Would the average 23 year-old woman (twenty-four in less than three months) give a second thought to dating someone who just turned 31.? I suspect this isn't a problem with her, but my intuition isn't foolproof.
To give you some background to us. We are both graduate students at our university, which is how we know one another. She's someone who people have always suspect of being much older than she is, and I am just the opposite. I've always looked several years young than I actually am. We've know each other for about three months. But we've grow quite close over the last six weeks. I know I've grown to like her quite a bit, and I suspect she has done the same towards me. Nevertheless, I feel like we are at a critical cusp of either become just great friends or something more. Occasionally, she reminds my of our age difference, usually in playful reminders of how I'm from a different generation. Should I really let that affect me?
