Actually at 35, 18 year olds tend to think of you as a creepy old guy whos perverted, or they try to hook you up with their mom. *speaks from experiance*
yeah theres a girl at my school whos 16 going out with 21 year old and her parents want them to have a kid...it's fucked up.Honestly, the age thing isn't as big of a deal as you think it is. The cops don't stake out people's bedrooms.
I have a friend, 17 now, who's been going out with a guy who's 22 now for the last two years. Plus I'm legal in a bunch of your hick states anyway.
