So I worked at a restaurant for about a year, and around halfway through he began working there aswell. We got along really well, and there was always casual flirting, but dating coworkers is off limits! plus I didn't think he would ever really like me because of the age difference, and because he's good looking and could get a girl his age.

But then he transferred to a different location, about half an hour away, but we still texted and talked all the time. We hung out a few times but never alone, always with other coworkers. But now, since he is at a different location, and since I had to go on haitus from my job to go to school, there is really nothing stopping us from dating.

We talk alot, everyday. I think we both know something is there, but niether of us has acted on it, because, (according to another coworker who has talked to us both about the situation) we are both confused. Everyone always gives us both crap about us dating, and my manager that i'm really close with told me everyone thinks we are 'fooling around.'

So now I am going to school about half an hour away from where he/I work/live. And although feelings are there, I am in college, and he's about that age where you start dating to find the one you want to marry. I'm really confused about what I should do. I know I like him, and it seems pretty obvious he feels the same, but I don't know if it would be smart to act on it, and just try it, or just to leave it be, because it more than likely would end up with someone getting hurt?

Help pleasee :/

marry him, he is obviously the one.

[Mannosuke]

marry him, he is obviously the one.

I second this notion.

[LUVSSOURCREAM]

if the feeling is mutual........why not? dont think too much and why care about what others say in this situation? because in the end or at the end of the day, everyone else will have more important things to worry about.

^ as above, don't care about what the others said! It's not their business just listen to your heart! ^^
The age gap is not a big deal, my first BF was also 6 years older than me.

[des monstres]

i say go for it.
later on, you might regret it.

but i feel like you guys should hang out alone a couple more times before actually becoming official. and see if your feelings for him are strong. etc etc.

[parkundO!]

just marry and put an end to your life

[kitkat_grl22]

I second this notion.

i third it.

actually. just go on a few casual dates.
find out what he's like.
just get to know him.... there's no harm in that.
don't take everything too fast. give it time.

[brownman90561495]

just go for it. risk yourself and don't ever think twice. if you don't do it, you may regret it soon.

marry him, he is obviously the one.

Only if he sticks it in the pooper the first night. Otherwise, no dice!

[aiyan]

Just hint that you want to be in a relationship with him.

Think about it yourself though: does the age difference bother you, deep down if you're dating? It's all up to you.

[angels.disguise]

go for it. he could be the one lol.

[akiaki]

Age never makes a difference. It's the inside that counts.

[<3StrawberryPocky<3]

He sounds sweet and genuine. If both of your feelings are mutual, it never hurts to date someone. If you ever feel his pace is too fast for you because he's 24 (and around the age of at least considering marriage like you said), you should warn him to slow down!! He should take this to heart and slow his actions if he truly cares for you. My brother is an example of those guys that prefer not to settle down so early at 24, so maybe he's just seeking a meaningful relationship!! Go for it, but make sure he's someone who will listen to you!! People that are older SOMETIMES use their age as an excuse to control others!! ^^

[jaeisDBSKlove]

thanks everyone, I really appreciate the comments It makes me more confident that our relationship could work out!! And you're right, the only thing that really matters are my feelings.

I appreciate everything!

[Melody93]

age is not/ NEVER a problem. i say go for it guuurllll =D

[sixth.]

the age difference shouldn't stop you! nor should the fact that he was your ex-manager (though it doesn't seem like you're too fazed by that anyway). if you like him, that's all that matters.. i don't really see how, if the feelings are mutual, giving it a go would end up with anyone getting hurt. if anything, not giving it a chance could probably hurt you, or him. go for it, because it's better than sitting around wondering 'what if' on a later date

Wow, so you "flinged" with him when you were 17?

Nice.

[whistlei]

Don't go too fast. ^^ Your still in college, and you don't even know if the relationship is going to last long.
Try going on dates normally. If you guys are really serious, then you both should talk about it.
If he doesn't say anything about it, then their no worries to rush things.

and age difference nothing. Just make sure he isn't some old man...

[Mannosuke]

That doesn't matter, relationships are about taking risks. She should go into it expecting it to last long.
