Is 18 and 34 too much of an age gap??

So many trained psychiatrists here. A 34 year old dating an 18 year old is not an absolute of anything. They could be predatory, they could be abusive, they could be stunted emotionally or intellectually, or any other numbers of potentially bad setups to relationships.

OR

They could simply not have a dating pool of people around their age that's interesting. Maybe the people they've met are boring. We're talking about 34 year olds this is the stage where most people are in family creation mode. What if that person doesn't want kids and everyone they meet either has or will want kids in the near future? Or what if that person doesn't want to get married but the persons they've met definitely do and most likely sooner rather than later? What if this person wants to do exciting things on the weekends instead of sitting home watching t.v. and the people they've met don't? There are so many variables here.

Bottom line you've got to decide. Get to know them (or not if you don't want to that solves all this issue), find out if this is a habitual thing they do or if this was just random interest. Did they approach you because they knew/expected you were 18 or did they approach you and then find out you were 18.
