Thanks for the advice everyone, but now he's scared that if we do date, he be the reason Im in jail.

I tried to conviced him that it's alright, as long we don't have sexural intercourse or anything sex related, but he's stuck in his little world. *sighs*

hii...

i was in a situation almost exactly like this during my junior year of high school...except for the guy was only, like, three years and four months younger. regardless of that, i know what you're going through. did i stress out and worry about what everybody else was going to think about me being with him??? YOU BET I DID!!! but then, i finally woke up and realized that it's not about what anybody else thinks. it's about what you and this guy think. if you really like each other and are happy together, go for it!!! maybe keep it under wraps in the beginning--that's what i did when i was in this situation, and it seemed to help for some reason...hahaa. but don't let yourself miss out on this opportunity to be happy just because of what other people have to say about it. when i was in your shoes, that guy turned out to be my first love...and i still kick myself to think that i almost passed up the opportunity to be with him just because he was younger than me. who knows??? this guy could be "the one" for you!!! either way, though, the experience of dating someone younger is an experience that will leave you a stronger person. it takes guts to go against everybody else. but in the end, it will all be worth it. ohh, and remember--age is just a number, and love doesn't care how old you are.

good luck, and God bless,

I know this woman very pretty, she about my age and a few years ago I just standing there talking to her with her son. He was about my height then and he was only 14. Nice looking boy like his mother. This girl had him naked staring at him so hard I really hated to say it. I yell out “did you say your son was 14” her jaw dropped I couldn’t help but laugh. His mother told her not to worry she run a lot of women away from him.

Just dating isn’t a problem and sex should held till marriage. I say why does it need to be exclusive when your just friends. Just get to know him, but don’t be surprised if his mother runs you a way.

I don't think its wrong as long as there is no sexual intercourse, but dont get to serious because it is kind of illegal, so just be careful but no there is nothing seriously wrong with it.

tennisstar88 agony auntSo he's 14 1/2..still too young, legally. You can't have any sexual relationship with him because he's still a minor, the legal age of consent is 16-18 varies per state. If you have sex with him (even though he's willing), you can be charged with statutory rape and put in jail since you're legally an adult.

I suggest you pass him up because he's too young. Find another guy closer to your age or maybe a little older. When I was your age, even guys a year younger than me had the maturity level of a 6th grader.

Age is really not that important even more so once your out of highschool. I would say if you do really like him and he like you should give it a try. You said you were good friends, so maybe try and keep it a secert until you feel comfortable with the whole thing and to see if it will even work out before you let everyone know.
