LK30 Posted July 10, 2011 Posted July 10, 2011 Hi all! I've written on here loads - mainly whingeing about being unlucky in love. Wanted to mention this one though. I'm 31 and do voluntary work, and today I ran an activity alongside a girl who was asked to come and help as we were short staffed. We clicked completely, had lots in common, had the most bizarre conversation that people wouldn't understand, and talked for hours... And then I realised she's only 19 half way through!! Absolutely gutted because the age gap would not be acceptable, and I tried to carry on the conversation imagining that just for a while she was my age (the fact she's 19 was barely noticeable). How bloody frustrating! She had all the qualities I have wished for in a girl, and these people don't come along very often, but yet again there's something that someone 'up there' is putting in the way to test me and make me wait!! I've heard the song 'you can't hurry love, oh you'll just have to wait' but come on, gimme a break!!
Exit Posted July 10, 2011 Posted July 10, 2011 Look at it this way, get involved with a 19 year old, you'll have two or three good years, she'll hit the early 20s ages where girls don't know what they want and end up running from a good relationship, and you'd be heartbroken.

I'm afraid I have to agree with Exit.
Author LK30 Posted July 27, 2011 Author Posted July 27, 2011 Well, we went for a walk on the beach tonight and had some chips, then we went ten pin bowling which I didn't tell her beforehand! (I wanted to do an activity rather than staring at each other across the room like a job interview!!) Things went well and we had a great chat, but bit of a no-no really. I guess the age gap would always get in the way, and she did talk about blokes a lot and how many she knows and how she gets on much better with them than women blah blah blah! Almost thought my luck was in because she said 'do u think it's acceptable for me to go out with an older man?' I said it depends on the situation (obviously thinking it was a test and not wanting to rule myself out!) Then she said 'I've been seeing a 30 yr old on the quiet' Bam! Game over!! I've been home an hour and thought she may have texted me as I paid for everything. Perhaps she wonders if I fancy her, or perhaps she just sees me as a mate! It would be nice to feel wanted though!

Exit's right. That can and did happen.
