Did I [18/F] do the wrong thing and is he [30s/m] still interested in me?

You know what! You people who are telling this girl not to date him because of the age... lighten up!!! First of all, she is NOT asking if she should date him or not - she already made that choice. Her question was if giving him the discount was the right thing to do and if he was receptive to it. So stop trying to give her advice that she is not seeking. Secondly, if you do bring in age, stick to the facts... not having anything to share, or having mental stability, or what ever is simply ridiculous! I am 44. One of my best friends is 19. He is a guy and we race cars together in a local racing series. We kid around, have the same humor, like the same music, like the same sports, have the same interest etc.... SO if my friend suddenly became a women we no longer are compatible?? Really?? Come on! Hell Joseph was in his upper 30's when Mary was 14-16 yrs old - in a very strict world in biblical times... and we live in a WAY MORE liberal society now than then. So liberal a society that I am supposed to respect and accept homosexuality as normal but I am not supposed to accept a man and women you care for each other and like each other because one is twice or more the other's age! I race cars - I can be killed tonight - life is too short to put restrictions or barriers on something as powerful as love. Us race car drivers look to the power of faith and live life to the fullest!

Young lady -God Bless you for going after what you believe in. you need to have more confidence though and that is your young age showing through. He doesn't want the discount because he respects you as an individual and is not expecting anything from you in return except your presence! He probably just likes you. You need to first treat him as a costumer, be pleasant, smile more and talk about the things you share. I know you are nervous young lady... but No matter how much older he is, he probably is just as nervous. Age has no effect on Love! Love effects all of us the same at any age and it makes us all feel kiddish inside. Just be respectful and he will notice who you are - that and treat you right! Good luck!!!
