My boyfriend and I have a 6 year age gap and we never notice it most of the time and we have been together for almost 2 years now (we even live together, plan on moving across the country together, plan on getting married, etc.), but sometimes things will hit me that reminds me how young and naïve I truly am compared to him. Like when I hang out with his friends, I'm the only one still in school and the rest of them have careers or are married/getting married. It can be odd at times, but not to the point where I regret anything about the relationship I have. Why not ask him out!? I think if you like him and you think he likes you too you, don't have much to lose. I was the initiator in my relationship and look where I am now We also met on tinder, but that's another story. My parents have a 6 year age gap and they've been married for over 20 years, so I know it can definitely work. But, as you say, it can be difficult, which is why I'm so apprehensive. I'm really not sure whether he likes me or not. Some days I think he does, others I think not. I've been getting so many mixed signals and it's been driving me crazy! I've spoken to several people about it though and they all said it's worth a try, so I guess I'll have to see how it goes. Thanks for the advice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the advice. Let me know how it goes with him! The best way to figure out how he feels is being straightforward, but the difficult thing is figuring out if you want to risk the status quo of your friendship to do so. If its driving you crazy, I'd shoot the moon and ask. But I'm a blunt person, so I've never had difficulty with that kind of thing. Man, this is making me think about all my relationships that were complete s**t from before I met my boyfriend. My last boyfriend was a literal sociopath. I fell for him because he liked Mika and he sang opera and all this s**t... was a scumbag though. But it just makes me super thankful for how great my man is now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually I tend to be tactful with people, although my new year resolution was to tell people how I really feel, so I'd better stick to it haha! I'm going to try and hang out with him more, on a one-to-one basis. That way, we might be more open to each other. That sucks but I'm happy you found a wonderful person. There was a guy I liked at high school, but when he found out I liked him he went mad at me and said he never wanted me to contact him again. This was years ago, but I'm worried that the same thing might happen again with the guy I like now. Hopefully not, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask him to do something, maybe get coffee or some other activity. That's the way to go! Seems like we've attracted the crazy boys in the past. I doubt something like that will happen now. But, you won't know until you try. Unfortunately, love is about getting hurt as well as being unbelievably happy. Can't have the good without the bad. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cat_loves_mika Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 I used to do a lot of song writing. Lately I haven’t been able to put together anything I like and it driving me insane. It make me mad and sad, because people would say I was so good at it. I think it’s because I haven’t been heartbroken in awhile, having a good relationship has ruined me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teenagedreamer98 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Well... I finally managed to tell the guy I like how I feel. I was incredibly nervous but luckily he was flattered. We decided it's better to stay friends right now, but at least he was nice about it. Admittedly I still have some feelings for him. After all, he was my first kiss (long story!) But I've accepted that nothing more will happen. In the end, I still think he was uncomfortable with the age gap, but I can't help that. I wish him the best anyway. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starlight Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Mine was very pleasant and quiet. I spend the Holy Night together with my parents. We ate our traditional sausages. And then we exchanged our gifts and sang Christmas songs. The next day we visited my brother and his family. That was nice, too. My niece played Christmas songs on her violin. What about yours?

Hopefully sooner rather than later, it's been nearly three years since I saw him in London. 17 hours ago, We-Are-Golden said: Ah that's good! I love a good relaxing Christmas.

I'm sure Mika could manage a trip to the Netherlands in the near future Hopefully Scotland and Germany too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
