Kathleeenie agony auntGirls tend to mature quicker than guys. This is why most girls tend to go for guys who are a few years old. I have only ever been out with guys a few months younger up to 3 years older.

If this girl likes you maybe she's worried about what people would say. Have you tried asking her about it?

Maybe her friends all have older boyfriends?

She shouldnt worry what they think, long as she's happy thats all that matters.

However not all girls are like this my mate is rather immature for her age and tends to go for guys a year or 2 younger.

Theres not really alot you can do apart from talking to her about it. Have a honest grown up conversation. Good luck sorry i couldnt help more.

softballplaya agony auntunfortunately we live in a day and age where in relationships the guy should be older and mature & stuff (its very unrealistic) but people see a proper relationship must be like this. Your right age is just a number and people can be months days or years apart. If this girl wont date you becasue you were born a year later then her then she really isnt worth it. Honestly its very stupid and pointless to care about this because it cant be altered so she needs to get with it or get lost. I really think the biased idea about how the guy is the older one is stupid because just because your young dosent mean your young minded.

Stayc63088 agony auntMost likely it is your ages right now. When I was in school it was a big deal dating someone younger but now being in the twenties it doesn't matter at all. There is something about dating a lower grade I guess. Any girl who cares so much about it shouldn't be bothered with anyway. Let her have her hang ups and meet someone who doesn't put so much on just a number. Good luck.

Tremor agony auntIt's always been fine for girls to date older guys, so I don't see why it should be any different the other way around. If you like one another enough, then it shouldn't be a problem.

However, if she doesn't want to date you because of your age, then that is her decision. Everyone has preferences, senseless though they may be.
