Mistake made over age I don't know how to correct!

    Hi!
    Recently I met a fella I quite like, we've met up and get on well. The day I met him I had been talking to his friend, who asked me out of nowhere what age I am. I am a mature student at 27 and the fella and his friend are 23. I am a mature student and all I ever get is stick over being old or being asked by countless people how old I am, it really grates me now! Anyway I said to his friend to guess but that I wasn't going to correct him, so he starts at 21, 22, 23 etc and by d time he said 25 I just agreed with him, more or less to shut him up! But they must've talked and now the lad thinks I'm 25. I don't know how to approach the subject or correct the age thing, it's all I can think about!! Not a massive problem but I don't want to mess it all up :S

    Of course you can correct it, just tell them. Don't leave it until it becomes a big deal, just mention it casually when the next opportunity comes up.

    Tell him.

    2 years is nothing and you cant be a cougar until you are over 30. :)

    Just tell him next time age comes up. If he says anything about it say that you were so flattered that they thought you were younger that you just went along with it.

    oh great, that makes me feel better. Yeah at 29 ive been pulling 20 year olds recently. Not intention, just like you im a student and still hang out in bars and clubs and it just happens that there are alot more people that age group.

    Also i never even thought about asking people their age. At 29, Im an adult and see everyone else as an adult and thats all that matters to me. I think when you get older, age become non relevant.

    And although I might be a "cougar" in a few months....i dont care...if i get on with someone, age doesnt matter (in saying that I think people still in school 15-18 are not quite suited to 19 and up...just cos they've not had any life experience)...thats the only time i think age would ever be an issue
