Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

Guys is a girl being 3 years older than you a turnoff?

There's a guy who I know has a crush on me and I have a crush on him too. Problem is that he's 21 and i'm 24 (even though I look and act about 19), do you think he'll be put off when he finds out how old I am?

Not at all the gap seems fairly minor to me tho I cannot speak for everyone!

More likely he will be flattered.

No, I doubt he will be put off...considering if you get on well already.

The age gap isn't a problem. It would put me off if he had a problem with a girl being older than him, though.

No not at all.

21 and 24 isn't that bad AT ALL, it's barely even an age gap! This isn't school anymore, you're both grown up and can make things work. Ultimately, it's not the age itself that will make or break your potential relationship, it's worrying about a non-existent taboo age gap that will :smile:
