I see this in college often. Is it cool for a 23 year old college student to date and 18 year old college student?

Why wouldnt it be? Seems like a very small age difference for most people.

If they both like each other, I don't see why not. I used to date a 26 year old when I was 18.

when i first saw this i was thinking the 23 year old would be a year or two out of college in which case it would definitely be weird (different places in life and all that), but if they're both in college its probably fine.

I think it depends on the 18-year old, or both individuals involved, as to maturity and so forth.

I don't think that's a big age difference. If the 18 year old were still in high school that would be different.

When I was 18 my boyfriend was 29. Not my best idea, but there wasn't much difference maturity wise.

A 23 yr old woman dating an 18 yr old male sounds a little pitiful. The other way around, sounds about right to me.

At first when I saw the post, I was wondering why there would be a question..it sounds fine to me..and then I got to thinking..Are YOU one of these people (18 or 23 year old) and maybe a parent is having a hard time? Didn't know if maybe that was the reason you asked to see if other people differed from what maybe a parent said. I think the age difference is fine. I don't see that much if a difference since they are both in college. If one was in high school then that might be more of a challenge.

Why would you think that is? Just curious because you seem to think it's okay one way, but not the other way around.
