RiverRunning Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 At this point in my life, I'd never consider it. But I'm in my mid-20s now. When I was 19 - 20, I dated a guy a few months older than me. Good. God. That's really all I have to say about it. Possessive, controlling, manipulative, very insecure, very critical of me (appearance, personality), you name it. Part of this is that the guy was a nutjob. Other parts included that I was his first girlfriend (I think he started going out with me out of desperation), we weren't having sex and he assumed this was because I was banging my obviously gay, but obviously much-hotter-and-more-intelligent-than-my-boyfriend childhood best friend. I would consider it. Proceed with caution. I know guys in their early 20s who are very mature and capable. And then I know others like good ol' Greg. Don't get yourself mixed up with a Greg. 1

Well, i can't actually see your experience through your eyes, but let me tell you about mine. I was shy of 20, and met a girl that was 22, who was from another country, studying here. First date she wore a flanel shirt, she was built like a brick hospital, she had a lazy and 90% blind eye that she was very sensitive about. I payed for everything on all dates. 3rd date, she convined me to 'help' her with 30 pages to translate from English. Did i mention it was from a psychology treaty and i was in Engineering, and she wanted translation of terms as well ? A phone call a day was smothering. Untill off-c she needed the translation badly. I delivered it, to her guy friend's college dorm. She didn't like her collegues in her dorm [2 girls], and she preferred to crash with these guys ... for many nights. She went on to become a therapist. I went off dating for 4yrs after that. Here's to girls being 'mature' at the great age of 20-22.
