So heres my theory on this one... I'm a total believer that age is just a number, but then again maturity, to me, is a huge part of people's compatibility. Being almost 22 (In two days!

) I feel like I'm almost 30 because of the events that have happened in the past year. My mom passed away from cancer, so that makes a person grow up really fast. I have no other family close, so I'm pretty much on my own. My mom was 44 years old... Young. When I tell people, mostly guys, about her death they flip! Its because they can't handle it. So to make a huge, extra long story short... I always go for guys older... like five years older. Unless hes my age and knows what lifes about.
