Hi Kai,

I am a 22 year old grad student. I recently met a 34 year old guy who I really like, but when he found out I was under 25 he told me he thought I was too young to date. What should I do?

Dear Anonymous,

Just move on. I know that may be hurtful, especially since you really like him. However, if he thinks you are too young for him to date then he isn’t going to date you. You simply have to respect that. Unfortunately for you, your age is an incompatibility to him and there is nothing you can do to change your age.

Many people put age limits on who they date. It’s an individual choice. He has the right to choose to date someone closer to his age even if you are a wonderful person. It may be where he is in his life compared to where you are that makes him uncomfortable. Or, it could really just be the age difference that he doesn’t like. Either way, he isn’t interested and you have to accept the rejection .

It is important to remember, “Even though it can hurt, rejection is part of life and many times when we are rejected the circumstances of the rejection end up in our favor.” – Date Like A Woman. So take this rejection as an opportunity to focus on you and your education. You are very young and will have plenty of opportunities to date. Don’t let this one guy get you down!
