If you were my daughter or granddaughter, I would advise you NOT to ask the world wide web who you should date. In fact, I'd be extremely concerned for you because there's too much of a chance someone might take advantage of your youth. I suggest you ask your parents, grandparents, family guardians, pastor and/or counselor.
people like putting their nose where it doesn't belong hm...
Come on now, godsslife, you herald your business out on the web and then complain that someone gave a candid, blunt response?

i dont need to focus on ''school'' but thank you for that i guess.. everyone has their right to make their own choice specially when im almost 18 in 5 or 4 months .. I'm not gonna say I know it all i have much to learn but i think your advice is not original
18 doesn't magically make anyone "ready" for anything if s/he isn't actually mature enough to handle it. Same could be said for any age. Doesn't matter if one is turning 18 or 98.

Hardly!!! It is normal for a woman of your age to want a man older as a 25 year old is equal to a 17 year mentally in many ways. Remember they mature at a different rate. When I was in High School I dated all guys in College and now that I am older I date younger as they are more adventurous and can have fun with me. It's all good!!! Be Blessed!
I don't know. This strikes me as terrible advice. It's much easier to get into all kinds of sexcapades when you're still a teenage girl and you're dating a guy in their mid-20s. It disturbs me greatly.

Perhaps particularly in the case at hand...

And, of course, the most irrational/crazy/wild/risky advise will be that which the more immature minor will take.

There is, here, sound advice, but when do young people get to make up their own minds about life?

We know God contends that young people should listen to their parents, for this pleases God, so what does your parents say?. But even then He gives way to the will He has chosen to have power in youth, as He displays His will for youth to be happy, and celebrate all of the goodness of youth while you are young. Cultivate a cheerful heart every day you have youth. Go where your heart takes you. Take in the sights. Enjoy, but remember that God will hold us accountable for all that we do. When all is said and done, clear your mind of all worries. Free your body of all its troubles while you can, for youth and the prime of life will soon vanish.

The question is what has God laid in your heart about a 60 yr old vs. a 23 yr vs. a 17-18 yr old? I bet an "ought to" comes quietly to speak God's mind to your soul. And as you pray and stay in the Word, your youth will transcend into young adulthood and you will come to the end of this musing over life.

My advice to you is to remember your creator, God, while you are young: before life gets hard and the injustice of old age comes upon you - before the years arrive when pleasure feels far out of reach. I don't believe that in parenting we are to shove the right answer down your throat, for that only creates rebellion, but we are to invest in your character to train it to respond to adversity, and temptation with the experience of the due process of meditation on God's Spirit and Word. To this measure, a parent will have made a, yet introduced, strong adult Character, as well as a correctly behaved child. God bless your quest, and be of good cheer about it, and sin not.
