Anonymous asked: I am crushing hard on a girl who's also gay. The only thing is, I'm 19 and she's 28. I met with her for coffee and it went well, but I think she thinks of me more as a mentee or friend than a potential girlfriend. Is there anything that I can do to break through the friend zone to get to a deeper level? Or do you think it will it happen with time after developing a relationship of being friends a while?
Well that’s hard to say. You may not know her situation and what she looks for in a partner. You are young though and when you do date someone older it’s hard to make the big life decisions together. When you’re 19 you have different priorities than when you’re 28. She may be looking for that forever partner, someone to raise children with and grow old together. When you’re 19 you have a lot more life to live before you make those big life steps. I’m not trying to deter you from liking her or wanting to date her I’m just pointing some things out that you should think about before entering into something with someone older.
But you never know, having a friendship with her may be just what you need and you never know what the future holds.
