    This will be the real issue. There is nothing wrong in theory; what you might see is conflict of interests. The younger person is still finding themselves, on average. Even older people change in life and they can grow apart, but the problem can be a bit more troublesome if the younger doesn't have a solid head on their shoulders.

    It can still work despite all this. But at 19, the life experience is rarely there. The soul searching is rarely completed.

    The best thing the older person can do, is be empathetic. Think back to that age, how they felt, how they acted, what they liked to do (or think of others in their life that were similar to how the younger in the romance thinks). Know they have a lot to go through, and be supportive, understanding, and don't be a parent figure. They have to make some mistakes to learn, and if you become too parent-y, you will push them away.

    There is a huge difference in mentality between a 19 year old and a 25 year old usually. But these things work. I know a few couples that were 10 years apart and they worked out well. I've known some that were together a long time and it became an issue later on, but only because of lack of communication on both sides.

    If you have a strong foundation and you work on understanding each other and keep the lines of communication open and listen, talk, and work through stuff ... well that is how any relationship succeeds, no matter the ages of the people in the commitment.

    Actually, although most people say in this thread "There's nothign wrong with it" you get much different advice when you do something like this in real life. I was 22 when I first got married to a 19 year old and I got so much pressure from my family when we were dating because "it never works out when you get together that young" and "a 19 year old cannot possibly be ready for that kind of comittment." I personally do not see the logic in these statements. We're going to break up eventually so we should break up now? Why not give it all you've got and hope that it lasts, the same as you do with any relationship?

    We did eventually break up after 6 years. But I'm just saying you would be surprised the things people will say to you if you are actually seriously involved as/with a young person.

    Nothing wrong with it, but there is something wrong when you have to ask the MMO Champ forums about this.

    Judging from the question asked in the post, I think you'll be better suited with a 12 year old, brain wise.

    Some 19 year old girls will go out with guys in their 40's if they have tons of money, of course not all women would.

    Both are consenting adults. Nothing wrong with it. My in-laws are 12 years apart (it is kinda weird though since they are completely different generations, but it works for them). As long as you're both mature about it, there's nothing wrong. Her parents mught be weird about it, but all yo have to do is show you're not a creeper.
