I am 17 and I met this guy at a bar. He is 21 and I just wonder if other people think that is too old for me. Should I go out with him again? We exchanged phone numbers and we have talked on the phone. Any and all responses are appreciated.
MissBonne answered Tuesday January 9 2007, 11:13 am: There are a few red flags here, he's 21, you met him at a bar and you're asking about the age gap.
If you meet guys at a bar, you get guys who like to drink. While in some cases - its not bad, but most aren't the type of guys you need to date.
If you told him you're 17 and you know he's 21, meeting at the bar only leads to one thing. If you're just game for hooking up, then go out with him and talk to him again.
Next, if you were comfortable with the age gap, you wouldn't be looking for reassurance here.

Age difference isn't a big thing and you guys are only a few years apart, so that's not a big deal at all. My boyfriend and I are four years a part and it doesn't bother anyone. If you like him, that is all that should matter. [ MummuM's advice column | Ask MummuM A Question ]
Xenolan answered Monday January 8 2007, 9:00 pm: No, he's not too old for you as far as the relationship being weird or illegal. However, have you considered that since you met in a bar, he might be under the impression that you're 21? You do owe it to him to reveal your true age if you intend to date.

But age is nothing but a number, if yall hit it off and are interested in eachother then go for it. [ Xo_Blondii_oX's advice column | Ask Xo_Blondii_oX A Question ]
