there's quite an age gap between us (she's 22).
but she doesn't seem to mind...
How old are you, if you don't mind me asking?
I tried dating a 22 year old last year. She was fun and was pretty mature for her age, but at times her immaturity would show leaving me painfully aware I was dating a 22 year old. I ended things and there was this long awkward stretch of months where she'd contact me from time to time and express that she was still interested in me. It made me feel like crap. Turned out good in the end for her. Just last month she married a guy who makes about three times the amount of money I do, and now spends her time traveling with him and taking pictures (she's an amateur photographer). So it goes.
Presently, there is this really gorgeous 22 year old I am interested in, but I'm a bit cautious. It is such a different stage of life. This girl thinks she knows everything and radiates this extremely attractive air of confidence. But I think I only admire that in the context in which I know her. That is just such an annoying stage of life, those early twenties when you feel like you've tapped into all the knowledge of the universe and can't possibly learn anything you don't already know. Yeah, I honestly don't think I could ever have a relationship with 22 year old again.
well, i'm in my mid 40's now.. but fortunately i don't act or look it
(so i'm told).. maybe more like a 30something... no kids.. no wife.
this is only the 2nd girl i've dated, and the previous one was 23..
in fact most of the girls that i meet range from 19-27.
i'm trying not to make things complicated, because the older
they are, the more chances they might have kids, or be divorced
etc.
i can't really be too serious about things because i don't really
know what i'm doing just yet. i didn't date in high school or
college, because my parents didn't let me. they are traditional
indians who believe in arranged marriages. we are also christian,
so there's not many indian women that i could meet either.
at this point, they're happy that i'm dating.. but they would
prefer that i would be married. i don't know if i can handle
older more experienced women, because their expectations
and behaviours are very different.
later
