age gap: 21&18(me)
I know what most people will say and they will say that later in life three years means virtually nothing in relationships.
However, I’m in a situation where now me(18), I’m catching myself catch feelings for my coworker. And he’s genuinely someone I could see myself building a very long stable and healthy relationship. I know him kind of well and I genuinely get like an amazing feeling from him and he’s a great guy, but I’ve been trying to keep my walls up because when I ask in my life says it won’t work.
Now I think he feels the same about me and honestly, I haven’t told him how I feel because well it would be awkward if I got rejected and we kept working together however I know it’s not good to look at outside validation but everyone around us seems to think there’s something going on when genuinely there’s not we don’t even communicate much outside of work.
honestly I’m in need of opinions and or advice. I know that we’re in completely different stages of life right now but we do have a lot of similarities for example him and I both coach a sport together and we have a lot of the same interests so yes while he is about to graduate college next year and I’m just starting I feel like it could maybe work but again I’m also 18 so I don’t really know if I can dress my own opinion yet. Is it worth it to even try and build something with him?
