I am 25 and am often mistaken for a 15-16 year old. The guys that usually express interest in me are either "jail bait" or much older than I am. The last two that asked me out were a 17 year old and a 60 year old.\n\nWhat can I do to discourage such suitors?

Well, I know the feeling. I am going to be 20 yrs old in june and I look about 12 or 13.  And I also have been asked out by jail bait boys and retirement home lotharios. I just let them know up front that I'm either too young or too old and taken.

According to her stiffing you on the date, and her reaction to asking about it, I say it's a no-win situation.  It could definitely happen with someone half your age, but I don't see it happening any time soon.  Girls at 18 are still just girls, regardless of how grown they think they are.  Younger guys are more apt to deal with this sort of behavior, because it's a younger people-type problem.  \nI won't shame you for going after a young woman, as you seem to at least have your head on straight, which I have come to find is STILL somewhat rare in men, even up to age 60 (I could be wrong, but you made it sound good)!  But I think you'd be better off to deal with someone closer to your age, even mid-twenties.  Why?  I'm 24, and I'm gaining a preference for men in their mid-thirties, though I do find people who impress me at younger ages, and older men who still disgust me with their antics.  \nI think it's probably best that you let her deal with her peer pressure and peer group mingling, and move on to greener pastures, lest you drive yourself crazy and find out I was right several months later  ;-)\n\nGood luck to you  :-)

spend more time prospecting 17 year old, cause next year they will be 18, then.. 19... catch them before they are 20...

I'm turning 41 in a few days, and if I was interested in a woman in her 20's and she was interested in me, then more power to us.  11 years is nothing in the big scheme of things.  Don't worry about what your friends say.  Listen to your heart!

There are two kind of 55-and-older single males:\n\n1.- Sean Connery, the old-fashioned gentleman, the image in the dictionary for the word "chivalry", he has the power and experience only possible with the years *drools* (Sorry, James Bond is my weak point hehe)\n\n2.- The rest of them who think they look attractive in their ferraris and hawaiian-style shirts, trying to pick up girls (half their ages) AND STILL THINK THEY'RE NOT AFTER THEIR WALLETS!!!!.... really, these fellas found the way to make a ferrary look like crap, its embarassing even to look at them.\n\nAnyway, 99.999% of really young women dating older men are after only one thing... money. I may sound old-fashioned, but look for a woman around your age, at your experience level, you deserve someone to share your life with, not to drain your bank account.

I find that most people in our age group are looking for mister goodlooking, I am over 40 and I met the most wonderful man, without really expecting it at 39, at first he was a friend, then it became more, He was a neighbor and we took our time.\n Physically, he was someone I thought I would never consider\nbut after I took the the time to look at his heart, I realized I,d never been loved, or felt love, so much.\n   My friends that are looking for the goodlooking guy, thats going to sweep them off thier feet, are still single.\n  take the time to notice the positive attitudes and the interest in you and you'll know when that person is right for you.

Never lose hope...just keep the smile on and plenty of eye contact on your prey.We don't mind a little hunt.It assures us that we have a chance.Sometimes one too many rejections\ncan make even a stud have doubts.We're half way thru with this decade you know..?When are more woman gonna think like you and "take the bull by the horn"?Society has really pulled a number on us guys...women are more in charge in positions/situations than the recent past...and in return men have different views on women.Although,good thing for females we still have our "manhood" down yonder-trust in that!It won't take long now...go out...explore...have fun.WE've been waiting!!!

I am 14 and I would be honored to ask an almost 16 year-old girl on a date.  I hope you find the right guy and have a lot of good times. :)

Oh!  By older guys, I really though older guys (of course I'm an adult).  I think it's because boys that age lose their minds.  It's the time in their lives when their friends' opinions is the most important.  And they get it worse than us girls do, because they have that ego thing.  The poor things ^_^;\n\nWith older men who try to get my attention, it's still all about the ego.  But they want to feel mre virile.  I get that a lot unfortunately.  I'm a 29-year-old who looks like an 18-yr-old.  I get both types of "boys"--young or old.  UGH!

EXPAND your hunting grounds!  If u keep looking in the same places- then u r only going to find the same old guys!  Go to different places.  Go to the higher class bars- not the dives.  get a part time job in a lumber store or auto parts store.  Make yoursle apparoachable my smiling alot and having a great time in public.  When u see a guy who interests u take the chance and ask him out!  Thank god its 2006 and we can do that now!  Men like to have girls ask them out!  That way they dont have to worry about rejection!  Good luck to u!

I am a mother of three teens, two are gals about ur age...this is the advice i have passed on to them, and seems to still be the working right plan: ...please wait to date, the guys at school have a quick way to give young teen girls a bad reputation! Wait and the really great guys who (matured)late will sit up and reconize a great, smart, and respected by all at school "young lady"  that is a big turn on for getting dates from well educated men in college too! by the time u are 15 start w group dates, then slowly into single dating at 16...be the leader of ur group of friends, not the follower....  your friends might be looking up to you, and hoping u decide not to date so the pressure is off of them to grow up faster too!  Good luck w the answers!  cheers!

Careful what you ask for here. How can you know for sure that the people who may want to be your "friend" are really your age? There are so many predators online just waiting for a chance to get in contact with a child. Please be careful as to what you say to anyone here or anywhere online for that matter. I swear you kids on here worry me. God bless and keep you safe.

Find someone your own age.  I think yours/his is bordering on criminal behavior

Be thankful that he is honest. Most men at that age would not be, they would take advantage of you.  You need to let it go, if you force it, and he does come around, it probably will not end well because it was forced.

I don't know how old you are but I see the gut is 29 yrs old - I dont mean to be rude but aren't you all a bit old for this silly childish texting stuff.  If you like each other say so - ask him out or let him ask you - leave the stupid text mesages for the kids xxx

So you are a lier too . . . \n\nYou don't like the guys that like you . . . but you dated them . . . which means you like them . . . . \n\nPlus . . . guys your age has no game . . . so they lie to get with you . . . but if I were you I would accuse anyone because you are one too.
