I am newly 26, and I met a guy that is 21. I am not even sure anything will happen, but part of me has something against dating a guy that much younger than me. I have dated older guys and younger, and I just prefer to stick closer to my age.
I know some will say "Love has no age" and although true, I just don't feel right dating a 21 year old. I assume we are at different points, like I'm sure he wants to go to the bars and party, whereas I'm kind of sick of that scene and don't go out as much. I don't even know him that well, but he doesn't seem to mind the age thing.
I suppose I will just see what happens. But any suggestions for getting over this issue I have?

Maybe you owe it to yourself to just give it a try. Go out with him. Maybe he's not into the bar scene as much as you think. Maybe just because he's only 21, you could be judging him a bit? Assuming he's going to be one way when he may completely surprise you. I'd give it a try. Certain ages don't matter as much as others, but be open minded. See if you like him for who he is and then make your decision based on the type of person he is and not only his age.

i actually am dealing with something like this outstanding now. i'm 19 yet i'm turning 20 this 3 hundred and sixty 5 days and the guy i admire is 21 and he's turning 22 this 3 hundred and sixty 5 days. the only distinction is that we the two like one yet another and we do not have a controversy with age. i think of age isn't all that substantial till he's like 3 years older than you by using fact then there are modifications between you 2. for that reason i do no longer think of age could be a great deal. in case you adult adult males like one yet another then why don't you flow out? outstanding. something you're able to think of of is that a courting takes 2 human beings and if there is disagreement approximately this then this can no longer artwork. he's no longer mushy with the age distinction and in all threat in no way is so I say in simple terms flow on purely time will tell.

It sounds to me like you have a grip on the situation. Age is just a number and obviously no big deal to him. It's only 5 years anyway. GO WITH THE FLOW and the two of you will be fine.

"Meet a young man that is barely eighteen years old, and most
importantly INDEPENDENT and STABLE."
"When you date a gentleman like that, you'll be TRIPPIN', thinking
he's both more experienced and older than yourself."
"LOVE HAS NO AGE, is so true. Find a young man whose had to
be responsible for his actions, words, unspoken words, deeds,
and misdeeds, he'll TREAT YOU different than an older man who
only had to CARE ABOUT THEMSELVES."
"One more thing, bars and parties are for 'guys' and 'gals' that
have ROOMMATES."
"Someone with a home of their own would stay home more, unless
he happens to be, yours truly."
"It gets expensive, but Hey! I play '9 - Ball' when I shoot pool. I
normally don't like to play billiards in places where alcohol isn't
served. When I do, it seems like a chore to win."
"When I'm buying drinks, nobody seems to mind me 'HUSTLING
THEM'."

I'd at least give it a little bit of a chance. He may surprise you and he may be the greatest and everything you've ever wanted. But you wont know if you dont dip your toes in the water.

Explain how you feel about the bar scene. That should show him how you feel. Age really doesn't matter. Good luck.

If he does like the bar scene and you don't, make that clear to him and things will probably take care of themselves.
