25 year old hanging out with a 19 year old - weird or creepy?

I joined this silly myspace local community group for my new (and horribly boring) neighborhood to meet some local drinking/hang out buddies. One girl from the group messaged me and invited me to check out the local joints since I was new to the area. I accepted her invitation and we're going to meet in a few hours and my buddy is giving me a lot of sh*t about meeting up with a 19 year old. I didn't think it was a big deal but my friend is saying things like "don't be that weird 25 year old who hangs out with kids! you're an adult, she's a kid - stay away!"

Now i'm thinking about flaking and never meeting this girl. Is my friend over reacting or does she have a point? It's not like I don't have friends - they just all live about an hour commute away and going out to a movie locally sucks when your only option is to hang out with your roomates (and I'm trying to get away from them, not spend more time with them).

UPDATED FOR CLARITY
I'm updating the original post because people aren't reading my follow ups and therefor asking the same questions again:

- "Your buddy is jealous"
I don't get that, my buddy is a girl as well - it's not a male friend of mine who wishes he could get with a 19 year old

-I don't want to get with a 19 year old- I just need more friends around here.. 99% of my new neighborhood is over 65... It SUCKS

-Pic requests:

Update
I guess this was a non-issue.. She flaked and, as per my one strike flake policy, I deleted her from my phone and such. Oh well.

he's jealous as are we all (until we see pics).

Do it. nothing weird.
 
If she was illegal, it would be weird and/or creepy.

Don't sweat it, your friend is just hating.
 
friend is jealous. i see 24 -> 18 as fine as well. i mean, sux for the girl who won't experience as much with someone in her own age group, but nothing wrong with it.
 
Don't be that weird 25 year old who hangs out with kids. Every guy who does that is that guy who doesn't have the looks or self-confidence to get with a girl his own age, so he dips down into a lower age bracket because, well, girls that age are easier to impress. "Wow, you have your own car and your own place! ZOMG let me suck you!!!11one"

Hmm. Suddenly I'm forgetting why I'm cautioning against doing this, but the point is it's a copout to having the balls to get women your own age.

Pics, not that her looks matter - i'm just really in the need of drinking/hang out buddies here and would never date someone who lives two blocks away..

Your friend is an idiot. Although you can't go out drinking with her, so I was kind of confused by the first part. Just go spark a fatty instead
 
I don't think there's anything wrong w/ it =)

Maybe SHE likes older men (cuz you know, the guys her age aren't sophisticated enough for her!)
 
It's not weird. I have lots of friendships that span that age range, and since I'm in the middle, I wind up introducing my friends on both ends of the spectrum to each other and they hang out.

People get way too hung up on age. Hang out with the people you like. You won't like them if their maturity level is very different from yours, but that's another question.
 
Hmm... She's in that 11-19 year old bracket. 13% chance to get her pregnant. Dunno the probably of scoring without pregnancy though.
 
Go out and have fun. Both of you are adults (as long as no alcohol would be involved!) so might as well do that entire socializing thing.
