I am 30 , she is 19
I am 30 year (29 actually) man, I am in friends with a 19 year old college going girl. She is cute and has a thing going for me... We talk not very often.... I am trying to find a girlfriend and possibly consider marriage in next 3-4 years..
I really like this girl a lot, I adore her... But i did not tell her how i feel about her as she is still very young. Also i feel, if she becomes my Girlfriend then she might miss out on her 20-25 age which sometimes i feel is not good for her... I want her to go through life like any normal 20-25 age group would.... so I just keep my feelings to myself...
Lately, there is a guy in her college who seems to be making a move as he has realized that i am interested in her.... so he is making move to get closer to her out of a sense of competition from me or insecurity(they are in same class) ... i think he will propose her soon...i think the guy is just college going jerk/punk (may be i am jealous or something)... but i want to protect her form this guy.... sometimes i feel, if i dont move fast then i might loose her to that jerk permanently...
I am so confused and torn... Can please anyone advice me what to do... I am so lost... I even feel like either proposing right away or completely moving out of her life... in fact, i have stopped seeing her as often as i used to....
Thanks in advance for helping me out guys, Take care!
