How young is too young?

I hooked up with this girl when I was in Barcelona last week and she is really cool. She wants to meet up again, which I am all up for. Only thing that is holding me up, is that she is 18.

For those of you around my age (im 24) - would you find it a bit odd 'dating' someone that young?

Please advise.

18 is more than fine, go for it.. i think 18-21 is when most girls are in ther peak... most american girls get fat and look old by the age of 23

As long as the girl is over 18 i dont think it matters...A girl i know who is 18 is going out with a 36 year old thats when it gets a tad odd.

18 is fine imo. Six years really isn't even that big of an gap either.

It depends on how mature she is. I have gone on dates with (slightly) younger girls when the age difference was apparent. If you really get on with her and she is 18+, i dont see a problem.

18 is good to go, in fact, she must have blossomed really nicely by now.

agreeing with antmusic, if shes "on your level" then no problem. i think most people tend to go for girls around their ages due to the fact most younger girls can be a tad immature etc.

6 years aint no thing - but my mindset is that when I hear of 18 year olds going out with 36 year olds....im hoping I have that opportunity when I get to 36...so I might not be the best person to listen too.

Hmmm a twenty year old going out with a sixteen year old is'nt right.
Anyways as long as she is over 18, and theres not that much of an age difference then its fine imo. Can't imagine many people disagreeing with that.

Fine if you are just after a shag and a bit of a fling. But at 18 there is no point having a proper relationship with her.

i was joking in my last post just incase anyone gets the wrong idea. im well not that young.

I disagree with Sol though. everyones different - depends on the person and what kinda 18 year old she is. 6 years aint nothing in my opinion - I know many girls that have boyfriends alot older than them - as with everything it depends on compatability.

I'd agree with that.
