Guy Who is 4 Years Younger Than Me is Acting Weird

[Anonymous]

So I met someone online and we have been getting along well, really easy conversation always. But I am 4 years older than him (26, he is 22) and he keeps bringing it up. I took 2 years off college, so when I came back, I dated the guys in my classes, who were 2 years younger than me. And it's never really been an issue for me, I'm not hugely judgmental of age as long as I'm attracted to the person. So I'm kind of weirded out by why he keeps bringing it up, and sense it's an issue for him. He brought it up a few times, just apropos of nothing, but when I asked if it was an issue, he assured me it wasn't. And then he brings it up again. I dont understand, especially considering he messaged me first and does the majority of the messaging. I'm wondering if maybe he's just saying it to try to bring me down a few pegs? Btw, I look very young, which he pointed out, and usually get mistaken for a 15-16 year old.
BTW an example of this is: i hadn't messaged him for a couple hours after he asked me a question (just got caught up in work) and he messaged me saying, "You should know it's rude not to reply... You're 26! Haha" I found that really fucking rude, and I wrote back, "Dude... I'm 4 years older than you, not that much". What do you guys think the deal is?

really, you need to ask? ok, that was the wine talking.

I'm a guy - he sounds immature and like a total douche bag. you're only 26 so my advice is to dump him and find a real man who is secure, mentally stable and knows how to build a real relationship.

just saying.

Wrong forum - this is DCUM. It's for OLD PEOPLE.

I think he's a jerk and you can do better.

Why would you waste any of your time on this crap, especially if you're just chatting online? Plenty of fish in the sea.

He sounds incredibly immature. You aren't going to marry a 22 year old, so move to the next guy.

What I think the deal is?

I think he's an insecure guy that isn't worth dating who happens to be 22.

Move on.

I don't think much of age, but 22/26 is not in your favor. Like it or not, you're a woman. He's just a kid.

He sounds like a jerk. I would drop him.

Try dating a man that is slightly older than you, who is mature, has a career and will appreciate you. You want a man to treat you like a lady, not like an older sister

OP here. I've actually not really dated older than me for a couple years, and even then the oldest I've dated is one year older. I dont really like when a guy tries to act like a "man" and call all the shots.. it's not a turn on for me. If anything I like to call the shots, which is why same age or younger has always worked for me. But I'm really shocked and turned off by this immaturity here. It just seems so... childish. I guess I would be open to dating older, so long as he was respectful

OP, frankly, you sound rather immature yourself. Predicting here that you will go through many more guys before you find The One, so just enjoy. If you like spending time with him, do so. If and when you don't, move on. I guarantee you this is not a permanent relationship that you are currently in.

OP, you'll be fine with guys your age or a year or two older. Even younger isn't necessarily bad but in this case, with this guy, it won't work. Leave him, sooner than later.

Oh no, it's not permanent. To be frank, I'm not really looking for a boyfriend, per se, or thinking super long term about these things. And certainly not with him. I was really turned off by his rudeness to me and haven't responded to his messages since this incident (other than the "dude..." text I sent back), but I wanted to get DCUM's confirm that he's a jerk.
