Is it awkward that a 19 year old is crushing on me when I'm almost 30?

It’s probably not typical, but I wouldn't call it “weird”.

[Asker]

I suppose so, just never happened to me before

[Abbycado]

I don’t think it will be that common. A lot of girls like the thought of someone that is more mature and have their life together. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[Abbycado]

I should say that it is only weird or awkward if you think it is. She obviously doesn’t.

[Asker]

Well actually, I am interested in going out with her

[Abbycado]

Ask her out then. Hope it works out for both of you.

[Asker]

Thanks! I was a bit concerned the age difference would be too much, but I really do like her.

It’s not awkward on its own , younger people get crushes all the time.

What matters is the gap in maturity, not the gap in years.

A 19 yo is still figuring out who they are, while someone close to 30 usually wants stability, clarity, and real partnership.

A crush isn’t a problem.

Acting on it might be.

So it’s only awkward if you pretend the dynamic is equal when it isn’t.

No that’s cool… lots of girls like older guys… once you go beyond a 10 yr difference I’ll catch myself sounding old talking about how much gas used to be or whatever

[Alex-Snow]

It happened and I do not think it is weird but the age difference is kind of big

It’s not inherently “awkward,” but it’s a big age gap, and your life stages are very different, so dynamics could feel off. How you handle it matters: set clear boundaries if it’s unwanted, or keep it casual and friendly if it’s harmless. A dating coach can also give advice on navigating age-gap interactions smoothly.

Age gaps are all the rage. You can talk to our age gap troll about it.

[Anonymous]

Well, you're lucky.

[Asker]

I guess so, just got a date with her.

Great, have fun.

If it's a girl no. Their legally adults at 18.

[In_Trance]

Stay away from younger guys

[diam0ndsnow]

not ok for me
