AKO87 Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 I'm new to this site and I wasn't really sure where to post this so here it is. To keep things simple. Basically there is this girl in one of my classes who is really cute. We only have one class together a couple times a week so we don't see each other much. We've been talking the last couple of classes, and she's really nice and I like her. I'm naturally a shy person so I have a hard time asking people out on dates or even getting their phone number, but this girl is cute and very nice. Anyways my problem is I just found out something that makes me think she may be a few years older than me (I'm 24 and I'm she's 26 or 27), and it's making me have second thoughts about trying to start anything with her (not that I have any clue if she likes me like that anyway). I'm still attracted to her, but something about her potentially being 2-3 years older than me makes me very hesitant about attempting to pursue anything with her. Is this common? Anyone else have similar issues? Or am I just weird lol.
PegNosePete Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 Most likely you are anxious that she is more experienced than you, has had more BF's, and you have fear of rejection. Go for it dude you only live once, what's the worst that can happen?
sammyd Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 Only 2 or 3 years?! Seriously, that's nothing!! Go for it!
Author AKO87 Posted February 4, 2011 Author Posted February 4, 2011 I know it's stupid, but I can't help but thinking when I'm 27/28 she'll be 30. Not that I'm at all expecting us to go get married or something like that. It's just something that crosses my mind.
smudge21 Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 I'm in my thirties and my last girlfriend was 39, before that 24, and currently my recent (hard to say partner with the issues I'm having) is 21. Age has little to do with how good or bad a relationship will go. It's about how compatible you both are. The 21 year old I'm currently head over heels for I consider to be one of the closest people ever in the way we always get along so well, even from the first time we met. Yes there's a big age difference, but emotionally and mentally we're on the same level.
Author AKO87 Posted February 5, 2011 Author Posted February 5, 2011 I guess I'll try and see if she likes me at all. It isn't a big age difference, but whenever I think of girls more than a year older than me I can't help but think I'll still be in my 20s for a few years when she hits 30. I know that is a weird concept. Especially since I would be willing to date girls 2-3 years younger than me. I guess I just feel like as a guy I should be older. Oh well. This is probably all a mute point as I'm likely reading too much into her actions and will never even go out on a date with her.
Eeyore79 Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 I'm four years older than my bf; I'm over 30 and he's under. It doesn't bother either of us, though he does joke about being my toyboy
