So I've been seeing this guy for a few months and there is a four-year age difference. I am 18 and he is 22. I've met his parents and a lot of his friends and all of them were super nice, but the other night I asked him how his parents felt about me being young. He said, "My mom hates it" and she always brings up thing I'm still in high school. His dad is fine with it though.
The impression I leave on parents is really important to me. I know it's nothing personal about me, i'm a nice girl, but she can't see past the age thing I guess. This just really upsets me and I don't know what to do. It isn't something I can change. My age is my age. Any tips or comforting words? Thanks!

Like the person said before me, it's only a number. And you can't help how old you are. She'll get over it if she cares about her son. She wants him to be happy and if hes happy then your part of the picture.

After a while she'll get over it, especially if he likes you like you like him. Maybe it will go further. Good luck! [ AnonymousAdvisor's advice column | Ask AnonymousAdvisor A Question ]
