Is this relationship wrong?

I'm 20, I have a strong sense of common sense, I'm an overall nice guy and I like to enjoy life. I don't party, I don't smoke drink or do drugs. I was single till very recently and that's where this question spawns from. I have been very lucky in my life so far (living in a multi-million dollar mansion with my HIGHLY disgruntled/estranged ex girlfriend's grandmother, living incredibly cheap, while going to school, all this after being kicked out of my house with not a penny or anything) and I just wonder if I'm making the right choice.

I'm dating a 30 year old single mother. I have very strong feelings for her. I love her kid and would be willing to treat him as my own. I know that most people would say that it's my choice, but I'm wonder if there are any grounds that people might ask my what the heck I'm doing. I do love her, though...

Is dating this beautiful perfect (for me) woman socially wrong? Honesty appreciated - not just what you think I want to hear.

Update:

I would like to add to the whole me living where I am now - I'm begging to get out. I feel that this may be the chance I'm looking for. She lives on welfare now but she's promised me that she would get a job and such. She's going to have to because I won't be moving in with her for a while, so that will be my proof if she does.

Update 2:

No I'm not a murderer, serial killer, thief, liar, prostitute, or sexual assaulter. Neither is she... but she's one heck of a sex fiend. ^_^

    OK, let's see, you're living in a multi-million dollar mansion and dating a girl on welfare who promises to find work once your married, because then she'll have a built in baby sitter, and will probably have to move in with you in the multi million dollar mansion until she makes enough at her new job to afford to rent that 1 and 1/2 bedroom luxury efficiency apartment in the low rent district of whatever city you're in. You don't want honesty, because you ask if dating a perfect for you woman is the right thing to do, spike the answer. Why not get a job before you two are married, and why the rush? Have you finished school? Do that first. If she's pushing you to get married, there may be alterior motives. Ask her to back off a little, find work, let you finish school and get established. Trust me five years from now you will still be five years older whether you marry her now or not. Good Luck

    age has nothing to do with how you feel about someone, or if they have kids. you have to look at the good points and the bad ones for both decisions and then try to balance them out.

    as for where you live now, if there are no problems and you live really cheap while in school, whats the hurry. take it slow. and just because you told this lady on welfare that she needs to get a job, well some do and some dont, some like the little beneifits of welfare, because its easy and they do not want to work.

    i would not do anything stupid, stay where u are for now and see if she does get a job and how long it takes her, before u make a final decision.

    you have your whole life ahead of you right now with no strings, think really hard about ur situation.

    If you are living in a multimillion dollar home and a single mom on welfare is dating a man 10 years her junior (and 20 and 30 are HUGE maturity/age differences...hell you can't even drink) I'd be worried she's after you for money, or money she thinks you have.

    Your scenario presents a couple of issues you may want to address, and deal with. first the age difference won't matter right now, but both of you will struggle and life will be harsh. think about this, She hasn'r shown you her guest personality yet, and you haven't exposed your dependancy side, so both of you are in for a rude awakening, when reality hits. Do yourself a favor and get a degree, then think marriage/relationship.

    Avoid single mothers like the PLAGUE.

    Otherwise YOU'LL be paying her big$$ for child/vagina support after you graduate college & get a good job.

    Don't live with a girl until you're 30.

    right now i think you are makiing a rash decision because you want out and i diffenitely would not move in with someone who is on welfare she should have gotten a job by now, she is telling you that now, but i promise once you move in it will be a different story wait and see how things go

    The fact that you are even questioning it means that your intuitions are telling you that you should run, your feelings are already caught out there. Why are you even asking anyones opinions you gonna do what you want anyway.
