Advice for a girl who wants to date an older guy friend.?

I have a friend whom I've known for around four years now. We're really good friends, and I've been interested in him for over a year now.





I'm 18, he's 25, and that has seemed to be the main barrier for any sort of romance. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.





I'm trying to work up the guts to just talk to him, but I'm not sure really what to say?





This means a lot more to me than anything before.Advice for a girl who wants to date an older guy friend.?
Have you already had someone 'feel him out' for you? Nothing sucks worse than to let someone know you like them, only to find out that they don't feel the same way about you.





I'm going to presume you have, since your last question was about what to do instead of what to ask him.





Work up what you want to say to him but don't make it long winded or anything like that. Find some way to bring up one topic and lead from there to letting him know that you like him. At the point of letting him know that you like him, that's when you just have to play it by ear, but I assure you that once you say it, you'll feel a great weight lifted from you.





One of the subjects to bring up is to tell him that you like someone and want his advice, but don't give any hints that it's him. He'll probably ask who it is, but tell him that you don't want to tell him yet. Then after talking for a few minutes, you can just tell him that he's the guy. By doing it that way, you are doing it one part at a time and can make it much easier because the only part you'll truly need to have the guts for is in telling him WHO you like.





If that doesn't sound good for you, then you could also try talking about someone else you know and who they might be dating in the near future and then move in from there. That's what this one guy did in a movie called ';The Girl Who Leapt Through Time.'; He and the girl he liked (the girl who could go forward/backward in time) were on his bike heading home. She started talking about this other guy they knew and who he might date and then out of the blue he (guy biking) suddenly asked her out. She went into the past to try to avoid that conversation but instead of her bringing it up, he brought it up and asked her again. Something funny happened on the third try but anyway, that comes to mind as far as how to move slowly to telling him.Advice for a girl who wants to date an older guy friend.?
Age isn't much of a big deal, for example my mom and dad have a 10 year age difference between them and they've been married for 19 years! Age differences are usually over exaggerated from around 12-30 years from what I've seen so you shouldn't worry about it. If you really like him you shouldn't care so much about it. Now, about saying something to him... It's really your call on that one. But if you want my advice tell him how you feel and be straight forward, this will show your maturity. Usually everyone gets nervous when confessing their feelings, so there's no rush. Take it slow and bring yourself up to pour yourself out to him :)
find a way to have a simple lunch with him and try and give him the signals. Smile and laugh when you are supposed to and try to be genuine around him. Compliment him once in a while but don't be overbearing. If you send these signals for about a month or so and he doesn't respond hes probably not interested.
Hi...The most important thing is for you to be open and honest with him. How you feel and what you want. But what ever you do, Don't try to change him. Now that you are 18 it should not be a problem. To work it out with him. Remember a year ago you where only 17. So he could have only been a friend. But now.....well don't be afraid to romance him........Jerry
yep get to interact more with him for a month or two. check if he's single and available too. that'll make things easier.
