There is this girl who likes me a lot, has made no secret of it. But I am 12 years her senior, feel like she's a kid even though she looks and acts very mature. Plus I look way too young anyway, so people believe we're the same age.

But still I feel weird - she is all for it, dismisses my concern for age, but I am not able to. She is such a lovely person. I feel torn. What do I do?

I think you should go for it. If you say she's mature for her age, then it is possible that you both can get along just fine. I'm sure you would rather give it a shot than to regret it in the future.

Unless her 12 years younger make her under 18-years-old, why not give it a try? I say go for it and ask her out and get to know her a little more and see if it continues to bug you or not. You have nothing to lose and possibly a good relationship to gain. Good luck!

If you feel this way and it's already an issue for you now, I don't think it is going to magically get better.

I also think it depends...are we talking 18 and 30 or 30 and 42?

How old are you, technev ?

If you are under 30, back away!

And even if you are in your very early 30s... I am surprised you would be interested a girl that young.

You are 30 and she is .....18???? Is my math wrong?

I always wonder what these older guys talk to their teenage gf's about at the dinner table, when she sips on her coke while you drink wine. Can you enlighten me? Kardashians? Miley Cirus? How can you think this could be a balanced relationship?

(here's a first, quoting myself)

At 18, she is still a child, compared to your 30.

Based on your other thread, I suggest you remove yourself from situations where you're surrounded by teenaged girls and start looking for activities and people to meet in your own age group.

How does an 18-year-old "act mature" for her age? Does she have a condo and a job, or is that code for "is sexually forward"?

Does she live with her parents? Does she have to be home no later than 10? Yea, too young. What 30 year old wants to put up with that bull****.

How come in your other thread you said you don't look that young and that no one could mistake you for a teenager?

What do you do? Ignore them.
