Junior Guy, Freshman Girl?

[Anonymous]

Sup everyone. I'm a 16 year old Junior.

I have been talking to this Freshman girl for about 2 weeks. She seems like a really chill person, and is always nice to me. At first I was like "Oh god its a freshman" when we meet for the first time. But now I have grown to really like her.

There are two things I would like to ask.

- Is it ok to date some younger than me, by 2 years?

- This week we got a homecoming dance. Should I ask her out to it? or is it to early to ask about that type of stuff?

Dealing with the two years question first;

It is ok (I think if it's under 4 years then it's a problem), but if it is going to be a long term relationship it may be a problem. Why? Since you are a junior, you are going to graduate in about two years while she'll be graduating in four. There will be an emotional strain on you and her if you go out during your senior year.

Now to the homecoming;

Are you absolutely sure she likes you? If so and you are willing to risk all the chances of being in a relationship with a freshmen, go ahead.

Also, just be weary if she turns out not being the one for you and DON'T use her as a toy for sex. Most girls are smart enough to see through that. (Not saying that you are, but it's just a warning to others that may try the same thing).

For sure, I would never use her for sex.

Dating someone who is two years younger then you is practically nothing. But that's just me, I've dated a guy three years older then me so meh. But I guess it depends on her, if she's cool with it and you are to then go for it. If you like her more then a friend then you should talk to her more, try to drop hints, and if she plays along then I guess you should ask her to the homecoming dance.

Ohh, I'm god awful @ dropping hints. Any tips?

When you're in a crowded room or something lean down real close into her ear and whisper a compliment about her, don't say the word 'hot' it makes us feel cheap say 'pretty' or 'beautiful', and put your hand on her waist as you say it. Or umm... if you're sitting next to her or something pretend to frown at her fringe and then push it away and linger your hand on her face a bit then smile. That usually gets the message across. Or if you're to shy for that sort of stuff just play with her hands.

Well, it all depends on the girl. If she seems like she'd be ok with dating a guy 2 years older, then you should be ok with dating a girl 2 years younger. And as far as the homecoming, you should double check, make sure she likes you, and if she does, it should be ok. just make sure you both like each other and are willing to set aside the age difference!

[Asker]

Yeah, well it seems she likes me.

because almost every time I see her, she gives me this "cute" wave along with a hello and a huge smile.

First, have you guys ever hung out before? Does she show any interest? Or does she talk out any other guys to you? 2 years age difference isn't bad at all. Do you guys share any interest? Make sure she shows signs that she likes you. Compliment her, see how she responds. Try flirting a bit, if she goes along with it then she likes you.
