I am only 23, yet I have a lot of life experience, Both parents died when I was very young, and I have basically parented my younger siblings for the last 7 years, I have managed several staff at my job for the past 2 years, and have represented my country at international sporting events. I have also beaten serious illness, and achieved a lot more in my 23 years than many people have in 40. I am not showing off, I am simply saying that judging a person on a number is ignorant.
she may be 30, but trust me, I am actually more mature than she is, I have done more than she has, and I even look older than she does.
And if 23 is too young, then what about 24, if 24 is ok, then what if i'm 23 and a half, what about in 5 years when I'm 28 and she's 35? see what I'm saying?
Oh and in answer to the other questions, I am after more than casual sex, If I wanted that I could have it, with someone my own age. It's about more than that, this is a person I can see myself being with.
It's just unfair, sorry to rant.
