I don't find girls my age that attractive, and find they are far more mature than me. Is this a problem?

Hey,

I'm 18 and at uni, and had been in a relationship with someone 15/16 until recently. It ended and I'm over it, but now I've found that I only seem attracted to and interested in girls at the age of 16.

It's really weird, but I don't find girls my age that attractive, and find they are far more mature than me, and this is a problem.

The 16yo girls will love you.

The 18-21yo girls will giggle at your immaturity for liking younger girls while they swoon over the 26yo guys who show them attention.

Do what you want, but I definitely wouldn't wanna go younger than 16 in your shoes. Going after a 14-15yo becomes a pretty easy mistake to make once you're already hunting in the 16-17yo age group.

Be prepared for the parents of high school girls to be concernd about you dating their daughters too.

IntoxicatingLastBreath agony auntYou shouldn't grow up just because people tell you to..you said yourself your alright with yourself and everything, so whats the need? :]

Have you spoke to your friends about the way you feel?

And also as i said everyones different and has different tastes so it doesn't mean to say you have to follow what your friends do.

Annalisa agony auntIt's actually normal in young relationships for the boy to be a little older, as girls interests tend to mature earlier. It sounds like you are interested in girls only 2 years younger, so it is a healthy gap. Bear in mind that you won't be able to take them clubbing or drinking!

And although 16 is the legal age of consent, most girls won't be emotionally ready for sex!

As for your maturity, I'm sure you'll soon catch up.

God bless you and good luck!

This is verified as being by the original poster of the question

I agree that perhaps I should grow up, but I'm fine with myself, and don't want to or feel I need to change. It's just embarrassing being like this because all my mates are interested in or in relationships with girls our age, and then there's me...

BadAsh6705 agony auntThere's nothing weird about that...I have never dated anyone younger than me, and only a couple who were the same age. Even now at 23, I still am mostly attracted to older guys. Age has nothing to do with maturity really.

A female reader, IntoxicatingLastBreath United Kingdom +, writes (17 January 2008):

IntoxicatingLastBreath agony auntIt's not a big age gap, only a couple of years so i really wouldn't see that as a problem..its natural for you to like younger girls as everyone's different and has their own personal likes, it's the same as when people find older people more attractive.

Younger girls can seem more fun and laid back, so i wouldn't blame you..and as the other adviser said girls do mature faster than boys..well..are supposed to anyway, depends what you believe.

So there's nothing to worry about don't worry :P

I'm sure nobody else that you know find it 'out of the ordinary'? And even if they do it's your choice not theirs so just stick to what you thinks comfortable and you like..

Be happy :]
