I really don't want this to be a whiny post, but i apologize in advance if that how it ends up.

At our companies Christmas party i got friendly with a girl who works at one of the other stores on my district. We chatted a bit but mostly just danced (rather intimately). It was nice, as it had been a while since any girl had showed me any attention. She's pretty, seems like a really nice girl and she likes me, so it's all good. The only problem is that she's only 18. I'm sure most 30 year old men would be quite happy with this situation, but personally I'd rather someone my own age. Someone who remembers the same TV shows and films that i remember from my childhood, someone that grew up hearing the same music and...so on. I know age shouldn't matter, but from past experience I've found that i have nothing in common with girls a lot younger than me.
So, I'm not sure if i should pursue a relationship with this girl. Part of me has decided that it wouldn't work out, because of the age difference. Then, there's another bit of me that agrees with a couple of my friends who said i should just have a bit of fun with this girl and move on. But, then that's not really what I'm after and, I'd like to think, I'm not that kind of person. Generally i try not to be an arsehole.

Ok, this has been a slightly rambling post that hasn't really gone anywhere, but it was something i needed to get off my chest.
