I really like a girl who is 25, and I am 19. I think she likes me, she will always talk to me, smile at me, laugh at my bad jokes, lean on me if we working together ect. The problem is the age thing. One minute she will say how immatutre she is for her age, how people never think she is as old as she then, but then will talk about how all of her friends are getting married or having kids, something that I am not at an age for. Is a seven year gap too big? Is she the one worried about the age gap. Because I am not (I am not incredibly mature but have life goals and plans and do not act like an idiot btw)

That is really not that big of a gap, especially if you two truly enjoy being around each other and care for one another. Age is only a number.

my boyfriend and i have a 7 year age gap too :)
he's 26 and i'm about to turn 19. it's not too big.
there's only a few things that matter in a relationship - and whether most people admit it or not, the biggest is compatibility. if you two work for eachother, then go for it. there is nothing wrong with a relationship in which 2 people differ greatly in age - as long as both members are of legal age, mind you.
you say she may like you, but do you really like her?.. if you do, it's your job to make it clear that your age gap isn't an issue for you, and that it shouldn't be for her. that way, if she does think it's a problem, she'll have your reassurance (and trust me, if the girl likes you it will mean a lot to her to know you're okay with the situation)
my boyfriend and i had a really strong connection - for us, the only thing that mattered was that i was 18 and old enough to legally date him.
like i said, just make sure that you two are compatible, and if you are.. it should all unfold from there.
best of luck to you!

Well, I am 19 and bf is 26. Things do work out sometimes. Age is just a number. My bf acts like a two year old. Some people mature quicker than others, while it takes some people a longer time to get grown. But you can still act immature no matter how old you are. HAVE fun with your life. be silly, be goofy, ask her out on a date to dinner and ask her fave restaurant...you should have a good time with her, be you too! who knows she might be the one, if that really does exist. All im saying is have fun with her be immature, let loose. don't be so serious.

we could get genuine! in case you're thinking approximately commencing a marriage with a 7 year age hollow, be arranged. in the event that they are older, you ought to wind up resenting his consistent older way of thinking. His song style will variety, His television, and then their is the getting previous factor too. What happens once you nonetheless experience bright and alive at say, 40 3....and that they are 50 and finding like your grandfather. basically inquiries to ask your self in the past you pass forward and marry. individually my brother married his spouse and he or she is 12 years older than him....they are nonetheless at the same time after 17 years. My sister married a guy 15 years older than she and that they have been married for 15 years. So possibly it does final. For me, it would might desire to be somebody my own age.

well some people may say yes but i have to look at it like this, at least one of you is not 13 and the other is 43 i mean that would just be gross. you are both adults now and can make your own decisions to wether or not you want to date no one else can make it for you. if you think she likes you go for it ask her on a date or whatever it is that the younger people do nowadays and maybe it will work out and maybe it wont. you wont know till you try it out but i wouldnt be upset if she decides that you are too young for her you can always find someone else

I don't think that's too big of a gap. The way that I do it is, if they have hit puberty before I was born.. then that is just too big of a gap. It really doesn't matter what other people think of it, it's what you think of it. If you care about her enough, then you wont care what people think, you will just wanna be with her.

hun, my boyfriend and I are six and a half year apart and yes i'm older than he is. we have been togethr since he was 18. and we are still together 5 years later. No. age doesn't really matter. Just make sure that when and if you get together, you are sensitive to her needs to do adult things and to not forget her every time one of your buddies call to hang out. Older girls will give you more space than younger girls. They are usually more confident. Just be cognizant of her needs.
Good luck!

Age really is not her issue she is feeling pressured because her friends are getting married and probably talking about kids. She is feeling you out talk to her tell her your life goals.

my parents were 7 years apart and that worked for 20 years. If you are just wanting to date and you are both out of high school and independently living i see no problem

if you are not ready for marriage, then i dont know if you should waste her time, (or date anyone, for that matter, because dating will lead to this) she's at the age where she does want to look for that.
