Age
Although the connection between them was strong and had the potential to grow into something else, there was still the issue of age. Wendy, as we mentioned earlier, was a year younger than Dan and therefore was in high school still. This would be an issue if they wanted to take their relationship further.
Dan thought about this as well and knew that it would be a problem, at least for now. They kept speaking over Facebook and hanging out the following days and weeks after the party. But in the end, they came to a conclusion that would suit them both in the meantime.
