Being a guy who is 26, I somehow wonder if that is too big of a gap. She is really not too far off from high school, whereas I have been out for a rather long time. I have a class with this girl and she sort of caught my attention.
I know people say age is only a number, but then you see 20 something girls with guys who are old enough to be their dad. Of course, seven years isn't that bad, but that is still a pretty big gap.
Then again, there is this girl who I see on campus who is my age who I also have a crush on. I could always try her instead.

That's just about out of the "half your age plus 7" rule, but it doesn't sound too bad.
That being said...probably not worth it. There is still likely a large gap in maturity there.

Not a great sign that you are calling her a 19 year old girl, rather than woman, but maybe I am nitpicking.
You do need to remember finding common ground might be difficult with the age gap, but you are both adults. Just don't be surprised if she isn't going to see it the same way you do.

Go for it. Who cares what society thinks. You won't get in trouble for it.

I'm working a 25/35 relationship now, I say go for it. 35 divided by 2 = 17.5, plus 7 = 24.5... you're OK. |

My mom was 19 and my dad was almost 26 when they met, and they are still married after 43 years of marriage and being a couple for 44!

That's not normally my cup of tea but my friends and I have done this before without any negative outcomes. It's kinda nice having a girl that you're talking to that isn't 21 so you can go out to the bars with your friends and have some personal space. Plus if it's not too serious and you strike out at the bars you have a safe ride home and nice consolation prize.

Last year, I got out of a long term relationship and the first girl I dated afterwards was 19 (I was 29 at the time.) It was harmless.

I don't see it as a big deal. I know 50 year old guys who've dated 18 year old women. Go for it!

Of course Batman would say this. Not that I don't agree. |

Seven years is no big deal at all. The only issue I'd have if I was you would be that she's not old enough to do certain things (bars, clubs, etc). Otherwise the gap is perfectly normal. Hell, I'm 32 and recently tried to date a 23 year old.

If going to bars and drinking and stuff isnt a big thing then its fine...Shes an adult...If your old enough to legally die for your country I think your old enough to pick who the hell ever you want to be with

Not a big deal. Hell one of my best friends is 19. She just turned that a month ago and I'm 29. Age is only a number. What matters is how she is. People Mature at different places. My friend was way more mature then anybody I ever meet at that age. When we first became true friends I was 28 and she just was turning 18.
Are we dating or a couple? No. But we hang out and stuff like that. I have wanted to try though. and we did talk about it. She just doesn't feel that way about me. Which I respected.

Not a great sign that you are calling her a 19 year old girl, rather than woman, but maybe I am nitpicking. I may sound cynical here, but 19 year old women are few and far between. They may be of legal age, but the maturity level of the average 19 year old these days is still in the high school range. That being said, my fiancee is 26, I'm 37. Go fer it. |
