A female United States age 41-50, anonymous writes:

Wow I'm so unlucky i really like this guy and just found out today he's 8yrs younger (I guessed he would just be 5 yrs younger)..I think he already knew I was older cuz I think he asked my so called friend about me, and I think she just told him without him asking her that I'm older..so today we were having our 2nd conversation and he asked how old I was, i told him to guess and he just said he doesn't know, I told him my age and he didn't seem surprised, then he asked if i knew how old he was then he made me guess, then he said he's 17.....

I asked him what he and his friends like to do then he said they like to drive around and they like to drink, and he also mentioned that he like to drink even though he is underage...Is this guy totally hardcore rejecting me? He showed interest in me before..and today I kind of asked him out and I'm not sure if he heard me or not cuz he was kind of leaving when i said it, he nodded his head, and I swear I heard him say 'maybe' and when I asked him out, I think his friends kind of heard me, and they all turned their heads towards me really quick..and then that's when i saw a little nod from him and swear i heard him say maybe..

So its been really confusing..some days he'll show hints of interest or really pay attention to my actions, then some days he's just like hesitating or ignores me altogether..I don't know what I should do, I know I'm really falling for this guy hard, should I just back off a little and be patient?

QnsNotorious agony auntAlight what I think you should do is try to find someone your own age or older .

if this kid is younger than youh and he's 17 that's illegal .

I'm not saying its completely wrong because age is nothing but a number and for love numbers don't matter. Ask him, if he likes you as much as you than fight for what you want

Thirds guy is 8 years younger. For a 17-year old male, drinking and hanging out with friends really can be a #1 activity, i don't think he's trying to blow you off or anything, maybe he's just being truthful.

If you're accustomed to dating older guys, you are going to have a hard time adjusting to a guy this young, his signals will seem confusing and you may misinterpret them over and over and over again. I bet you are already starting to realize that ...

How could you ask him out and not get a definite answer one way or the other? That's worse than not doing anything at all !! You are in a state now, aren't you ?? Welcome to the world of being a guy, asking people out isn't so easy, isn't it ?? - Guy.
