So I met this really awesome girl, and we both really like each other a lot, but she's a year older than me. Were both in different high school schools, so itl be hard to find time too see each other a lot, but summers coming up so that mightbe an advantage, so I just want to know if that would be to akward or what her friends would think of me. Or any ways to make time. Thanks in advance

She's one year older than you? That's not much, why do you think this would be a problem?

Well the age is t really my problem, its more how other people would react to it, and that it would be hard to find time with each other.

Its only a problem if you make it a problem. I know its different when your in school but in the real world one year is nothing to be concerned about.

Thanks for the advice. Do you know any ways to make time to see her? Because I was recently in an accident, and now can't do much so its a lot harder now to find something to do with her

There's loads you can do, order take out, watch films, play board games, I know it sounds silly but its fun, I'm 24 and still love all the classic board games with my partner. Get well soon!

It is just fine to date a person who is a little older than you. One year truly will not make that much of a difference. If she likes you and you like her it should not matter what her friends think of your age. If this is something you are really worried about then ask her how she feels about it.

Good luck

I once had a girlfriend who was a year older then me. Nothing was weird about it, but I guess its not "traditional"

I have almost the same problem, but me and the girl have a two and a half year gap, but she's spectacular. I met her about a week ago on a cruise and turns out that we live in the same city. I'm a bit nervous to ask her out, she might just laugh at me. This is SOOO confusing, because until yesterday I thought she was my age, she looks younger. She's a optimistic and nice to everyone, but I try to make light of most things, I have a pretty messed up, suicide attempt filled and depressing past. I feel much better now, in regards to my previous tendencies, but having her around I feel like she's pulling me into a (more) positive mindset and we contrast each other but get along great. She's very attractive, and me and my best friend had a bet on who could make out with her first. Along trying to get closer to her, and it's making me a bit crazy trying to learn more about her. I have no idea if this is just a teenager fling thing, but even the short time that I was with her, I've never felt like this before, even in other relationships.
