She looks a little too old though :/

It is so important to "grow up", to learn about who you are & what you want to get out of life.

Allways relationships have a chance to work, but you & the other person have to make it work.

Have some fun while your young is my best advice

That said, my wife is about 3 years younger than me and it seems that many of the married people that I know have a similar wife-younger-than-husband dynamic. I guess this is because they say men mature slower than women. I also know people that worry about potential mates being either too much older or younger than they becuase of the difference in shared experiences. But these are all anecdotal and statistical observations that may be irrelavent ot your situation.

As to whether you should enjoy yourself while you are young or try to figure out what you want out of life before settling down, that is an even harder issue. I married fairly young -- I was 22 and my wife was 19. It was the the best thing that ever happened to me and still is. At the same time I am now over 40 and still don't know what I want to get out of life. All along the way, however, I have has a great time as my wife and I both try to figure out what we want to be when we grow up.

I wish you all the best in life.

iBet that she'd be better than me anyway :-\

If it works, it works, and that's all there is to it, as far as I'm concerned.

well... see raWr you could just ask her and see if... you know...

1) Does she seem attractive to you?
2) Does her personality look like it would suit you? (this may contridict itself if you get to know her, never know)
3) Can you get the balls up to say "hi" and start a conversation to at least start a talking relationship?

That's really all there is and letting nature take it's course will decide the rest. Either a more solid relationship will develope or you may find her to be ugly inside and want nothing to do with her.

I know I'm being blunt on this, but over-analyzing just causes delays and/or loss of oppertunity. The age thing itself doesn't mean squat except in legalites, (So no 11 year olds for the Stalker. ). To give you an example, I'll use part of my own past and present. When I was 16, I went out with a girl that was 4 years older. At 18, I was going with a girl that was 27 and at 19 one that was 34. When I was 20, I met my wife who is 2 months younger than me and have been married since. There were other relationships along the way, but those are the ones that stand out the most in my mind. The one thing that started all of my past experiences but one, was just thinking to myself, "She seems pretty cool" and walking up to say hi. You have nothing to lose because you're not with her yet, but everything to gain if things go well. I still believe I had more in common with the older girlfriends of my past, but one really good thing came out of meeting my wife. It reminded me of the importance of not trying to grow up too fast. Life throws you a bunch of hurdles to begin with, but it's necessary to keep pace with them. Go to slow, you won't clear the bar, but go to fast and you're liable to trip up. Best thing you can do is be yourself and get accepted for who you are. If she isn't into you, then the next girl around the corner that appeals to you might. You'll never know though, without giving her or someone else the chance to meet you.
