How do I impress an older girl?

Post Reply New Topic

I'm not sure if this should be in the love and dating section or friends section, but im not pursuing a romantic relationship at the moment so i thought it should be here... as many of you may know, im 16 and a guy, and i recently met a 19 year old girl who just moved to the United States a week ago, so she doesn't have a job, university, driver's license, or phone..... how do I get her to like me as a friend and not think of me as some loser little brother? I currently don't have a driver's permit OR a job...

By acting as mature as possible, while showing your intelligence.

And being very consistent with your emotions.

I'd say just show her what you enjoy about the place you live and just try to build some familiarity. I don't think a 3 year age gap seems all that much given the context.

Stay in school, stay out of trouble, graduate, go to uni, graduate, get a job, buy a car, buy a house, and then invite her over.

Keep in mind that while you are doing this, you are in direct competition with men who are already three to five years ahead of you.

Good luck.

I'm 95% sure OP was asking about the immediate options. I doubt he'd be interested at all in her if she predicated everything on material possessions that way...

I dunno, maybe...treat her with respect and be her friend? Romantic relationships aren't something someone can simply "make" another person feel. Show her that you respect her as a person and as your equal; if your personalities, histories, viewpoints, interests and pheromones match something may come of it. If not you may gain a really good friend who might *know* of someone who is a better match for you, or be in the position to offer more personalized advice as to who to look for.

It is not so much the material possessions themselves as what they say about the man who owns them - that he has both the ability and the determination to work hard and earn enough to support a family.

Yeah but at 16 that pretty much amounts to full notebooks, unless you're really all about cars like me, and I didn't even buy anything sporty back then. It's more about standing out by being direct & friendly than being rich, since OP asked about impressing someone on an individual basis.
