Twilight Series Question

Jacob & Bella confusion!

This has nothing to do with the love triangle or anything like that -
In New moon, Bella and Jacob have this thing where they have made up ages for one another. In the event that one does something clever or right or whatever, more years are added to that age. I don't understand how this works & I don't understand the purpose of it either.
Could some please explain for me? Thanks.

jacob doesnt like the fact bella keeps going on about how young he is as he really likes her and wants to date her, so he says that with his brains and gifts etc he's technically older...so bella comes back with reasons she should be older and they just keep adding and taking off years

The purpose of it is that Bella said "Blah blah blah, something about being young," so Jake was like "Technically with the brains and my gifts im older by like 4 years." So they kept adding up all their talents together, too a certain age.

I think Jake wanted to take the focus off of him being younger than Bella so that she would 'date' him.
