its just puberty for the girl la...

she think she needs a boyfriend so she can move into the groovy people stage...excuse like age gap and all can mean two things
1:she really scare of going into a r/s...scare of pregnent and all those crap...keeping in mind she is only 12 yr old...
2:she is trying to lure you into jio-ing her...so that she wont appear so desprate infront of you...
i bet if you say...age is not a problem...tell her you love her...she will snap and say "thank god i have a stead" in the next sec...

immature but yes...she is only 12...
