The age difference is too great right now. In 8-10 years, the age gap won't mean a thing, but think of it this way: MY 13 year old girl still occassionally plays with dolls (granted, she is decapitating them or cutting off all their hair). Her friends do, too. This I know because they do it at my house. My girl hasn't even started menstruating regularly yet. I wouldn't let her be home alone for more than a couple of hours, and she is still afraid of the dark. In other words, she is still - in a lot of ways - a little girl, even though she would scratch my eyes out if she knew I said so, and of course, she pretends she is grown up the second she steps out the front door.
18 year old boys are not too far from their sexual peak. They are legal adults. It is inappropriate - not to mention illegal - for adults to be romantically involved with children. If an 18 year old boy were trying to get with my daughter, I'd have him arrested.
Stay away from this girl until she grows up. You have much to risk.

Relax... I'll need some information first. Just the basic facts - can you show me where it hurts?
