Boy of interest
 

.

Height means diddley to me. I didn't date anyone taller than me until I met my husband. He's 6'4 and I'm 5'10. Age means a lot though. I found guys that much older than you at this point in your life and theirs... it makes it difficult. Not such a big deal down the road though.
If you're really good friends, then just ask him about the God comment and the car issue. Shouldn't be a big deal.

QFP.

What's your question?

Yeah, I'll agree with IrishLake. Age may be "nothing but a number" but most people are in very different stages of their lives. Most 21-year-olds are still in school, possibly living with parents, and definitely busy with schoolwork. Someone who's 26 may have gotten a serious job and lives in a decent apartment (wishful thinking).

This didn't really click for me until I met a friend about a year ago and thought he was cute or whatever. Turns out he's in a totally different place and doing other stuff with his life.

His being only a couple of inches taller is a problem, why?
Aside from attraction, what is the reason for mentioning his eye color?

You're at the "I'm interested but I don;t if he is" point. You haven't dated, nor have you talked about dating. Has he asked? Have you hinted? Let's get to that point until you might have to talk about transportation to a date. As for the sex, let's wait until you've actually gone on a date. (Though if you are "really good friends," I would think that you would know his "sexual status" and how "close to God" he is.)

I'm basing these statements on how close I have been to male friends in college. If I consider someone a "close" friend, that would entail knowing a lot more about the person's beliefs on big topics like sex and religion - or in your case, if he was holding out until marriage.

Again, you have a lot of questions and seem willing to shoot him down just on assumptions. Get the facts and then make a choice.

You said you're friends with him, you should probably have SOME idea about what his views are on things if this is true.

And if your ex is threatening you need a restraining order.

Okay.

If something happens, be sure to call 911 and tell your family and friends instead of logging on to GC.

Yes it's shallow.

If your ex tries to start stuff, then you ignore it or call the cops.

These are really rhetoricals. :) It's all about what you're attracted to and how compatible you are. It doesn't matter what other people think about that.

Of course, we don't know if he'll be able to stand up to your ex. It really isn't his job to do so. It's your job to handle that problem instead of bringing a new man into your drama.

You might be almost 21, but you sound a lot younger. Just sayin...

Similarities in family stats is a coincidence, and a common one.

You called your brother who, in turn, called your parents? You couldn't call your parents directly?

Something is rotten in the state of Denmark...

For the same reason this man of interest "sounds" like he may not want to sex you or want you to go through rush. All because you read his facebook.

Have you all ever interacted outside of the Internet? Please don't be a typical Internet Generationer. We don't know what you've been through but we also don't have to care. You created this thread and shared info with us. You can't possibly want our opinions on whether you seem shallow over height but not on whether you seem young and kind of silly for the rest of the things you type.

^^^ 'zactly.

Please tell me this is a jioke.
