Thanks for the thoughtful response @tibfox!
I reflected myself and I think - I should overthink things more from time to time :D I am just too fast "okay I do it!" instead of thinking about the load of effort and the stress in future and so on.
This is sooo 100% me too. hahah I sometimes get myself involved in too many things because it all sounds exciting - but there is only so much time in the day!
And to answer your question - the girl is actually older than than the guy! But that's an interesting point about age. You are right - people that are new in their field tend be to be over eager to please. The guys is my age. :)
