writes: Hi everybody,My girlfriend and I fell out over a week ago because I was stupid enough to doubt our relationship and my commitment etc, we have spoken though and have decided to go back out and give it another go because we still love each other etc. Now I am 21 and she is 16, we have spoken about the age gap at the start but we just have so much fun with each other we just forget about it, both our friends and family know about it and they are all ok with it because we do feel strong about each other. The problem is that now we are back together how should I go about it? I want to make this time even better than the last and prove that she made the right choice by giving me another chance. How would I go about this? Please help as I really do love her and she loves me and I want to make this work and not 4 weeks down the line we both fall out again. Thank you so much for your time Reply to this Question Share |

reader, anonymous, writes (19 November 2008): I wouldn't worry about the age gap. She is legal, you are both happy, your families both approve, no problem there (or at least not right now.) Any way as you both get older, the gap won't matter so much.
I suggested this to another guy who's girlfriend started to doubt him, he used it and said it really worked so it might work in your situation too:
Write a list of all the things you like about her and why you like them.
Also make a list of your favourite memories together and why they are your favourite.
As you spend more time together and new things happen, keep adding to the list.
Also plan lots of things to do together - going to the cinema, bowling, the seaside in summer, shopping (yes you might not enjoy it but it's worth doing it once to keep her happy!) Even a cosy night in. Give her variety. The things she likes doing most will soon become clear so do them more often =]
