Well, I met this guy tonight....He will be 20 in Feb and I turned 23 in Dec. I know 3 years isn't a lot, but I think it is weird for the girl to be older than a guy. Maybe I am being silly because he seemed like a totally great guy, and I haven't laughed so hard in a while. We talked for a while before I asked his age, and when he said 19, I was kinda embarassed that I had been flirting with him. OKay, so anyway, I'm a teacher and he just has a part time job....Am I over thinking this?

Age is important to alot of people... but if YOU are happy, and he respects you I don't find anything wrong with it. You just have to adjust to the fact that... you are older, and there will be differences. It seems like you have fun together... don't throw it all away! If anything be his friend... Good Luck

Age shouldnt matter, and it is to some people for the girl to be older than the guy. About him having a part time job, at least he has a job, and you have a steady paying job, so you know if things dont work out, you still have a pay check coming in. I think you are over thinking this a little to much, if you ask me. He is just starting to live his life, and trying to figure out how to make a decent living. It can be something great in the long run, you just have to take the risk of making it work.

I used to think that a older woman going out with a younger guy was weird too. I only dated guys who were at least 5 years older than me. I met a guy who happens to be 3 years younger than me (he was 24 at the time, I was 27). I thought the age thing would be weird but honestly, if you like the person, you really don't even think about. I thought I would obsess over it but I don't...at all! 3 years isn't that big of a deal so if he makes you laugh and you like him, go for it!

I have nothing but total respct for this guy and I would respect you as much if you liked him for who he is and don't diss him because of his age or his career situation. I've been with older women and the first girl who kissed me was 14 when I was 11 and my first relationship was with a 16-year-old when I was 12. If you really like him and you can relate to him, age shouldn't be an issue...it's maturity and responsibility that counts ; )

that age difference isnt a big deal and difference but if u are questioning it and feel uncomfortable means u shouldnt be with this guy and any guys this age and be just friends and talk to this guy about it and be honest about ur mixed feelings and the age between both of u makes u feel uncomfortable and fact u are questioning it. and plus u just met so u both should get to know one another for awhile also so take care and wish and hope u luck and both of u friends out of outcome if being more than friends makes u feel uncomfortable and fact u sound like u are having doubts.

I think it's kinda wierd too - for a girl to be older than the guy. But my cousins and friends are older than there guys and some of them are married or getting married. I think it's all on how well of a relationship you have. Cause most younger men are VERY immature. If u can handle it and have alot in common then go for it!!

It is not his age u look at but his drive like what do he want to do in life, is he mature, is he someone that wants to be in a long relationship. Age tell u only how long god have let you be on this earth of his. I know that for sure my wife is 30 and I am 26 so it can work. If u want it to.

No, he's not a jailbait. My husband is 4 years younger than me. I used to date guys 5-6 years younger (BTW I also dated older ones, so it's not a preference). When you get along, age doesn't matter.

Yes, you are overthinking this! Enjoy his company and do not expect anything. You will be surprised at the outcome!
I dated someone 17 yrs. younger than me for a couple of months. It was a lot of fun. He is a great guy who has chosen to make the greatest self-less act and serve our country.

He is completely legal concerning age. As long as he isn't your student then it doesn't matter. A dear friend on mine who is 37 just started dating a woman who is 42.
