Just found out the guy I'm dating is only 19???

[positively9something]

I have been dating a guy for over two months, he told me he is 22. I am 28 nearly 29 after looking on Facebook I have come to the conclusion he is only 19!!! I feel like such an idiot I can't date someone 10 years younger than me! I feel like a cradle snatcher

I had a brief relationship with a 19yo when I was about 25.

Biggest. Mistake. Ever.

Emotionally he was very immature and also turned out to be a bit of a crazy stalker when I dumped him.

In your case I think the lying about his age is a bad sign. What else is he//could he lie about?

So he's a sweet kid who goes on for hours...

Unless you are planning rose covered cottages and buying Pampers again, why are you worried?

I dont think the lying about his age is a big issue (for me anyways). Lots of people do it because they want to appear younger/older. Its not an indication that he is a 'big fat liar' about other aspects of his life. I would be more concerned if he lied about having kids or still being married or the like. Why dont you confront him and give him an opportunity to admit hes 19. Discuss his reason for saying he was 22. If he doesnt own up or you still feel like a cradle snatcher then you will know it wasnt to be. Good luck.

Meh, it wouldnt be for me at all. I haven't gone out with a nineteen year old since I was sixteen, so I doubt I would have much in common with one now. YMMV.

I would end it to. I work with a 19 year old (I'm 27) and we he is a nice lad but the age gap is too much, as you said it's things they say that come across "young" and sometimes we've spoken about things and he hasn't had a clue what I am going on about (I don't consider myself old either!) I think age matters less as you get older so a ten year age gap would be nothing if one was say 30, the other 40, but 19 is just really young. Plus the fact he lied would piss me off. Trust your instinct here.

19 isn't always immature

FWIW I'm nearly 20, and have had a succesful relationship with a 29-year old. In fact im in hospital at the moment trying to give birth to his baby, we've been together 3 years after meeting through a hobby, and if there's shared interests, you enjoy his company and trust hum to be honest from here on in, there's no reason why it can't work :)
