My mom is trying to hook me up with an 18 year old

You should probably try to impress her with your lumberjack skills

More concerned about the ex-boyfriend(s) than the age. 7 years is nothing.

I don't know. In terms of maturity and life experience 7 years between 35 and 42 years old isn't huge. On the other hand, 7 years between 18 and 25 years old is pretty big. Perhaps she's mature for her age, it might be awkward.

Right, but that's kind of a different concern than whether such a relationship would be "pervy."

What makes a relationship pervy? Assuming adults, can age difference alone make a relationship pervy?

Oh yeah.

Anyway, you're young. Go for it. If it's a horrible experience please post about it on GRB so we can laugh at your misfortune.

I think I was kind of a selfish jerk up until my mid or maybe late twenties. I had this whole self pitying narrative about high school (woe is me, girls like jerks, etc...), and it wasn't until my 30s that I looked back at it honestly and realized how clueless and self involved I was.

Best use of a chainsaw in a music video ever.

I saw those guys live once. So loud.

I am in my 50's and still clueless. So does that mean I get to date 18 year olds?

See - that's just creepy typing it.

I don't think age is a huge issue, however, what happens if it doesn't workout? How will your mom respond?

Enjoy not going to bars. Or maybe you know bartenders/bars that won't care?
