I'm 18 and I know this guy that I super like the only issue is he is 27 and he won't date me bc I'm too young and he feels like it's weird. He has acknowledged that I'm super mature for my age, I honestly look at least 20 and I act older and he knows that but he gets so hung up on the fact that I'm 18 and it's a 9 year age gap. Is there anything I can do to convince him? (Using that word lightly.. it's not like I'm gonna force myself onto him)  We are such great friends and the fact that he has said he'd date me if I were in my 20s (literally he said If I was 20 he'd have no hesitation) drives me insane!!
