I don't think the age difference is creepy, but 19 and 26 are very different places. She's in school and figuring out what she wants to do with her life, while you're more settled and established. You may be looking to settle down while she just wants to date and enjoy herself.
I think its understandable for OP for feeling kind of put off by the idea. Not all guys are out just to screw around with 18,19 and early 20 year old women. At his age, he might be seeking something serious and a 19 year old often isn't or ready or even wanting that kind of thing.
I don't think a seven year gap is so bad, but in your twenties, it could be.
Not to say that a 19 year old and 26 year old couldn't work. It can.
Just talk to her if you're really curious and even go on a date if you can, but if you don't want to, than don't, thats okay too.
Ok, for the past two weeks my uncle has talked about this girl that lives beside him. He claims shes pretty, hard-working, shes going to school and has a part-time job. He says that he has talked to her about me as well and she wants to meet me. He says that we would be perfect for each other since we both like to save money.
Anyway, what I'm concerned about is our age difference. I'm 26 and she's only 19. I almost feel like a pervert just thinking about the idea even though she is of age. Another thing is we are at two different points in life. She's going to school and I have a career. I also moved back home last year due to my dad going through surgery due to cancer. Now, I'm staying with him to help him financially so I don't even have a place of my own anymore.
Can I have some of your opinions on this? I just don't know. I also haven't dated in 3-4 years.
Go for it. Take the opportunity to meet her. You might have more in commen then you know. Its a win win situation.
Geeezz I wasn't expecting this many responses in such a short amount of time.
I'm honestly not looking for anything serious either. Definitely not planning on getting married anytime soon. I still want to go out and live myself. Haven't done much over the past few years except work and work.
I know it wouldn't hurt to just meet her and see where it goes from there. Female companionship would be great since it's been 3-4 years. I just can't stand immature teenagers and if she's going to school and working a part-time job she must be somewhat responsible. But still at the same time, yea we are in two completely different points in life.
amazing 5 years older than her and u feel like a pervert.
times have changed. strange most gals i know date 10 years younger than them and they dont feel a thing.
Nothing wrong with an exploratory date. My favorite ex dated a 19-year-old for a while long after we broke up - he was 32 and he had a blast. For a time. When they first started going out, there was a lot of gleeful "She's 19! She's 19!"
Right before it ended, there was a lot of "She's NINETEEN." Turns out they had mismatched goals, values, outlooks - the whole shebang. But I really really don't think he regretted it, and you're not 32. You're still in that nice mid-20s range where you will have a lot more in common with her.
It is only a 7 yr. age difference, it's not like shes 12. I think it will be fine. Meet her and see if you click, if you don't, nothing lost, but who knows, maybe you will find someone special. Good luck!
your uncle is a good man, that's a good age difference.
