Now this maybe a over thinking question but just to check.

I worked with a girl over the past year and well I didn’t think anything of it but we really got on well and seemed to have a laugh.

Anyway now she has got another Job and we don’t work with each other anymore but stay in contact via text.

Now the thing is at 26 should I count a 18 Year old girl as a friend? I mean I naturally picky with friends and only have a select through.

Also its not on a fancying level as she has got a boyfriend and I just see her as a mate.

She is quite mature and not just a gobby teenager that likes getting drunk , also I speak to her about things I can’t with lad mates

But year is this too odd .

Thank you

Dionee' agony auntIt's not weird. It's weird if you over-think it to the point that you make yourself feel like it's weird.

Honeypie agony auntNot really. Friends kind of cross age boundaries a lot more than relationships.

And.... as long as the BF doesn't see it as a problem.

As a friend? Not at all. As anything more? It would be. Since you only want friendship, keep it as a work friendship where you do chat about life but you don't go out of your way to talk to each other - then feelings tend to get involved.

ImissFuturama agony auntI wouldn't over think this. A good friend is a good friend, regardless of their age or gender. It's not like you're talking to an underage girl, and you're not trying to date her anyway.

If her parents and boyfriend have no problem with it, you're keeping it light; then it's not weird.

Sometimes people may judge age-differences; because sometimes it is weird. If you both can relate on the same level and sex is definitely not an issue? What's your real concern? It might be tough for a wife or a girlfriend to swallow.

If you live in a small-town where neighbors are nosy and/or judgmental; then there will be talk and fish-eyes. If you behave maturely and responsibly yourself, never mind that.
