Age Difference

[fsr]

oaky so i like this girl and she likes me.

 

The only thing that she can't seem to get past is our difference in age im 18 and she's 20, our birthdays are during the same month, so it's mainly years in difference.

 

how can we get past this small difference???

[goddess23]

honestly it does cause problems, even a slight age difference when we're young means two different worlds. however, if she really likes you this age differnece will not mean much. honestly just be yourself, ask yourself if you really can date her, see if she can ask herself as well. honestly i went out with a guy who was a year n a half younger then me, and in high school its a much bigger deal. it was our first relationship and it lasted 9 months, one of the healthiest realtionships ive ever witnessed, so its not that tough. theres not magic trick, its just comprimise, as long as you're mature it should be fine. but if she has a real problem with it, then it will never work.

I totally understand where your coming from.

 

Im quite mature for my age, not to speak too-much of myself, we have loads in common, but still have enough differences to keep the conversation alive, if you know what i mean. we both goto the same college, really that's how we met. yes a magic trick would be awesome,

 

i think i might use the old techquie of riding out the "wave," maybe and comprimise like you said

That doesn't seem like a big age difference. My best friend is 20 and engaged to an 18 year old, so I wouldn't worry about the age being a problem.

Age is just a number it doesn't mean to much. I'm in a relationship with at twenty yearold and I'm only seventeen the age diffrence doesn't bother us because we know what we're both willing to do and respect and love eachother.

[fsr]

it doesn't bother me what so ever she's kidda old school mentality, like it's okay for the guy to be older but kinda werid but not totally impossible for the girl to be older.

 

i've been in other relation ships where the age gap was way bigger than just 2 years so im fine with this...

[I_love_rain_hugs_and_you]

Don't worry. Two years is barely a gap, esp. at that age. You should focus more on other factors that might derail your relationship and guard against them, worry than worry about your ages.

 

Its okay for the girl to be slightly older than the guy. When I was 20 I really liked this 25 year old girl. And we had a very close friendship.

okay so yeah news break:

 

apparently she can't see herself with someone younger, which seems fine. but if i were older it would be okay...

 

so thanks guys and gals...
