We are extremely close to shutting down this thread for the same reasons the PUA thread was shut down. While some of the time this thread contains actual discussion with people asking help and people giving nice advice, it often gets derailed by rubbish that should not be here. The moderation team will be trying to steer this thread in a different direction from now on. Posts of the following nature are banned: 1) ANYTHING regarding PUA. If your post contains the words 'alpha' or 'beta' or anything of that sort please don't hit post. 2) Stupid brags. You can tell us about your nice success stories with someone, but posts such as 'lol 50 Tinder matches' are a no-no. 3) Any misogynistic bullshit, including discussion about rape culture. 4) One night stands and random sex. These are basically brags that invariably devolve into gender role discussions and misogynistic comments. Last chance, guys. This thread is for dating advice and sharing dating stories. While gender roles, sociocultural norms, and our biological imperative to reproduce are all tangentially related, these subjects are not the main purpose of the thread. Please AVOID these discussions. If you want to discuss them at length, go to PMs or start a blog. If you disagree with someone's ideologies, state that you disagree with them and why they won't work from a dating standpoint and move on. We will not tolerate any lengthy derailments that aren't directly about dating. | ||

On a side note, this happens to me way too often because I go to a community college and half the students there are dual enrolled and trying to tell how old a girl is between 17-20 is impossible. | ||

I agree... as you get older, the "allowable" difference in ages between a couple becomes larger and larger. My parents are 9 years apart, which wasn't a big deal when they got married (and certainly not now, when they're in their sixties)... but could you picture a 10th grader dating a 1st grader? lol. | ||

She's a minor, and she's still in highschool (well, homeschooled, but 12th grade equivolent). The issue with her isn't really maturity since she is definitely more mature than a lot of people my age even, but rather the social stigma attached to the difference in our ages. Maybe in a few years the circumstances will be different, but until then she isn't an option for me. | ||

If she's as mature as you claim it shouldn't be noticed. | ||

I don't feel like confessing your love ever works, or rather works very rarely, because it shows you like them so very strongly and unless they already feel the same way it will be wierd and she will most likely say no. It's much safer to just start flirting with her more directly and let the feelings build gradually or dissipate with little awkwardness if she rejects the flirting. You had that opportunity when watchin movies on her bed together, but failed to capitalize. It would have been wise to wait for/create another moment like that, but hindsight is 20/20. Anyway, don't be angry at her, she didn't dump you, you were never together. You two can still be friends, just as long as you still can act normally around her. why would you still want to be friends with a girl who rejects you. | ||

She is attempting to move up in the company so I was trained to do her job and if she gets this job she applied for I am the favorite to take over afterwards. Relationship wise it's a long story that ends up with me figuring out I was fighting a fight I wasn't going to win anyways. It is what it is, at least when she leaves I get this nice pay bump. Edit: To go along on this top of the 17 year old, I completely agree. Being 23 myself I have a hard time even thinking 18-20 year old girls as legitimate dating options. Idk why, if I found the right girl i would probably think differently but it just feels weird to me for there to be that gap. | ||
