are there too much difference between me and her?

Question

I'm 28 , and I know a girl who 21, ..well, I wouldn't say I love her very much, but as I am alone now, I would like to try her out to see if it will work ..but, I am doubting a bit, because, we seem to be different in so many area ....she's 21, I am 28; she's 2nd year college student, ..I am a professional with a master's degree..I am a techlogy guy, she is not tuned on that ...she still have a childish mind, and I don't ... do you think that can work in the long run ? should I even try to date her to see if between me and her , that can work ?

Answer 1

Whether it could work or not depends on issues deeper than you mention. Knowing nothing about your job means little, except that it is often also a hobby for tech pros, and she wouldn't understand the time you spend on optimizing your home network, etc., but I'm sure she has interests you don't care about either.

I'd say have fun for a while and see if something deeper develops. While I often say age is just a number, and that where you are in life means more, you are clearly at different places in your lives. As for her childish mind--does it frustrate you or do you find it refreshing and fun at times? You'd be better off with someone who isn't in school for the next two years because she won't even think about the real world until she is close to graduation. That said, there is no reason you shouldn't share some good times until one of you needs something more than that.

Answer 2

you can help her grow up. this is my opinion but i think in order for a good lasting relationship to work. you must teach eachother. she can bring out the fun side of you. when you need to lighten up and shut up about that professional crap and you can help her be serious and see things a whole different perspective.
