Spring and winter relationships have been known to succeed but socienty as a rule usually looks down on them. No one can say anything about your specific relationship.

It could. (I just thought I should add a positive comment, because I think all things should be looked at neutrally.) Just be happy now and see what becomes of it.

I actually know of a couple who are 30 years apart and yet are happily married and have 2 grown children. So it can definitely work! It all depends on the two of you.

If she loves you, may be but with age difference I dont think so.

I hope she likes you for the right reasons and isn't looking for a father figure. If she has a good head on her shoulders and is more mature, then yes it could work. Only time will tell. Who can really say what is right for two people except themselves.

For a few years and then she will want to be with someone younger, unless you are financially set and then she will stay and see them behind your back. Face reality, money talks.

If that was your daughter would you be happy she was with a 45 year old? I'm extremely skeptical that it'll work in the long run. There's always a chance that it can work, it just takes the right people. But if I were to bet, I'd bet it fails. She's 18! so what's next in her life? College? Starting a career? People often change a lot between the ages of 18 and 25. That's the real transition into adulthood. She'll need people her own age that she relates to better. I'd give her maybe a 10% chance of staying faithful to you...

if you guys are happy, good. Whatch out for the father.

And apparently, you are less mature than your years. I'd go with no, but have fun in the meantime.

Dude, go out with someone even remotely close to your age. I would consider you a child molester. 18 is still a kid.

Holy sh!t, I am almost at a loss for words however, I will do my best. SHE IT BEARLY LEGAL... You need to go out with someone closer to your age, and you could easily be her dad... I can’t help but think that you are totally taking advantage of her.

probably not, but you never know. I mean you guys are so far apart. think how different you were even ten years ago, thats how differnt you are. But it can if you treat it how it is and realize the differances and factor them in. It'll be work if you want it to last, but if you are just wanting to have fun then have fun. But in my experiance, the bigger the differances, the harder the work.

i am curious, what does a 45 year old man have in common with an 18 year old girl (aside from sexual attraction)?

Enjoy it while you can.

Yes why not.

Erm. You never know, I suppose.

just my opinion for what it's worht but what does a 45 yr old man and an 18 yr old girl have in common? I would think for you it's sexual and for her its about money/security/father figure....maybe not but I would never think a relationship like that would last nor would it have anything in it that would endure..what is gonna come of it when she turns 28 and you are 55? how about 38 and 65? More than likely when she gets older she will leave for someone her own age. If I were you I would invest in a relationship that would foster a love that you can grow old with and will grow old with you...things like this are not meant to last. lastly she might act more mature than her age but nothing in the world can make up for wisdom and life experience that comes with age which she cannot possibly have. I'm sure it's great to have a chance to sleep with an 18 yr old girl again and recapture some of that youth but in the end it would never work in my opinion..unless the relationship is built on stability and cah for her and a young girlfriend for you.

She is gonna get tired of your snoring and "old man" body quick.

To each their own. I would suggest that both of you rethink the ground rules. But, after all is said and done, if it works for you, it really doesn't matter what I, or anyone else, says or thinks. I prefer women who remember at least the same President's that I do.

I would recommend someone a little closer to your own age. After just getting out of high school, no one knows what they want. In college, students change their major an average of 3 times. I am 24, I have a steady, well paid job, and I own a home (that I paid for.. not from anyone else). I couldn't tell you where I see myself 2 years from now. Do I seem older than 24? Most 24 year olds are just out of college living with mommy and daddy). I am betting she is the same way. You are probably the "safe" bet for now and she is going with it because you can purchase things for her and make her feel special. I am thinking this is a chance for some hurt down the road, for yourself. Just a fun fact: When you were 27 she was born.

you have issues!! she is a child no matter what you think!! its a disgrace... you are harming her emotionally...she should be with someone she can actually relate too and have things in common with. You are being unfair too her!! if anything she only sees you as a father and protective figure in her life.She deserves to have a young vivacious girls life with someone that truly loves her and is closer to her age. SHAME ON YOU

Oh my God. Please just let her grow up a bit more. You are taking advantage.

you are wayyy gross seriously let her be she is sooo young. im only a year older and i have been told how i act older due to my full time job and taking care of myself. but i know i need to do more growing up and so doesnt she. your just a faze i went through it tooo dont get to attached she will leave you

whoa thats a big age difference dont you think you too old for her,, maybe she looks at you like her father figure, I am sorry .. but I dint think this is right... I wouldnt like my daughter dating 20 year older man ...

Probably not. My sister dated a guy your age when she was about 21 and it did not end well for them. The age difference was just to much.

It may work for awhile.. Will it work way down the road? hard to say. When she is 50, you'd be pushing 80. Frankly, it sounds like she's looking for a dad, not a partner.

Well it all depends on both of you guys, Im going out with a guy who is 46 and i am 22...I started datin him on 2007 when he was 44 and i was 20..so we've been together for almost two years! And our relationship is growing stronger and stronger! We love each other so much! So all relationships work differently just have good communication with ur partner etcc...I dont think a relationship will work bcuz of the 'age' ...couples that their age difference is not a lot they dont work and they have problems so i dont think age difference matters at all when your with some one, every relationship is different like i mention. So i would concider myself a good example that it WORKS!... Good LUck!!

Since you asked the question, you must be having doubts. Yes? No? In my opinion, I can't imgaine it working but who am I to say? It's just that "seniors" are now classified as those of age 55 which means just 10 years away. What will a 28 year old have in common with a senior? I'm not being rude, just trying to think of an answer! My husband is 45 and my niece is a mature 18. I can't imagine him wanting to spend time with her.

Fraid not. She will get tired of you sooner or later, no doubt. She will move on without even a thought about you. Not trying to be harsh but that is the truth. Sorry! :(

i hope she has her stuff together...and i doubt it that is all because a relationship can get in the way of that.. i would like an older guy because they are more mature but then again they know exactaly how the game is played... so since you are asking it means you are unsure therefore im gonna say its not gonna work... but hey the best thing to keep in mind is faith if you are willing to work on it..

Fact from fiction, truth from diction. Why would it fail? If you think it will live or die solely on how close in age you are to your chosen mate, look at who is divorcing? I would be my dollars to anyone's donuts 80% or more axing their marriage are within 7 years or less of their mate. So to try to use that silly formula that is going around as benchmark of success or failure is about as logical as trying to make food the “lite” variety by pumping them with air. Many people try to dissuade people like you and I out of relations where one is more than 12 years older or younger because THEY are uncomfortable seeing it. Ever since the early 70s there as been an indoctrination of society that anytime an older man, especially one old enough to maybe have father the girl of his interest, it has to be for some sinister reason. Society is stuck, in large, in some pediphobe mode. There can't possibly be any love or connection there. He just wants her body and to control her, she is just after his money or looking for a daddy figure. If it don't work it will be off differences you could not work out that had NOTHING to do with your ages. If age does become the issue it would only be because one, or both of you were unable to thicken up against the hater and their attacks and allow it to drive a wedge between you.
