A female New Zealand age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Hi,

Im 17 and i'm in love with a 26 nearly 27 year old guy.

I met him nearly a year ago and we started hanging out at first it was really good and we saw each other alot. I went around to his house to watch dvd's and everything. I told my parents about him and as you could imagine they weren't too happy but they eventually got used to it and let me see him and stay at his house. We get along really well and i'm really attracted to him because he is mature and he is very good looking and is a rugby player so has a big build. When we were seeing each other he didn't want anyone to know so we always had to sneak around. After about 5 months of seeing each other and hanging out he stopped texting me the day after i had stayed at his house and wouldn't answer my texts or calls. I then went around to see him and he wouldn't talk to me. He sent me a text and told me it was over and it was unfair for himt o keep hanging out with me. It's been 5 months since then and i cant stop thinking about him i have been texting him again and i saw him last weekend and i feel the exact same way i did about him when i was seeing him. I know he cares he says we cant be together for another 3 months till he finds a house. He thinks that age diffrence will make our relationship not work? Do you think this? I really think if we both put effort in it could work. We live in a very small town so he is only really worried about the age gap because hes worried about what other people will think of it. I know i make him happy and he makes me really happy too. Please help i'm very confused. I really do love him so much

This is verified as being by the original poster of the question

Its only like 10 months till i can go to the bars with him so its not really too long. I really think it can work and he is starting to warm up to the idea of being in a relationship so i'm pretty happy about that :)

im 18 and my boyfriend is 25. we started talking when i was 17 and he was 24. he was worried at first to be with me bc i was 17 but now after being together almost 6 months he and i wouldn't regret a minute it. the age difference is hard sometimes only in the aspect of not being able to go to the bars together but its really no big deal. you cant help who you fall in love with and if he really loves you then the age shouldn't matter.

At the start my parents didn't like it at all but then they realised how happy he made me and they evenetually got used to it and they let me see him. Now they dont really like him because he has hurt me in the past but i've tryed to move on and i've seen other guys but they never make me as happy as i was with him and i never get the strong feelings for them as i had for him. Throughout the relationship with someone my own age i've always been thinking about the 26 year old.
