A whole year younger than me
Submitted on Sunday, February 24, 2008
By JB, 19, from USA:
I'm starting to date this guy who's a whole year younger than me. I've always dated guys older than me...1 yr, 5 yrs, 18 yrs older. This is the first time dating someone younger. I really like him and I'm pretty sure he likes me, but sometimes when I'm around him I can't help but feel like an old woman. He's polite, and very funny, he jokes around with me but sometimes he's really really quiet. Do you think he thinks about our age difference as much as I do? And how can I get over it?
VictorM's advice:
Age difference?! One year?! That's not an age difference; that's washed out in rounding.
I can't imagine that your ages enters his mind at all. He goes quiet at times because that's part of his personality, not as a result of your math.
You get over it by accepting my new rule in life: when the couple is within one year of each other, they are, for all intents and purposes, considered to be the same age.
Now, go find some real problem with this guy so you can do your girlfriend duty and torment him about it. Go... shoo!

Yeah, that's just his personality...it has nothing to do with age. Believe me, a year is NOTHING. If you feel like an old woman, perhaps he is just immature for his age, or your ideas of fun differ from his, etc. One year...I mean he's not really THAT much younger than you at all.
