When I was 21 I dated someone twice my age and my family refused to speak to me during that time. I'm 28 now and when I look back on that, I realize what a bad idea it was. I was young and learning things and barely on my own. We had nothing in common. Things fizzled out pretty fast. I still date older men but not THAT much of a difference.

You're only 19. Trust me, there's a lot of fun and learning to be had still. I'll never forget an article I read years ago saying that we don't know what we really want in life until about age 27. Studies show that people are having kids and marrying later in life now too.

Your parents seem concerned but cool enough about it. But trust me, you're young and have so much to experience still!
