Flipper Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 I'm living on campus too. I am pretending I'm 21, because in reality I'm even more immature than 21... but when I go there's going to be tons of girls everywhere as this school is 75% girls. Is it a big deal to pretend I'm 21, like I've gone back in time and am starting over? And to get with girls who are in the 18-22 age range?
patagonia Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 tell people your real age. College is real life or at least it should be. This should be the last thing you are worrying about Girls won't care either.
Mr. Slim Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 You're fine, no need to lie about anything. There's plenty of seniors there your age and a good amount of even freshman who are probably only a couple of years younger. Not everybody goes right after high school. Sure you're probably on the upper bound of where it would be kind of weird, but I think you're fine.
youngskywalker Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 There is no age difference between 20-23. Are you really serious in asking that question in the first place? How about this.... Lie about the fact that you're not 21 and then get into a relationship with a girl who will eventually find out you're actually 23. Then, let us know how that works out for you. I really don't mean to be a jackass but what kind of people are getting accepted into college these days? My bad... sorry... really. Good luck to you.
grkBoy Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 23 isn't a big deal. 32 would be. Just be you. Be more mature than the teenagers, and the women will fall for you. Live it up.

When a woman finds out you lied, it could be a deal breaker. Not because of the age, but because of the deception. There's nothing wrong with your age. Lots of college students are your age. No reason to hide it. And yes, college is a great place to find dateable women. What better place to find tons of intelligent young women all in one place than a college campus?
Author Flipper Posted August 4, 2011 Author Posted August 4, 2011 The reason I want to lie guys is cause in 2 years I'll be 25... in 4 years I'll be 27! I went through a ROUGH time the past few years, serious family issues, depression, etc... btu I am getting over it and I am starting in life right now where most people start at 18-20. I don't want to be a legit age for college for only my first year, that's just lame. I can convince myself that I really am 21 and go back in time in my head and start all over... I'm going to be a freshman when I go back.. it may sound crazy but I'm just what one would call a "late bloomer."
Afishwithabike Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 I had classes in college with people who were undergraduates in their 40s and 50s so trust me, 23 is no big deal.

I'm going to be a freshman when I go back.. it may sound crazy but I'm just what one would call a "late bloomer." Just be honest. Nobody will care--believe me. There are people of all ages that go to college. Lots of people have events in their life that delay college a few years. Some enter the workforce right after high school and decide later to start college. Some go traveling abroad for a year or two before college. Some go into the military before college, or they have to take time off from their courses to serve in the military, so they end up being older when they actually graduate. It's not going to be a problem. When I was an 18 year old college student, I dated a guy that was a 27 year old college student. I later dated a guy that I ended up marrying, and he was a 24 year old college student. 6 years older than me. Just be honest.
rafallus Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 Yeah, nothing weird. I knew several people throughout my higher education, who dropped out from different faculty and started over again, so it's pretty normal.
Mrlonelyone Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 Say your real age. Most people will not care. In terms of dating, the 17 18 19 year olds will think it's an advantage (you can legally buy beer have more money etc.)

Tell the truth...I'd be pissed if a girl told me she was 21 and turned out 23, not because of the actual age, but because our relationship started out on a lie if it got there BE HOENST!
Roman Griffen Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 I'm with the others. Tell your real age. But do keep a journal. I'd love to know how this works out. Sounds like it will be more than interesting.
