Trust me and just remain friends or people will get hurt. I'm 26 and i've just split up with my girlfreind who's just turned 18 and it was terrible. We went out for a year and it was all roses for a while and we did and probably still do love each other deeply, but at that age young women have far to much pressure on them to be in an adult relationship. For a start A levels, freinds their own age, universities, all these things mount up and will get in the way of everything else. You have to let them go to find their own path or they'll start resenting you and it'll cause problems down the line. It wont last!

 I think chronological age is irrelevant. Yes, I think life experience counts but it is how a person learns and responds to those experiences that matter. I remember thinking at about age 16, as a cadet nurse, that wisdom does not come with age but in how people think. Some older people seemed less wise than many young people. I think we have to meet people and judge for ourselves and it is who 'fits' with you that counts whatever age they are.

 Its only nine years, this is not a big age gap atal. If you find out he likes you, which im sure you will, go for it. Its all about how you feel about each other not how many years you have between yourselves.
Good luck x

Take care

In my personal experience, I don't think I could really have a proper relationship with someone so young, even if she were mature for her age, she still lacks almost 10 very important years of her life compared to me.

Good luck
