Too old?
My friends and I are 17. I'll be 18 soon. One of my friend's bf is 21. I always thought that was a little strange until one night him and a couple of his friends came over and they were all so nice. I can really see why she'd go for an older guy because they are so much more mature and interesting to talk to.
Anyways, me and one of his friends who is also 21 hit it off. He was really flirty and really nice. Everyone says hes a nice guy too. We've been talking and he wants to hang out and stuff.
When I was with those guys I felt like we were all the same age. I mean as the saying goes, age doesnt matter. Most of my friends think its great but a couple are like WHAT ARE YOU DOING? Idk I feel like as long as he doesn't make me feel uncomfortable it shouldn't matter... is there anything wrong with a fling with someone a few years older?
Thanks so much!

There's absolutely nothing wrong with flirting with a guy 3 years older than you. :]
Man, I'm 19 and my boyfriend is 25. Most people I know, even my parents (although not at first haha), are perfectly ok with it, and that's TWICE the age difference as you and the guy you were flirting with.
Generally, guys mature slower than girls anyway, so it's almost like you're the same age. And like you said, as long as he makes you feel comfortable and is respectful of you, then it shouldn't matter. :]

Girls mature faster than boys, which means that women are usually more mature than men - being attracted to an older man is not an issue. Also, having the ability to communicate with him and feel comfortable is great. You are about to be 18, and there is NOTHING wrong with seeing a 21 year old.
If you still live with your parents and he will be visiting their house, please give them the respect of letting them know that you are seeing someone older and make sure they are cool with it, since it is their house. Always respect your parent's house, regardless.
The couple of friends who are like WHAT ARE YOU DOING, are not on the same level as you and most likely aren't going to understand your reasoning of seeing an older man - which is cool, this is your business, your life, and your happiness, not theirs. Unless they have supportive reasoning of asking your reasoning, beyond his age - I would pay them no attention. Hell, it could be jealousy, especially if the person they are dating or seeing is immature or doesn't exist!
A 3 year age difference isn't that big of a deal, seriously dear heart.
Have fun, be safe and enjoy life!

I think its ok. Age doesn't matter and that is true about if he isn't making you uncomfortable then it should fine. I know a couple who are 10 years apart so age didn't stop them. I hope everything goes well for you.
