I'm really something special to him, he's in his early 20's and I'm his first girlfriend so you could imagine how chuffed with it. But the problem is he thinks im a few years older than I am, which really isn't good, I don't know how or when to tell him the truth, I'm scared of what's going to happen, as the relationship we've got is amazing, we've even spoke about marriage and it's only been a few months, someone please help, this is driving me insane.x Reply to this Question Share |

Hi..
I think you should just tell him your real age, because you dont want things to progress with everything being based on a lie. If you are really something special to him, then hopefully he wont be livid about the situation.
Maybe just say sorry for lying to him, and then explain why you found it hard to tell him after you met him and maybe this will make him less angry about the situation, if he is.
Tell him as soon as you can, but dont be surprised if he isnt too happy about the situation. And can i just say, that you shouldn't lie about your age on a site, or meet another person unless you know them, because for all you know, they could be lying about there age too and be older than they really are. On this occasion, you are ok, but just be careful (:(:
Good Luck, i hope it all goes well for you (:
