I'm almost 30 now and I've reached the age where I'm really willing to get into anything unless I'm sure there's at least a decent chance of it going somewhere. Wouldn't say I'm in a rush, just that I'm aware that I can't fuck around being with completely unsuitable women for more than a few months like I happily did for the past 10 years. Knowing you're with someone who you're not going to marry is a different prospect at 22.
Generally I don't date anyone under 25 because I don't feel like dealing with someone while they're still getting their shit together. And I was pretty sure 25 was a hard limit.
Met a girl who is only 21, so initially ruled her out entirely and wouldn't normally have given it a second thought... but (on the surface, bitches be sneaky) she seems to have it together better than most women I meet closer to my age. She's a medical student, has her own house, own car, is completely independent. She's smart, attractive, the rest of it. She isn't a crazy party girl and has had to deal with some things that have kinda forced her to be more mature (not 'Daddy raped me' kinds of things, just sickness in the family). She's definitely far more grown up than I was at 21.
If she was even a couple of years older I wouldn't have any second thoughts at all but I'm pretty sure that it ends in one of two ways:
1) She's 21 so she's crazy. She's hidden it so far, but they always do that, and being 21 she's not had the time to realise that perhaps sometimes she is an unreasonable crazy bitch, so it ends up with me losing patience and giving up in a year or 2.
2) In about 4 years she realises that she still has so much growing up to do or some bollocks and moves to Somalia to care for kids.
So, Rerolled, is too young always too young and is this destined to end up with me back her complaining that people barely out of their teens are fucking mental?
