Is there any point?

I have recently started uni and for the first couple of weeks had no attraction or action with any guys. However i have joined a Christian society and even though i have tried telling myself i dont, i find myself really liking a member. He is a lot older than me, about 5 years older but when i am with him i dont notice this at all. He is such an enthusiastic and lovely person that when i am with him i think he must find me boring and dull. Many people say that i should "go for it" but i cant think that he would ever like me and i dont know his views on relationships(as he his quite an active christian, whereas i am somewhat of a fallen one in that respect!)
Please help i need some logical advice and from my friends who are just trying to make me feel better!

Hello

at first: sorry, because of my bad english, im a german girl^^

to your thread:
I understand you in any way.
It was my situation,too. I fell in love with a boy, who was 16!!!!! years older than me. But it was the bautifullest guy, ihad ever seen. I thought the same, as you.. that he could find me very borring and so on. Many people said to me, that it is crazy, but it wasnt.
but I have spoke with him a lot, every day, wehen i came home, i was sooo happy. and one day, we went to the cinema, he alone and i with my girlfriend, maybe destiny
We have met us and talked a lot , so we , i dont know more how, came together.
And with my long story I will tell you *gg*, that you could only find out, if you try to talk a lot with this person, if you are too shy?, he will get exactly these opinion of you , what you expect ..
Be yourself..5 years arent to much

Advice

Sorry to reiterate the same things as your friends but why not go for it? 5 years is nothing - my partner's 8 years older than me and it's not something you think about if it's the right person. Good luck!
