I'm 22 and I've recently been seeing a girl who is 19. There's not a huge age difference, but I'm in graduate school and she's a freshman in college. Seems strange to me because freshman year for me seems like it occurred in a different lifetime, and I'd feel as though people would judge me and look down upon me dating a college freshman.
We get a long great though - she's very intelligent and has a lot of the same interests as me. I guess the only thing that's bothering me is what people will think if I end up dating a girl who seems to be at such a different point in life than I am.
Am I just being too paranoid/uptight?

It is only 3 years, go for it.
>Am I just being too paranoid/uptight?
Yes.
Three years is nothing. The older you get, the more you'll agree.

My best friend is 26 and he's dating an 18 year old high school senior.
...at least yours has a diploma.
Don't be concerned with what people think. Most people don't give a shit. The people that do care are petty and will remain irrelevant in your life if you do good on yourself. Do good on yourself and stay with the babe.
If Rubert Murdoch can marry Jerry Hall, then your very small age difference is nothing. From a women married to a man 8 years older, please don't patronize her though....especially since you have recognized her intelligence.
I was 25 when I started dating my now wife who was 19. Ages difference doesnt matter too much if it's not a ridiculous gap.
Weird... I'm dating a 18 year old and I'm 21. How did you meet her?
My husband was 25 and I was 18 and fresh out of high school when we started dating. It's not a big deal, man.
