The title is basically the jist of it. He’s 20, I am 22(F).
Some backstory…I have actively been avoiding the dating scene, and haven’t seriously considered a boyfriend until recently. I told myself I didn’t want to date unless I really get along well with a guy. This guy is so, sooo sweet. I’m just so hung up over the age gap. He’s not even legal drinking age yet(not that it matters, I don’t drink). He’s also younger than my sister by a few months. My friend expressed concern about it because she thinks “I am 22 going on 28”, mentally. This is because I do not drink, party, smoke, and am actively focused on my career. But physically, I look really young, I still get carded to buy lottery tickets. I am also shorter than the guy. Basically…he looks older than me. So when I figured out his age I was crushed, and I have been trying to block my feelings ever since.
I don’t know, I just feel like a weirdo for even CONSIDERING dating a guy born 2 years and 1 month after me. Is it that big of a deal?
TLDR; Is it weird to date a guy 2 years younger than me?
