Hitting on an 18 year old, is it wrong?

I turn 25 in 3 weeks, my dillema:
So, my friend and I were eating at friendly's last night. We had a nice waitress and stuff, So we started up a conversation and the like. Talked about piercings, music, clubs, etc. And so, my friend, who I have known long enough that he sees right through me, tell me to hit on the waitress. He is all like, "dude, it is obvious. she like you, go for it. Stop being a pussy. Go for it." I break down and agree with him, I tell him if she turns out to be 18, I will go for it. So, I just flate out ask ,
"Are you 18?"
" Yeah"
"Cool,. becasue my friend is running a night (blah blah blah, small talk to find out if when she is working etc. He is running an ight btw)
Turns out she doesnt have an Email, AIM name, or cell phone/pager. So, I get her home phone number, and there wasnt any hesitation on her part,
Now, WTF do I do? The girl just graduated HS. Am I evil for actually considering to call her? (pleae note I myself am only mentally about 20 or 21)


Edited to add: I fucking knew I was right. She wasnt into me, Must go kill my friend when I see him.
I got a fake number. This sucks, becasue now iwill be embarressed whenever i go into friendly's

Most girls I know dated guys who were 7 or 8 years older then them. But then again, the girls I know...


What 18 year old doesn't have AIM or at least an email?

Nothing wrong with that at all??

i LOVE older men

Don't ask me, I still try to hit on 17 year olds. I can't help it if I'm still attracted to high school guys, I feel like I haven't really gotten any older since then.

It's technically not illegal but is it wrong? I will vote....no.

Yeah, thats just plain creepy, I say run and never look back

well...there is a generation Gap between 18 and 25..sad to say but it is true...I mean most 18yr olds I know have never seen Good Fellas...I mean FUCK it's Good Fellas!!! the difference in music, movies and life expierence could cause a lot of issues...but hey she could end up being one of those exceptions...good luck....

I'm 32 and still in high school. Let's hang out!

One that dosn't have the internet at home.

I don't see anything wrong with flirting, or even hooking up with her. She's legal, she's old enough to make her own decisions. As long as shes mature enough to be one the same level as you, it should be fine.
The age difference is enough, however, that your friends have the right to mock you for it at any time.

There is nothing wrong. Unless you're asking her to wear school uniform.

I still don't see the problem

I try to make it a point to stay within a 7 year age bracket when I date. From the looks of things, your in it so go for it if your serious about finding out if you 2 click. You'll never know if you don't try.

i heard a rule once, half your age plus 7

I like a 17 year old. So I don't think 18 is bad...

Elijah Mohammed said that...Nation of Islam.

If you're both of the age of consent it's not a legal question...it's a moral question and it's not our morals that you should be worring about...it's yours. Do you feel it's wrong to hit on an 18 year old? If you are comfortable with it and she is comfortable with it...go forth and do your stuff.

The fact that you had to ask the questions shows that you may have some reservations, even if they are only slight.

The fact is, there is no magic switch that is thrown when you turn 18 that makes you emotionally more mature than someone who is 17 years & 364 days old. If this girl is what you are looking for and you are compatible as far as emotional maturity there's no reason to be worried.

I've always liked older guys. Sometimes much older. I wouldn't hesitate for a second if a hot 30-something year old dude asked me out.

no I think it was some guy in high school....

Yeah dude, Elijah Mohammed, Nation of Islam!!

der, it's not exactly as if you're old enough to be her grandfather?!! go for it.

though, i got caught out and snogged (that means kiss americans) a girl who turned out to only be 17 the other week. Women are growing up fast these days!

It's in the Autobiography of Malcolm X....

Go for it.

And the rule of half age plus seven is Chinese in origin,

eh. i'm 27 and the last woman i hooked-up with was 19 (but then again you should've seen the look on her face when i told her!), so i can't lecture.

go for it!
