This is my boyfriend:

I've posted pictures of him before, and I tend to talk about him a lot (I can't help it, I love him), but there's this thing. How old do you think he is? Here's another picture:

Most people put him in the 25-30 range, some even higher. But how old do you think he is? Would you believe me if I told you he's only nineteen? He says that it doesn't bother him, but I know it does, especially when people obviously older than him call him "Sir" and when people mistake him for his dad or his dad's brother. He's been dealing with this long before he met me, he was asked if he was registered to vote when he was 13 and one of his little sister's friends asked if he was her dad, but I know it still bothers him.

Thought it does make for some interesting conversations. Recently we were in Mississippi with a college group from our church, and the preacher at the congregation we were helping, seeing as he looks so old and I'm with him, asked when we got married. Just about everyone froze. It was kinda funny, but pretty awkward. And when I helped with a fund raiser for the fire department he works at everyone thought I was his wife, again cause he looks old enough that they all assumed he was married.

And it really doesn't help that premature baldness runs in his family and he got the gene too.

When he tells me a new story about people mistaking his age I tell him that it doesn't bother me and that I love him. But is there anything else I could do to make him less worried? I feel so helpless since that's all it seems that I can do.
