Is it normal to like younger girls?
There's this girl that I've sort of developed feelings for recently. Our families have been friends for a long time, but I've never really thought of her as like any thing other than a little sister until recently. She's going through puberty right now, and has gotten very pretty lately. She was always really mature, nice, and smart and really the type of girl that I like, but there's a big age gap between us- I'm 20 and she's 12. I feel really really bad for feeling about her that way, but I can't stop thinking about her lately.
To be honest I'm just a regular guy, most people would say I'm decently attractive, and pretty easy going, but I've honestly never had a girlfriend. I've always been too busy or just never meet the right girl. Throughout middle school and high school many of the girls I knew were really mean and would often tease,spread rumors ,etc... Now in college its still similar- many of the girls I meet are pretty shallow. It's always either the girls I meet have a good personality but not physically attractive to me (guess that makes me shallow too) or vice versa. I know nothing would ever happen between me and her, and she probably doesn't feel the same way, but I still can't help but imagine what it would have been like if I were her age going to the same school as her, or just taking her somewhere on a date like to the movies or carnival or something. I'm not sure, I usually don't feel this way about people and feel really bad that I feel this way about her but I can't stop thinking about her.
I sometimes feel attracted to younger teenage girls around 15 ish... Here's what two other users wrote when asking similar questions:
"I feel like after a certain age that females start to generally become less idealistic and daydreaming types and that towards the end of college many of them are just too pragmatic and "realistic", and not as charming, adventurous, naive, innocent, sweet as they typically used to be when younger. And I think that's a shame because I find these qualities very attractive. "
"Their faces and smiles are so much cuter, their petite bodies sexier, and there's just something so cute and adorable that youthful, ignorant happiness they have that's so irresistibly cute. I love seeing them roam around Target aimlessly with their Starbucks drinks purchasing Nutella and laughing with their friends. They're so cute."
I kind of agree with what these guys are saying...
