So today I met a girl. Like, I have known of her for years (in church social groups there will be people who you hear a lot about but may take ages to meet. She is one of them) but never met her until today. And honestly, she was really cool, and I was pretty interested in her. Then I found out she is four years older than me.

This isn't the first time. I hate how hard it is to tell someone's age in my age bracket. I thought she'd be two years older than me max, but she is 25!

I know what you're thinking. "Age is just a number." Thing is, it isn't. There is such a difference in maturity level in those few years. She has travelled and lived overseas without her parents. Meanwhile if my parents go away for a few days I live off microwave food, fast food and only clean the house when I have guests over. She has finished uni. Meanwhile I am taking my time to do an already long course because I am not in the mental state to handle the stress of full time uni and finding time to work to pay bills.

Even if her and I were to end up together, to her, it'd probably be like dating a kid.

I don't really know what specifically I am complaining about. More the fact that I cannot tell people's ages well and this has happened before. Can we start walking around with age tags or something??
That sucks man, all I can really say is that if it doesn't really matter to her or you, than give it a try, who knows maybe the more time you spend with her the closer the maturity gap will get.

But the age tag thing, that would be horrible for me XD, the list of things that I'm "too old for" would be a mile long. Me and a buddy of mine always talk jokingly about why we're still single with all the "talents" we have. "Hi my name is wooks, I've got a 1.8 K/D in call of duty, impressed right?..." I don't know why that doesn't work LOL
