I recently started dating a guy about 5 years older than me, which I didn't think would be a big deal but it's starting to dawn on me that he is a Real Adult and I am 26 with 6 roommates.

that's how i felt before i moved out of my parents'. but now i feel like it makes you more appealing since they know you're saving money lol

Ohh that makes sense! Idk I've never really felt like pursuing anyone because of it, you know? but I'm also like "... can it happen??" Lmao. I save to travel mostly but tbh I don't make enough to live on my own/roommates and it's not really a thing we do in my culture? Like damn I'd love to live down the street from work and commute 20min instead of 40+ 3x a week! But I also can't afford $500+ in rent since I have a car to pay/student loans

Thanks for the insight though bb!

i'm 26 and 5 years isn't that big of a deal to me, unless they have baggage like small children and divorce.

unless he owns his own home, hes not a real adult~ tbh. he's just making it like the rest of us screwed millenials.

Nah

bb if you take care of yourself and pay your bills, you're a Real Ass Adult. don't let anyone else's life invalidate yours.
