doomed love life

<p>I agree with the poster who said it's all relative. I'm 5 feet tall, so all of you "I'm short because I'm five-seven" males are like giants to me!</p>

<p>Here's a new question: How much older or younger would you go? I am in incoming freshman and have had my eye on a guy who will be a senior. Is this unrealistic?</p>

<p>Nope it's perfectly fine.</p>

<p>i think its weird. usually a guy would be really desperate to go three years younger. i mean in high school, even two years was a stretch. (i guess as you get older the difference becomes less important).</p>

<p>I believe age only becomes an issue in these cases only if they let it be an issue. I really don't see the big issue with dating someone a few years apart. Age is only a number to a certain extent anyhow.</p>

<p>Well, it also depends if you're looking for long term or short term. I mean, after this year is he gonna move away or living in the same town or what?</p>

<p>i dunno, just take a look at the couples that have that much age between em. how many same-age relationships has the older one had? etc. im generalizing, but...</p>

<p>Well, college lets you get in touch with people of your caliber. Sacrificing social life in high school, at least for me, was not that big of deal because there was not that much to sacrifice in the first place. I mean, all of the "no-life" stuff that kids throw at you in high school is really exaggerated. I still had time to watch movies, go to parties, hang out with friends, etc. It's just that, I didn't do it as often as the studs or w/e. I don't even think I would like going out to party every other day, but I don't know, I guess it's just because I'm rater introverted. But, I'm guessing it applies to most people subscribed to this forum.</p>

<p>Same here. Never felt the need to go party 3 times a week in order to be happy. Maybe once in a while but that's it for me. I'd rather do other stuff most of the time anyway. Guess it's the introverted nature of me. =P</p>

<p>Also, don't get us boys wrong. It's not that we haven't entered puberty from ages 14-17. We like girls and want relationships. Most of us are just scared in dating a girl because, honestly, I don't understand how girls can be attracted to such hairy, weird, and a little unemotional people HAHAHAHA. Ok that was a joke. But, there's peer pressure and the knowledge that most of us are not the next Brad Pitt. We're always full of doubts like... "Oh will she like me? Why is she looking at me so closely? Does she think I'm ugly? Did I saw something that might of hurt her feelings? Why is she talking about other boys?" And yes, we are afraid of commitment but we tend to accept it and enjoy it after a relationship becomes more deep.</p>

<p>Oh yes, and girls are scary because they live and think weird. They are also kind of probing. Ah, don't worry about it. Think positive, that you will find someone. What you are having right now are only thoughts and those thoughts might be self-defeating! What a hypocrite I am, but oh well! :-P</p>
