Do you think guys see me as too young even though I'm not?

Question

I'm 21, but everyone thinks I look younger (seriously, everyone who finds out my age says they thought I looked like I was 14-16). I used to get attention from guys in middle and high school, but since starting college, I've found that guys aren't as interested in me. I have friends, but even guys who I get a long well with aren't into me like that, and boys don't flirt with me. There's a guy I really like now, and we do a lot of "date-y" things like watching sunsets at the beach, going out, etc, but I'm pretty sure he just wants to be friends. Guys out there, is it a turn-off when a girl looks like a teenager, or am I just trying to attribute this to something that's a non-issue?

A change in school level larger pond of fish etc all play into behaviours. College and university you see more people and some guys are just into a spectator sport for a while. If you like a guy and he has spent time with you then tell him so. Life is short and us men dont always read subtle hits well at all. Trust me on that i was oblivious to a lot of womens attention that i liked!

I have the SAME Problem as you... Honestly, from what I see and experience, it's just that guys are just too nervous or scared to approach a younger looking girl. That's what I understand from my perspective. When I go to the mall or go anywhere, younger guys ALWAYS converse with me, and the guys who are in my grade don't even try. It's not that you aren't beautiful or that your clothes aren't mature, and it has nothing to do with the way you dress. From my understanding it is just how guys are but as we get older hopefully it will change.

Hey, I am a guy from India. For me it hardly matters how my gf would look like. I always prefer good people with good mind & good decent thoughts to carry the relation forward. Its an advantage for you, if you look like a teenager. Don't worry just relax. Its not a issue at all, at least for me.

I'm 12 and people think I'm 16 so I wish we could switch our problems.

I think guys are scared to approach a girl that appears to be underage because of the consequences if they do. I personally find girls that are of legal age but appear young extremely attractive. But im always leary to talk to them because of perceptions. Id be happy to chat more at length if you're interested... Samjohnson716@yahoo

Try getting him to kiss ya, and see how he reacts to that, hun- (that'll give ya the definitive answer, as to whether you're girlfriend material, or just mate material, in his eyes!) And nah. I don't find that a turn-off at all- (in fact, I find it neither one thing or the other, to be honest!) Come what may, I wish you all the luck in the world, my sweet. Peace and love. Be lucky. xxxx

if you meet people in college they should understand that you are not 14?
