Ok so Im a 18/f
umm well I like this guy hes 22 and he seems to like me back. we have a lot in common, we go to the same church and for me thats a big plus.
the thing is that well sometimes i get the impression that he really likes me and this kinda worries me sometimes because of the age gap.im afraid that hed either play me because im younger or want a super serious relationship because of his age. i really dont know what i would do if he ask me out. my friends tell me that guys his age already think of marriage and Im definitely not ready for that but I do have feelings for this guy but I dont know what I should do
any advice anyone?
Me and my wife are 7 years apart and we have been together for 10 years now. We dated for 2 or 3 before marriage even entered my mind. Guys are a little slower in this area and want to be sure they are not getting trapped into a relationship. If he does ask you out or vise versa if he starts being to quick to get married then then he maybe looking for more that a marriage. Be careful and go with the flow...

Just because he is older than you (by a small amount may I add), it doesn't mean he wants marriage. Some people are ready for marriage at your age, so going by what your friends say isn't a good thing to believe.
The way I see it is, you both like each other and would go well together. If I were you and got asked out, I'd say yes.
The age gap of 4 years shouldn't worry you, to be honest.
If he does ask you out, you could tell him the things you are worried about and he will put your mind at ease.
Seems like you're just over thinking things.
Stop worrying and take it as it comes.
Very best of luck. [ thelaura's advice column | Ask thelaura A Question ]

All my guy friends are around that age, none of them are planning on marrying anytime soon. I think this generation raised the age of marriage bar way higher than it used to be. I'd say late 20s.. so you guys might have a way to go. Bottom line, if you see yourself with this man, and he asks you out.. why wouldn't you say yes? Be true to yourself, and don't let what your friends say influence that. [ AEangel589's advice column | Ask AEangel589 A Question ]

Just take the relationship easy and take things slow. If he wont respect you and do things when your ready then he's not worth it.
Don't judge him if you don't know him very well. Give him the benefit of the doubt and have fun.
I personally think your friends are wrong. It's very rarely these days that a 22yr old guy is willing to commit majorly and get married. I've been with my boyfriend for 3 years and he's 21 and we've got a long way to go yet.
