About being friends with someone much younger, it will generally look but at times it can be ok. I've always been able to relate to children really well and they always are drawn to me. In my last neighborhood there was a girl who was I think about nine and I was in my 30s but I look younger. I'm female. She was an only child and she always wanted to come and hang around with me. It was basically like having a little sister/big sister. She liked pets and she liked nature like I do so she would go on walks with me and our dogs and say hello to my cats and we would do outdoor things. Of course as an adult I would sometimes get annoyed with her coming around so much. Certainly there was nothing sexual about it and her parents were fine with her coming to see me. There can be many different kinds of friendships, but society does tend to view things a certain way and also what OP said - it's looked at worse if it's a man befriending a younger child, either a boy or a girl I think.
Is it normal I'm a 21 year old, friends with a 12 year old girl?
