Like, I'm 14, & theres a huge difference from when I was 12. If your all clingy, & stuff.. you look retarded. & guys don't usually like that. Plus, if hes older then you, & say your only like 13.. or something, then also the way you look. You could still look like a little girl to him too. & hes not gonna wanna date someone that reminds him of his little sister, type thing. You know what I mean? Even though age isn't a number..but if your younger, it kinda is. However old you are, think about a person 2 years younger then you.. would you seriously want to date them? Its just something you need to think about, like put yourself in his shoes. Even though you like him alot, if he doesn't like you for you & stuff.. then hes also, not worth your time. Theres plenty of boys your age.. like them. (: [ holahayley56's advice column | Ask holahayley56 A Question ]

For instance, if you are 12 and he is 14, it is a much, much bigger difference than if you were 16 and he was 18! If the two year difference includes different levels of education, that may make him think of you as immature. If you are in high school and he is in college, then he's going through a "stage" lots of guys do, believing that being in college has all of a sudden made him a sophisticated man.
There really isn't anything you can do to make him think of you as more mature. (Anything you might try would only be silly or sad or pretentious). All you can really do is be yourself! Don't wait around for him--have fun with your friends and other guys--and as time goes on, he may see things differently. (Wouldn't it be funny if you then thought HE was immature???!) gigi [ gigi313's advice column | Ask gigi313 A Question ]
Teza answered Sunday January 14 2007, 6:18 pm: It seems like he already has his mind made up. You can't change the fact that you're younger and you shouldn't do anything to prove that you're not immature. If he really liked you, he would of taken the time to actually get to know you. It's hard to understand that because you really like him, but guys like that turn out to be jerks. Guys like him are embarassed about what their friends might think and he's not worth it.
