Hey I currently have a strange problem. I'm currently 17 years old but I don't really "feel" 17. I don't hang out with any people of my age and. the only girls I seem to be attracted to are mature intellectual girls of the age of 21+ I get asked out by some girls of my age multiple times but I don't feel the attraction. Is this normal.? and what can I do about it ? should I just wait until I'm older ?
I think that is way normal. I am seventeen, but all of my guy friends are like 20, and I am not really even attracted to any of the guys at my high school. I think that it all just depends on what you like. Don't wait till you are older, just try to find someone that you really like because as long as it isn't like a huge age gap, age shouldn't matter. :)
It's not a problem!, there's many people who feel attracted to older people. Take my case, I am 20 and I've been on dates with 31 year olds. There's nothing wrong with attraction, older (mature) guys/girl(most of the time) know what they want, and most likely have been through all the garbage that immature guys/girls are just going through.
You can't do anything about it, it's not a problem, it's like asking a bi to do something/ change his/her attraction patterns.
Don't wait till you are older, if you like older girls go for it!. However, depending on the "object of your attraction", some girls might not feel comfortable going out with someone younger. Either way, you don't have anything to lose if you ask older girls out, if anything it'll make you more experienced in the "dating arena" haha. Hope it helps
I have felt that way to. It just happens, I would not date a 21 on year old at this point but just wait for someone more your age who feels the same way. Like what has been said (:
This is normal, at least I think it is. I had the same problem, until I met my boyfriend who is 17 and was having the same problem. It just means you matured faster. I don't see that there would be a problem with you dating 18-19 year old, 21 would be a little strange though. At least I don't think your parents would be too happy. Who knows maybe you'll get lucky and find a girl with the same problem.
It's not a "norm" by social standards considering that we males are supposed to go after younger girls unless desired by someone older. I personally am attracted to older women as well, I find that a relationship with them is much more satisfying than one with a younger girl. You just have to be patient and find a mature woman who is willing to be with you, until you get older this will be rather tough since it is considered weird or taboo and odd for girls to be with younger guys until the guy is in his mid twenties and out of college. It is possible though, so be a trooper and you will make it through.
There's nothing wrong. You're likely just more mature than most people your age, or you have a preference of women who are older than you. Nothing abnormal here.
As for what you can do.Try finding more older women because those are the ones you like? You'll likely have to wait a bit. When you hit college you'll have all the older women you need. I'm 19, one year in and you meet people from ages of 18 to late twenties. It is a haven for all people!
One more year man, get to college, and things will be better.
Its funny I had exactly the same issue (if that is what you want to call it) exactly at your age. When I was 17, I was REALLY disinterested by girls my age. I found them to be obnoxious, boring, superficial and plain dumb (like omg, math is so hard) does that statement ring a bell ?
The few my age that were good in science, math and other classes and the few who were mature and intelligent unfortunately were not interested in me cause I was quite obese and not so attractive back then.
So the only thing you can do, is just be you. don't make and issue out of it. Whenever it will happen, it will. I am sure you and I aren't the only one in this boat, and I am sure there are women you age who feel the exact same
Whenever guys flirt with me. they are either younger then me by a few years or older, I never understood why guys my age don't come up to me. is it...
