writes:This may seem like a silly question when compared to the degree of severety other questions on this website demand, but I am doubtful of my own reasoning.I recently have acquired an infatuation for this girl who's a grade below me. She is very lovely, to say the least. First; is it acceptable for a Sophomore to date a freshmen in high school? While the idea of dating her seems very natural, the concept, or at least how it will be recieved by others seems odd to me. Second; we've become very good friends, and she acts in a way towards me that I've interpreted as mutual feelings. That worries me, because I suspect that I am only seeing things based on hopeful assumptions. Of course, if the former is the case, I'd like very much to pursue a relationship. The conflicting thought is that I believe it's sensible to let a friendship develop first, then if soemthing more comes of it, great. But, I am uncertain as to when that moment is. My first thought was to try a casual outing of some kind, introduced to her in a confident way. Please advise, I've reached an impass. Reply to this Question

It's only ONE year difference. If any of your friends give you crap about it, ignore them, since they aren't worth your time. That's all I'm going to say

 Go date her! I've known many sophomores that dated freshmen. No one gets hung up about it for long. And maybe she likes you, maybe she doesn't, but until you ask, you won't know. Better to find out now than risk letting your chance pass you by.

 ok first off let me say im new to this sort of thing that aside i believe theres no reason as to why it wouldnt be okay. your feelings should lead your actions do not overthink the situation. people might view it differently but it shouldnt matter peoples perspectives and opinions shouldnt conflict your emotions or thoughts about her.

This is me damn it! I look the way I look, think the way I think, feel the way I feel, love the way I love! I am a whole complex package. Take me... or leave me. Accept me - or walk away! Do not try to make me feel like less of a person, just because I don't fit your idea of who I should be look at me,and don't try to change me to fit your mold. If I need to change, I alone will make that decision just keep looking at me.
When you are strong enough to love yourself and still look at me 100%, good and bad while looking at me - you will be amazed at the opportunities that life presents you while looking at me.”
