He's 19 turning 20 and I'm 25 turning 26 soon. Am I too old for him?

He insists on trying to pursue me but I don't know how to feel about it.

Yes, he works and is going to college. He seems mature.

My first girlfriend was 18 and turning 19 in a week and I was 24 turning 25 in 3 weeks the night we fell in lone and started fucking.

I’m being serious here

[FunkyMonkee]

So am I. She also had a daughter that turned 3 a day after she turned 19.

[Asker]

I feel kinda bad tho. I don’t know. I don’t want to feel like I’m taking advantage of him because he’s younger.

[FunkyMonkee]

Is that what you have in mind? How do you know he's not taking advantage of you, like my first girlfriend did of me.

[Asker]

She took advantage of you? 😳

[FunkyMonkee]

After we'd been together for a few months, she told me she was only using me to make another guy jealous.

[Asker]

Oh 😳 Yeah, I definitely don't want that. So, do you recommend I keep ignoring this guy? What would you do if you were me?

[FunkyMonkee]

Well, has he said or done anything to make you think he can't be trusted or that he's just using you? If not, go for it.

[Asker]

Honestly, he hasn’t said or done anything bad. It’s just the age that bothers me. It feel awkward to me because everyone that has ever tried to pursue me has always been 5-10 years older than me. So, now me being 25 and seeing a 19 year old trying to talk to me seems off…different.

[FunkyMonkee]

I don't see why. My parents were 10 years apart and stayed together just short of 50 years, because dad died a few months before their 50th. Mom died 10 years later.

[Asker]

You’re probably right. I guess I just have to see where he’s at mentally.

[FunkyMonkee]

From what I understand, people don't reach their full maturity `til they're at least 24.
As far as I know, dad and mom started dating when she was 20 or 21 and they got married when she was 22 (he was about to to turn 33 in a month and she would've been 23 2 months later). I came along shortly before their first anniversary.
Generally speaking, I don't see where age makes any difference, as long as your both legal and in love with each other.
A guy I used to work with told me that he met his wife when they were both in their teens but, he was a few years older than her so, when he became legal and she wasn't, he told her that he'd wait for her, and he did! They are no great grandparents. They may even be great great grandparents in a few years.

Yes you’re a pedo. Leave him alone you’re old lol no it’s fine. Women worry about too many of the simplest things in life. If you like him and he likes you, as long as he’s not under age for your protection I’d say go fornit.

If you feel that it’s wrong or that you’re “too old” for him, then don’t do it. Don’t sacrifice your morals for someone.
