It's never long term
Female. 13.
I'm mature for my age. Not boasting or whatever, it's just a wellknown fact for people who know me well. Well, I'm not talking about a relationship until marriage or whatever, but nothing between me and a boy ever lasts. I went to a Christian school for my whole life up until this year, so all the guys were to nerdy and weird to ask ANYONE out, so that kind of ruined it for me. I'm in 8th grade now and I go to a public school and a super big church. Guys always ask me for my number and stuff and we talk, but it never sticks. Mostly it's guys 15 and up, but, that's what I like because boys my age are grossly immature and little.
And, usually it's not my personality that makes it not stick, sometimes it's my age. When I was ten I'd have 15 year olds ask me out, then when they found out I was 10 they ignored me.
So, my question is, how can I make stuff last longer and how can I make people forget about my age?
Thanks :]

sorry for the late answer, But it i guess it wouldnt hurt:-)
I am m/16 Junior in high school and I can see where you're coming from. I personnaly have a longing/desire for a good/mature/intelligent girlfriend who I can share my time with. not marraige or anything, but just a girlfriend. I too went to a private school for a few years and I can understand what you are going through. My advice to you is wait. That is what I am doing ;) I have found a few girls (freshman) who I think share that logic and I guess if I wasnt so selective I would ask them out. I feel they are a bit to young for me so we just remain aquantence's. Once you get into high school things will turn for the better for you. There is alot more maturity in people who are older then you. Once in high school the age barriers change slightly and it is not so "uncommon" to see a girl dating someone 2-3 even 4 years older. if the two are on the same level maturity wise the only thing i can see stopping them is Body diffrence (development, size etc etc...) A close friend of mine (also a junior) is going out with a sophmore in college. My brother also went out with a younger girl when he was in college (18-16). Some guys take awhile to "mature" or at least meet your expectations. well, dont sell out I hope you wait and get the guy you want

Be your self and keep it real in your relationship tell the truth and make sure the guy respect you for who you are and not what you are trying to be.

I understand EXACTLY! I'm 14, and I am attracted to older guys too. Sometimes 20 and older! It can seem odd to people, but I think it has to do with hormone levels. (It is a fact that girls mature faster than boys, which is why they fall for older guys!)
You will eventually find a great guy. Even though it may seem like it now, not all boys are going to stay immature. Once you get into 9th Grade, boys start maturing more.
If someone doesn't want to be with you because or your age, then forget them! But I also have to warn you that there are older guys out there who are going to try to take advantage of you. (I have experienced this firsthand.) You have to be extra careful.
If you can, try and wait a little while, who says you have to have a boyfriend right this second, anyways? Or, try to get to know a guy in your grade, even if they act goofy sometimes, theres often a whole other serious side to guys. (I found that out with one of my guy friends!)
Things will get better. If you respect yourself, and if guys know you're not desperate and that you're not going to give in to every demand, then someone is bond to fall for you soon. :]]

I hate to say this, but age really does mean something! A fifteen year old has nothing in common with a ten year old. Even though you're mature (I was too) it makes a huge difference. Think about a 13 year old dating an 18 year old; their partner is out of high school, and they're still in elementary!
I know this stinks, but until you're at an age where desirable boys can date you without feeling creepy, you're going to have to wait, or just settle for immature boys.
A little piece of advice... it's not the end of the world if you're not dating right now. Enjoy your young teens while you have them! There's plenty of time to date when you're 16+, so just enjoy the single life while you can :)

Well, age seems to linger on boy's midns when they're dating a younger girl. I know that when my bff was going out with a girl that was a year younger than him, me and my friends made it hell for him for about a week XD
Anyways, just show them that you're mature. From the beginning. Then when they figure out your age and still wants to be with you, great. If they don't, screw it. If they're going to judge you on your age, they're not worth it.
