Dating with big age gaps?

[MamaPingu]

Hello

I am only 19 years old but pretty much have the mentality of someone who is 30!
Even my parents agree I would suit someone a hell of a lot older than I am. My mum pretty much told me I need to look for someone older haha

My question is how would this ever happen?!
First of all I can't imagine anyone much older being remotely interested as I do look quite young to look at.

Then I imagine if someone did seem interested I'd think they were weird because I'm young

Seems like a lose lose situation!!

Has anyone been in a similar situation?

It all depends on your circle of friends, I am pretty ancient now but when I was a teenager none of my 'boy friends' were the type that slept in until 12 & sat around watching tv - I guess it says something about the friends you do have .
