How can i look more mature?

Question

I am 19.. pll always mistake me as a teen 13-14. i hate that cuz i am almost in my 20is and i should look like an adult right now.(i ACCEPT and know that looking young is great and wonderful for my FUTURE but what about now that i'm dating someone!? i cant stand it right now. sometimes i look at myself in the mirror and say god what if i look like a child to him. i want to be more with my agemates so i dont wanna look like a child between them!!!!!!!!!!!

i dont say i am ugly. everyone says i am beautiful and cute.pretty eyes, face, nose, hair. but when i tell them i am 20 they DON NOT believe that. Do u know how much it bothers me? wooooow

A guy likes me in my class (college) and had asked me out for a date. but he is 24 .sometimes i am so shy cuz he might think he is dating a child lol!!

i do like him a lot he is a really nice guy. He has a brother too they sit next to me in class. so they look their same age and mature but i only look like a kid!!goshhhh i just cant stand it?

Answer 1

you can not look mature, but you could look older by wearing different cloths, haircut and getting always pretty... i guess

Answer 2

Just be yourself and do not wear make up.

Answer 3

Thanx for answering my question yesterday. I took Human Development last semester in college and unfortunately none of that was discussed. As to your question: I have the same problem of people thinking I am younger than I am.  Surprisingly changing your hairstyle will likely make you look older. Longer hair makes you look young, shorter hair makes you look older. Also, if you dress up a bit by wearing jeans and a nice shirt you will look older. Instead of wearing flip flops, try wearing a comfortable flat shoe. Try to wear colors such as purple, gray, and green in your clothing.  Hope this helps.

Answer 4

try to get your hair in big curls and wear chic clothing, in decent colours, beige, brown, dark-green. these coulours make you look more mature. try to emphasize your waist with your clothing. if you don't need it, don't use rouge but golden eye-shadow and xxl- length lashes.

if you try this it might help.

i and I know that problem, it's the same with me.

I hope I helped you

and have a good time on your date.

Answer 5

Actually, apart from makeup and clothes.. there is another way to look older... mannerisms..

If you observe closely, there are times when you look at a woman and think that she's young cos of looks.. but as you pay more attention, you'll realize there's just something about her that makes you wonder if she's older than her age. It's the way someone stands, talks, and behaves. Confidence will definitely make you look older than you are. Dun be afraid to keep eye contact too. Dun fidget during conversations with someone. Am sure you'll look older.

Answer 6

I know its so bothersome, I've got the same problem! I just learn to deal with it, i'm 21 and the amount of make up I do wear, I still get asked if I am 16, gotta just realize its a gift..  I have come to find out a lot of guys  like young looking girls! lol  Trust me I SHOW my ID off just to prove it and they think its fake.  If the guy seems genuinely interested, your looks probably look great to him, don't worry so much! When I was 18, I hung out with this 23 yr old and all his friends thought I was his 13 yr old cousin, but it didn't bother him cause he didnt think of me like that, its all in your personality!
