[RnC]

yah i met this girl at lunch n had a small conversation n got her number. but then the problem is she is in year 2 of university. (iono what age u guys are but im year 1) she kinda assumed me in year 2 and talked some school related stuff, but its all general so i didnt really bother correcting her hehe. i am looking forward seeing her again, but i ono if i should say nothin about the fact im in year one or just bring it out n tell her at our next meeting.

Don't go hiding stuff you can't hide... and don't matter in the first place. She will probably know by now or will discover it in the future (cfr. ad valvas lists of students etc...)

Just telll her, if you look 2th year and your first this isn't exactly a bad point on your account

Yeah, it's just one year. No big deal.

I'm a 2nd year and I'm taking a class with a bunch of 1st year students and even though the class is small, we've got a couple who are obviously dating and she's a junior, he's a freshman. She didn't know at first, but it didn't matter when she found out. They seem to have a decent relationship so far. I've always found that age doesn't really matter to me, but some people have a preference...

You could also use your freshman-ness as an excuse to get her to show you around campus. :wink:

It's a year. What's the big deal?

[SweetiePie]

Imet a guy who thinks I'm about 4 years older than I am. That, I fear, is something to be concerned over. But one year is nothing, most of the guys I've been with have been at least a year older than me, and i've been with a guy a year younger than me,,it really wasnt a big deal, dont sweat it. :)

On this campus, the class ranking doesn't matter. It's just a formality to figure out how many credits you have. One girl I know is only a semester ahead of me but she's 26, never mind the ones I know in their 30s and 40s.

Exactly. I have people in my classes who are two years younger me, up to those who are more than 45 years my senior (i.e. people who have recently retired and decided to spend their free time learning).

One year difference? I don't even notice that sort of thing. Not just at university, but in the outside university, I spend time with people who are 2-3 years younger than me, or up to 5-6 older than me all the time and the only time anyone notices is when one of the older folks go "ah, yes, partying in 1993..." and use 'younger folk' go "dude, I was still playing hide and seek with my friends back then".

In other words... stop worrying about it. Assuming you're both the youngest possible to be in either year... One year? That's 12 months. At most.

what exactly is the age difference?
1 year isn't that bad

[Cashew]

... My boyfriend's six years older than me. One year is definitely not a biggie.

[*after8*]

once you're out of highschool age loses its "OMG YOU"RE YOUNGER!?" factor, trust me :P

[eightball61]

I do agree and you don't want to hide anything and personally I don't see this as a big deal. If she does then that is her issue and it was never meant to be from there. You both are not that far apart and I don't see any big reason why she wouldn't consider this for an age issue.

This doesn't really matter to be honest. My gf has Finished her masters and was starting her Phd when i started seeing her and that was when i'd just started my final year - and everything is going great!

[Palmer of the Turks]

There's no need to go out of your way to mention age. If it comes up, be honest. Otherwise, forget about it.

Age is a non-issue. Seriously.
