are there people who dont know there real age as in when they are born? and what advice can you give to those kind of people?\nNB: this may be due to any reason.

Yes; there are potentially several reasons why a person wouldn't know his or her real date of birth. In some countries, governments don't keep very complete records. Children are orphaned all over the world, of course, and might not have any adults around who remember when the children were born.\n\nThere is, of course, a weird phenomenon that occurs when someone is born on February 29th. Although s/he knows the date of birth, the way that one measures age is complicated, since s/he only has a birthday in leap years.  In Korea, people count age differently than we do in the West. When someone is born, we think of him or her as zero, while the Koreans would say one. When the year changes, one adds another year, instead of adding a year on the birthday. So, everyone in Korea is actually a year or two younger (in Western terms) than they say they are.\n\nBut, back to your original question: I think that it is possible to have a judge declare a date of birth that one could use for any legal reason whatsoever.

Older people have a wider pool of experience to draw from.  I don't know anything specifically about your older friends, but there are some things I would do differently if I had the chance to do them over again.  My life is okay, but I believe it would be a  lot better if I had finished college.  That's just one example.  It's not that younger people are dumb, they just haven't had 20, 30, 40 years of making good and bad decisions to avoid making mistakes based on previous knowledge.

I think that the older we get, the smaller the age gap becomes.  Ex.  There are 8 years difference between you now.  At your age, that may seem like a lot, but when you are 30 and the other is 37, that doesn't seem so bad.  Back to an actual answer:  Do YOU think the gap is too big?  I agree that things will be different when you are 18, but if you are truely interested in the other as a person, then I think the age gap is dismissable. But that's just one person's opinion.

How old are you??? The fact that you have to say it so much could be reverse psychology...

i agree. but people on here are no different than people anywhere.. especially those on here who are young and a little unsure of themselves..  \n\nbut i agree, communication is everything, and people need to gather up the courage to chat with whomever they are interested in..  \n\npeople can try to read signs and read body languange and ask friends to investigate about information, but it's so much easier to just ask someone outright whether or not they are intested in you..

I think the age ranges and even adults can give lousy answers.  I am 24 and have sometimes seen more wisdom from my five year old nephew then I have from people twice my age.

In your case there would seem to be a correlation because realising how little you really know is one sign of wisdom. However there are people who were young fools and now they are old fools so you can't always draw a correlation between age and wisdom.

Did it ever occur to you that they may not have the actual answer ......or they simply do not understand the question. \n\nI was always told at a very early age that if you need  answers to a very important question...you go to people you trust or licensed professionals that are paid to answer questions.\n\nI would not take any of these responses on 'Yahoo Answers' to heart. I mearly regard them as suggestions or helpful hints........And that is all.

Are you dissatisfied with being young? What's this "Congratulations on being older than me" nonsense? That attitude will get you nowhere. \n\nYou're right. Experience comes with age. And with experience comes wisdom. There is no need to look down on people older than you.

No, this is not a stupid question. This is a very informative question, I think. What gripes me even more than the amount of truly ridiculous and pointless questions on here are the amount of truly unhelpful, immature, and unnecessary comments left behind by some of the answerers. In the Dating section, everything you see is, "Is 14 too old (to have sex)," or "You are a Dooshbag" or "Girls don't date dickheads," etc. My guess is that some of these "people" in general are just obnoxious kids who are born one among twenty, and aren't really raised like they should be and will say anything mean and then sit back and laugh about it.

I am 40 and have a very full and happy life.  I don't spend my entire day/night on yahoo!answers, but I do visit in between projects at work.  I'm on here because I've noticed that there are a lot of people - both young and older - who have honest questions and are looking for answers from "experienced" men & women.  I guess that includes me...\n\nSometimes it's more comfortable to approach an outsider for advice than someone you know.  What better forum than the internet, where you can be as anonymous as you want?

i didn't get my first kiss or first relationship til i was 24. it was a long wait and i know it can be frustrating.. but try not to let it bother you..  there's not much you can do other than live your life and try to keep a possitive attitude..  feel free to click on my profile and send me a message if you'd like to talk further..

It "isn't" as definitive as normal people-speak "is."\n\nI "am" 31 years old.  I don't "appear" or "seem" 31 years old (I still get carded), I have existed on this planet as a complete unattatched organism for 31 years.

Well, I'm a gerontology student. To me, age is nothing but a number. Yes, it is true that most companies/govt/policies ect, consider 65 year olds "senior citizens". But don't buy into the typical characteristics of what that means. I think it is awesome that you are active and still feel and act "young". Don't buy into the stereotypes. Aging as we know it is rapidly changing.

People are so ignorant these days! So, don't worry about anything coz they are just making fools out of themselves. I also have experienced the same problems, but I stayed patient looking for and having good friends, and I did.

When you talked about "getting older" I thought you were in your 70's or something like that haha.\n\nAnyway, I think it is normal to ask yourself things like this. It's an interesting thought actually, it makes some sense. I had never considered this theory before. I couldn't really tell you my input on this, I mean, it's all a big mistery, I don't really know what to think. Obviously, nobody knows what comes after death, it could be anything, I think we'll have to wait hehe.

First off, kudos to you! Not letting the age difference get in the way of love! *applauds*\n\nUmm, I wouldn't know the answer, per-se. But I suppose people around that age just look at the world today and see it as something of a sham, a fake, a phony world (Catcher in the Rye reference...). Being a young adult myself, I look around me and think my peers are absolutely moronic. I think he would just rather be better off wallowing in the world he once had than being forced into a world of plastic and faux-happiness.
