So, for the record, I'm sitting in the middle of class right now. It is currently 6:05pm PST, and I have class until 7. My head hurts, I need sleep, I'm cranky, and I want my Mami.*
This week was incredibly long and arduous. I did have a date last night, though.
It was...interesting. Not bad, I guess. Just...interesting.
He was really nice, and clearly into me. But I think he was just too young for me. He just turned 20, and I turn 24 in a month. I know for all intents and purposes, it's not a big gap. But the more I think about it, the more I feel like it is. I really felt his age at different points in the evening, based on the way he acted or spoke. And he felt too...eager.
I feel like a 20-year-old guy has way more in common with an 18-year-old than a 24-year-old.
I don't know. What do you think? Is age really only a number? Or does it make a difference?
Discuss.
*"Mami" = "Mommy" in Spanish

Hey, I'm married so long I have no perspective. Nonetheless, I'd say if you like him, age isn't a problem. If you don't, move on.
ReplyDeleteI can definitely understand your hesitation. Four years isn't really a huge gap, ultimately, but a 20-year-old, as compared to a 24-year-old, is in a different walk of life. I'd find it harder to connect romantically to someone who hadn't gone through the same big events yet.
ReplyDeleteIf you like him, though, give him another shot. His eagerness might have just been first-date related.
