Falling for a Younger Guy?
96345
First of all age really is just a number as long as he is over 18. If he only pays attention to you and would rather spend time with you than those other women his own age than I would say give him a chance. I have a friend who is dating a younger man too and they seem to be getting along just fine she is 29 and he is 23. Give him that first date then you'll find out if his feelings are real.

no one can stop you from this but i dont think its love thats a little dramatic... more like liking him. i mean im shure he would enjoy dating someone older than him for social reasons but how would your best friend feel? what if she/he went out with one of YOUR younger siblings? you would be p!ssed and u would think how gross it is. so imagine wat your friends would say and remember there are plenty of other fishes in the sea.Think about the people around you not just you

Oh dear. You think you love him? What is love, then? You are not yet in a relationship do not go there, yet.\n\nHow old you are is important. A lot younger does not tell us much.\nBy 18 a guy has a few ideas on how to start a relationship, you need to let him start it.  If you are too young (>16) please do not do anything with him even if he does start it.\n\nAsk yourself why you want to be with him.\nIs it to be the cool girl dating a much older guy? (That's bad).\n\nIs it because he is a guy you have become comfortable with and developed a crush due to the level of familiarity? (Date someone your age with similar qualities, REMEMBER eventually you will get comfortable with them).\n\nIs it because he pays attention to you? (Other guys will eventually).\n\nIs it because you have sincer feelings?

No. The only thing I have to say to this is you might be passing up some real gems by not dating anyone who isn't at least 5 years older than you. Don't be completely oblivious to them. In fact, I usually look for guys who are a few years older than me as well but I have recently met a fantastic guy who is actually 2 years younger than me! I never thought that would happen!

if you've known him and liked him for 8 years its time to find out and make a move or move on. I mean really 8 years!  I would guess that youve got to be in your 20's now to have had romantic feelings for a guy for that long. So go for it!

WHO DO YOU LIKE MORE, YOUR BOYFRIEND OR THIS NEW GUY?? MAYBE IT IS TIME FOR YOU TO EXPERIENCE SOMETHING WITH SOMEONE NEW OR SOMEONE ELSE. IT HAPPENS! AND THAT DOESN'T MAKE YOU A BAD PERSON. TRUST YOUR HEART, BELIEVE IN YOUR MIND. SIXTH GRADER LIKING A NINTH GRADER!!!! NOT SO SHOCKING!! IF YOU LIKE HIM JUST BECAUSE HE IS OLDER, THEN THAT MIGHT NOT BE THE BEST REASON. DO YOU WHAT YOU FEEL??

Okay, so basically, what you're saying is, as of right now, you're 15 and he's 24? While it may seem thrilling and exciting at such a young age to have an older man interested in you, or to have anyone romantically interested in you since at your age you've probably not had many relationships, there are a few things you might want to think about:\n\nThis man, and i stress the word MAN has lived a lot more than you, even though numerically it's "only" 9 years difference, he's reached a lot more milestones than you. Chances are he's graduated high school, had some secondary schooling such as college or university, could have been in the armed forces, and he's probably already had his first love and a few relationships since. Now you, as a 15 year old girl, still have the rest of high school ahead of you, college, etc. It seems a bit disturbing to be that a 24 year old man would pursue something with someone so young.\n\nI know boys your age may seem immature, unromantic, and this guy may seem older, and wiser, and mysterious, but the difference here is still something i think you should think about, seriously.  \n\nWhatever you decide, i hope it works out for the best.

Hey, but i do think that the guy you are gonna like next year is so much cuter and he's in the same class and he likes you.\n\nLife is about making choices. Don't make any you'll lose everything. Make a wrong choice, take it as a lesson. But if you make the right choice, you'll be happy forever and ever.

Sweetie, age has nothing to do with nothing okay.  If you like this guy then go for it.  You never know, this could be your true love.  Just remember, "It's better to have loved and lost, than to have no love at all."

TOO MUCH! wait till your older . you'll definitly meet someone better 4 u. guys that are 13 think going out with a 17yr old is cool. the kids probably going out just for the coolness and you probly think hes "cute". (that doesnt mean youre bad. ) dont go for it.\nif, your heart really has a serious feel for this guy, though, go for it...

There's nothing wrong with having a crush on someone who's younger than you. Something's wrong if you'll insist on your feelings when you know that she is committed to someone. \n\nI suggest you forget about your feelings for her and look for someone who is unattached and also willing to love you.

Well, I'm 26 and I have a crush on my professor 60! If it's bad for your, then it must be too bad for me, isn't it? :) Sometimes we can not explain why we are attracted by someone. Sometimes I thought that I'm crazy to fall in love with such an old man who worths to be my grandpa! But, i don't know. I can not stop. I do not know it's the right love or not but cannt keep my eyes off him. What I am trying to do now is to be close with him and find out whether we have something in common or not. Is there really a happy "future"? It may be just a first impression! There must be a lot of difference existing that require us to stand back and think! Calm down and take your time. I'm falling in love but still keep myself concious enough to identify the standard moral.\nAnyway, your case can be acceptable. The age gap is not that big.

It can work if you guys have similiar ways of thinking and have fun together.  Sometimes older men/women have more experience in dating and can take advantage of you without you even realizing it.  Also, especially with men, you gotta make sure they're with you for the right reasons, not just to feel young again or prove something.  \n\nI asked a similiar question and got mixed responses.  Some people said age is nothing but a number or I'm married to an older man, but that kind of response doesn't really tell you anything.  Obviously age is important or else we wouldn't even be concerned about it.  \n\nI suggest that you spend some time with him and after some thought, decide if you really think he's right for you or if it is a phase or short-lived attraction.  I had a crush on an older guy before, but then I realized I just felt comforted and secure around him, but was not in love with him.\n\nGood luck, and follow your heart AND mind!\n\nP.S.  It also depends on your age.  If you're around 18, stick to guys around your age (3-4 years older) for experience reasons.  If you're 22 or older, five years difference is not neccessarily a big deal.  If you're under 18, be careful always!

Maybe he felt like you wouldn't have given him a chance if he told his age. Maybe he feels like he is younger at heart and just wanted to show you that. But if you really like him, what should age matter, especially only 3 years.

Well your situation is "uncommon", maybe you're young.. but, who cares about age?... the whole point if you and the guy likes each other, well I guess it will work... but, you haven't told when you start to date with him... To be honest.... just, go for a good relationship... if he loves you a lot, he will move where you at, (sorry to be kind of mean).. this is no stupid... love is something wonderful..
