your league, you are not interested in older men specifically him, and you dud not provide a phone number. This really should be enough and cool his jets.
LOL, all these guys getting all butt hurt because an 18 yr old girl doesn't want a 40 something man....
Funny stuff I read here.... I've pretty much accepted that if an 18 yr old girl didn't like me that that's pretty much how things in life go... people in general should be a bit closer in age, just to have more in common, does it work when there is a big age difference, yeah, it can.....
It's not personal to me, at least I don't take it personally as some of the guys here have..........
Strangely enough, there is actually a poster on here that met his SO when he was 18 and they have a 20/25 age gap. IIRC, they have been together for 20-30 yrs and happy from what that poster writes.
I don't know if you're trying to convince me to give this guy a chance or what, but no thanks, I'll stick with a 5 year gap. That's what I'm comfortable with.
Lol apparently if I do, I hate old men and I'm a narcissist. I've tried to be nice and polite and it hasn't worked to my advantage. I will never be outright mean, but I don't think I'm wrong for being uncomfortable by it.
You don't have to justify yourself to anyone. If a polite "no thanks" doesn't faze them then being mean is what you get left with as the default. You're very young, you have to look after yourself because there are a lot of people out there who like to take advantage of your naivety. Us old bags know how to be cutthroat and nasty when we need to be

I think you feel like that because you aren't a dirty old pervert who would take advantage of, essentially, a kid.
No offense Ashley, I was once an 18 year old and I understand where you are coming from.
I don't think older men pick up younger girls to mentor them. I mean, I don't think he would've bothered with me beyond sex, to be quite honest. At that age, who has time to be raising their sex buddy?
They don't, it's to have a partner to control. The men I dated who were older were all control freaks. They sought out much younger women for this reason to "mold" them. I was young and naive and looked at an older guy as someone who could treat me better than younger guys because younger guys didn't have money. They sought me out because I was young and inexperienced and once I started maturing and becoming mature (meaning wouldn't tolerate it)the one dumped me, but I was ready to move on. He's still seeking much younger and complains on a dating site why at 55 he can't find women in their 20's. He's successful btw. My boyfriend is 9 years older but we didn't meet with the idea of dating, and besides he is immature. He also didn't seek out younger women, we found we have lots in common. I consider 9 years an age gap though.
She's 18. She's learning to deal with situations maturely. I'd say that's quite appropriate for her stage in life.
Meh I have a14 year old daughter that already knows how to deal with these situations.
She knows how to politely but firmly tell people No. She also knows how to appropriately escalate a situation if somebody violates that.
I've also taught her to treat others how she wishes to be treated.
These are not hard concepts that should be learned as an adult, honestly this is the reaction I'd expect a pre or early teen to have.
