katy_katt Posted September 14, 2003 Share Posted September 14, 2003 I haven't been here in a while but something has been bugging me and I hope someone can help. I began going to college this year after a few years of being out of school. There's this guy that sits in front of me and from the first day we hit it off really well...we went out with some other ppl from my class that weekend, have been going to lunch together every day, and hanging out whenever we could. We always had a great time and he makes me laugh so much! A couple of days ago a bunch of ppl from my class went to the local watering hole for a fun night out. I was dancing and singing with him, having a great time, and asked him if he wanted to go out this weekend and he agreed. Later on, the subject of age came up in the conversation and he found out that I was 25, and I found out he is only 18! The next day he didn't really talk to me that much and went for lunch with other ppl. I tried calling him last night to go out and he said he had to work and he'd call me tomorrow, but I didn't hear from him all night. I'm not trying to be a 'cougar' or anything...at the most I would just love to hang with him as friends because he's so fun but it's like he didn't want anything to do with me once he found out how old I was. Why is he suddenly ignoring me? Am I weird for wanting to hang out with him even though he's so much younger than me? I still feel almost too young at heart so this whole age thing is really starting to get me down. There is only one other person in my class my age and we have nothing in common. . .everybody else is 17-20, but mostly 18, and I don't really feel like I fit in with them either. Our class of 30 remains the same throughout the two years of the program, and we're pretty much segregated from the rest of the school, as our classes are in a separate building. To top it off, I had to move to a completely different city and I don't know anybody here...but I wasn't really feeling too lonely or sad until this happened. What to do, what to do?

moimeme Posted September 14, 2003 Share Posted September 14, 2003 Age really is a matter of mind. Some people feel antique at 30, others are youthful into their dotage. He may have an issue - to him, the numbers are more than numbers. I'm told the Ashton-Demi thing is becoming quite the fad as younger men are venturing into new realms of exploration. Your guy may not be into that. Stinks, but there you are, unfortunately. Link to post Share on other sites
