I’m 22 just graduated college. I’ve been talking with a girl on Bumble, I thought she was 19 idk y. But I just saw she’s 18. Now I feel weird about talking to her. She’s a sophomore so she’ll probably be 19 soon but still. Is it weird? I like her tho

Some people might say it’s weird but I don’t think it’s really that bad tbh. It’s kinda on the cusp. But you’re both college aged and as long as u actually have stuff in common and u weren’t going for her BECAUSE she’s 18 I don’t rly think it’s that big of a deal tbh

If you think about it, we’re all 9 months older than we think. In the US we start age at the day you were born, not conceived…. Also, as someone who is 33. There is no difference between 18 and 19 in terms of “maturity.” Both are equally young and immature. If it works out, when you’re 33 she will be 29. Not so weird on the grand scale of life. Or at all really.

Well….she is immature considering she’s 4 years younger than you. My suggestion is to find someone who’s within your age, b/c they get you better and you have same shared experiences w someone closer to your age.

i really don’t get why people are saying this is weird, i was 21 when i met my husband and he was 25 and yeah we were in slightly different life stages but we both had the same values and goals in life so it didn’t really affect us at all

No I genuinely thought she was 19 for some reason. I’m trying to look for girls 19-23 because 18 just seems a little weird as a 22 y/o

Yeah I gotcha. I think it is fine for you to date her if you like her and you shouldn’t worry too much about the age gap, but also understand if it’s your reason for breaking things off if it feels too weird to you. Tbh I think it’s kinda in the gray area where you just need to make a choice that you can defend ya know
