Age Gap

[braydon123]

So, there's this girl at my work who I like and I have a feeling that she likes me back because sometimes girls make it really obvious. I am 17 and she is about to turn 16, would it be weird if a 17 year old asked out a 15 year old? When I first met her I thought she was older that me because she is mature but I was wondering if that is too high of an age gap.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I personally think that's a fine age gap. Others will obviously disagree with me. It's only a 2 year gap so you shouldn't worry in my opinion. I think that when there's a significant age gap in a relationship, it's fine when both partners put in 50/50 and no one's using the other sexually. It all depends, but in your case, it's okay. Hope this helped :)

Thanks, actually helped me a lot.

My brother dates a girl thats 3-4 years younger than him and they've been together for a good while. I think age gaps don't matter when both boy and girl are older and more mature

Now I just have to think of a good time to ask her out. Thanks again for the advice guys.

I am going to ramble my opinion about age gap while at the same time answering your question so stay with me :)

I think when say a 14 year old goes out with someone who is 19, I think that is inappropriate. Now some of you might think "wow, my mum is 24 and my dad is 29 when they met, how come that is not inappropriate?". Well the answer is simple, they were mature and both legal adults. At that age they are capable of making the correct decision. Where as a 14yrold going out with a 19yrold would be slightly weird and possibly incorrect because of the age gap and the fact they are both not legal adults.

Now to answer your question. I think it is fine, she will almost be 16 and the age gap is rather small and as long as no one is pressured into doing anything then I see no problem. I wish you two the best of luck and hope all goes well when you ask her out if you do end up asking her out.

I was worried you were going to say she was 13.

15 soon to be 16 with a 17 year old's perfectly fine. That's about 2 year maybe 1 year gap. When it comes to teens dating, anything under 2.5 years is good.

I'm going to be asking her tomorrow when we work together, wish me luck!

Good luck! : D

She acts really weird around me, for example I would be sitting with her Mom (manager at the restaurant at the Golf Course I work at) she will come over and act all shy and whisper stuff in her ear. Any ideas of what this could be. Before anyone asks, her Mom has said in the past that she wants her daughter to marry someone like me (super awkward).

[braydon123]

anyone?

Maybe she's just shy? Or feels awkward in front of her mum. When my mum met my ex that was horrifically awkward could it just be that?

Just for an update, things are going really well, she is starting most of our conversations now and I decided to wait for the right time to ask her out rather than decide the day and try to force it. We are much more comfortable around each other now that we have gotten to know each other better so I think the right time to ask her out will come sooner rather than later.

Well that's good! Yeah, honestly the age isn't a huge difference, so I wouldn't be so worried about dating her! And it's good that your waiting till it's the right time to ask her! How bout go on a date or two! By doing that, you guys can test each other romantically to see if you guys are right for each other! And when you do go on a date, do something fun! Like go to a park and play soccer or something, maybe go to a theme park! You don't have to always go on dinner dates to sit and just stare and talk to each other, because you can easily do that at school or something.

I was gonna ask her to go to our local fair the next time I see her because I think that would be a good starting point.

Another guy asked her out so I told her how I felt and she said that she felt the same towards me but then said she was happy with him. The waiting game ensues.

[dontfiguremeout]

Umm, honestly it's not worth it anymore! She's bound to cheat on both of you if she feels the same way for both of you at the same time! I say, go find another girl who is worth your time who doesn't seek two guys at the same time!

[braydon123]

I don't think she actually likes him, she just doesn't want to look bad to her friends/people at her school which I can understand. I am going to talk to her tomorrow about it after work.

Another update, we are going to the mall together and I'm going to ask her to go to the movies then as well. She broke up with the guy mentioned because she wasn't feeling it.
