Is it weird to like a guy whose 5 years older than me?

[Anonymous]

I’m 18 and met this guy at an event. Didn’t really notice him until he sent me a follow request after I got home. I stalked his profile and god he’s so my type. But he’s 23. I realize it sounds weird but imagine if I were 20 and him 25 its not bad then right? What do I even do im confused !! I haven’t felt this way about someone in ages.

That is so cute You are just adorable.

Tak a deep breath blink your eyes a few times. Get some blood back in to brain

Im happy for you because you sound so happy

First things first. Don't start reading things. i look into his eyes as he's speaking to you.
That's if he turns his head away if he keeps staring into your eyes. to you should really pay attention to. What are you talking to you about?
Because. If he lies to you he will tell you the truth in the same breath.

Well I'm happy for you
It be nice to you. He will tell you the truth in the same breath.

But the question is, what did you learn about yourself that feeling that you said you haven't felt for a long time. Do you understand what that is that is energy connecting with energy? And that's what we look for in life it goes deeper than just dodging a bullet should tell you something about yourself too. You should learn something about yourself and understand it because it's just going to be deeper and deeper and better and better. The more you do

My Aunt was 12 years older then my Uncle and they had a very successful relationship and marriage. They had kids and many grandkids that loved them very much. Some weirdos make far too much about age differences when age is just a number.

No. 18 and 23 is close enough in age and mindset and both are legally adults. 20 and 25 are not that far off in maturity level either. I know 25 sounds old to people your age, cause yeah it sounded old to me back then too lol... But it really isn't and I'm sure you won't see it that way in your 20's either.

There's basically five years between my boyfriend and I, you're right, as you get older it won't seem like a huge difference.

[Knightwatch27]

It's not unheard of. Many young girls like older guys.

[Asker]

rightt but when I mentioned this to my sister she went all “ohh he's so old” “5 years?”

[Knightwatch27]

Different tastes

[slatyb]

Not at all. Five years will be nothing ten years from now. If you like him, let him know.

[slatyb]

Here's the key thing -- he has to treat you as a partner, not a child to be trained. What were you plans before you met him?

[Anonymous]

He likes the age dif. You have a lot to learn and not jaded yet. If he's chasing kids and not someone his own age at that age it shows something wrong with him.

[Asker]

We had a convo at texts only once (i replied) and it was short nothing much. And as of rn he's focused on his career I think..

[HighValue]

Nothing wrong with it. What matters is if you have compatible morals and compatible long term life goals.

[Anonymous]

To the retarded Anonymous poster who doesn't allow replies, he's only 23. He's not chasing kids.

[RavVid]

5 years is not a big gap. If you like him be receptive.

[Ironco]

It's not that big of a gap as you think, you'll be fine. Just take your time and see where things go.

And at your age, just have fun with it.

[Tom567456]

Five years is very little. I think it's fine, if you're 18; or older

[jahaims]

A senior in college shouldn't be compatible with a high schooler

[BarryLiverstone]

Ya, because you don’t know much about him, you just like how he looks

[exitseven]

5 years is not a big deal.

[DishLady]

Yeah, so weird...

[SotiCoto]

Whose what is 5 years older than you?

[MasterKS]

pretty normal i guess.

[In_Trance]

not really
