In love with a college girl

[JasonB]

I'm only 16, a junior in high school, and I'm in love with an 19 year old college sophomore.

When we hang out, every time I realize we have more and more in common. She likes the same TV shows I do, she has the exact same sense of humor as I do, and we could probably talk about something for 24 hours straight. Add on to the fact that she's one of the prettiest girls I've become friends with - but the problem is, she's basically an adult...getting her life together...taking big steps in her career through college...I'm a kid...still haven't graduated...just got my driver's license...ugh.

The other problem is, I really feel like she might like me too, but there's really not much to do about it because of the age difference.

My solution is to get over her...because in two weeks anyways, she's moving in to her school and I won't see her again for another year (at work).

But how do I get over her? It's too dang hard. Help!!

It's a good attitude to have, to realise that it is impractical for a relationship to happen between the 2 of you. That is very mature. When people come into our lives and we connect really well with them, it becomes really easy to become attached to them. I've clicked like that with one or two people before. I think the best way to get over a situation like that is to spend as much time as reasonably possible with other friends and doing other things you enjoy. I think you'll find, the longer she is gone away, the easier it will become. You'll be ok.

I hear you, pal. I've liked my share of older women (although they didn't like me in return ever). My best advice would be to try and move on if you have an inkling it won't work.

I had the same issue with a guy. You will get over it quicker than you think.

Aw that sucks bro, it's always very hard to like someone or even love someone that you can't possibly have :/. Hopefully you can get over her in good time.

Keep in touch woth her than get together when your 18

Her being 19 shouldn't stop you. I've been with a 24 year old when I was 16. So I say you tell her and then after a year maybe you guys can go out or you can have a kinda long distance relationship?
