Admin	Is 18 too young to be taken seriously? Posted : 16 Mar, 2011 07:47 PM I feel like many people on this site don't give me a chance because of my age.I am very different from most 18 year olds.I've never been to a party,experimented with drugs, or even smoked a cigarette.I live the way I do because I want to please the Lord,plain and simple.Are men afraid to take a chance on me because their afraid they'll have to babysit?If I was a guy I would be a little weary about dating an 18 year old too.I can't say that I blame them.

You change so much your first couple years out of the house that even someone who is mature for their age is going to need a little time to grow into who they are as a person. Post Reply

Posted : 17 Mar, 2011 09:10 AM Tulip has a good point...even the most mature people can change a lot in the few years after high school. Here's another thought, too. I'm not a guy, but perhaps their reticence has something to do with the fact that you say you are looking for a "long term relationship". A lot of guys near your age might not be ready to get involved with someone who so clearly wants that sort of relationship. I'm not saying that there is anything wrong with wanting a long term relationship, but you need to realize that you'll have to be patient and just wait for that special guy who is ready to make a similar level of commitment. (When you get to be my age and still can't find a guy who wants a more committed relationship, then you can worry!) But for now, if you are willing to date casually, you might want to change what you are looking for to "a date" or "anything" or something like that. Then you could put in the written part of the profile that you would love to find someone to have a long term relationship with, but that you realize that you are still very young and are open to more casual dating. Best of luck! It sounds like you are a great girl, and I hope that you'll find a great guy. Post Reply

Posted : 19 Mar, 2011 01:17 PM Darlin, in a few years you're going to be in your 20s and you'll be beating guys off with a stick. :) I had a lot of the same feelings you had just a few years ago when I was 18. To be very honest, even though you may be mature for your age (I was), the fact of the matter is, you're in a different stage of life than a guy who is 22, 26, or older. I've always dated older than myself, but even then, if someone is in a completely different phase of life than I am, I don't go near it. Keep in mind that just because someone is older, that doesn't always mean he's in a different phase of life. I've met 30 year olds who have gone back to school to get a second degree, and they're all of a sudden back in the "college lifestyle" so to speak, putting them in (approximately) the same stage of life as I am right now. Don't be in a hurry to grow up. :) I'm only a few years older than you and I still have tendency to look back and wonder why I was in such a hurry to be out of the late "teenage" (18-19) stage. It's so much fun. Enjoy life. Don't be in a hurry to get into a serious relationship. Go have fun! :) Post Reply

Drats, to bad you have the the last 2 numbers of the oldest guy you would date reversed - (25) should be (52)....yes I can hear you choking on your vomit right now...lol! :ROFL: Keep praying, it is not "if" a girl as cute as you will get a man, it is if you get the one God picks for you. (And don't worry, he wont be 52!) Post Reply

Posted : 24 Mar, 2011 02:10 PM Not too young, but it takes people time to settle down and realise what they want from life - often after several wrong turns! You may find you 'click' more with an older guy than one in your immediate age group, if that doesn't bother you... Post Reply

View Profile History	Is 18 too young to be taken seriously? Posted : 30 May, 2011 09:07 AM I know some ladies in their thirties that act like 2nd graders and 18 year olds who are very mature. I believe a close relationship with the Lord is the door way into maturity........... Post Reply
