Question - (15 March 2007) 2 Answers - (Newest, 15 March 2007)
A female United States age 36-40, anonymous writes:

I'm a 20 and a junior in college, and I'm in love with a guy who is a senior in high school. We kind of dated when I was in high school, but I never told my parents because of the age difference and thing just didn't work out. Now, we're both older and in touch with each other again and the feelings are coming back, but I'm dating someone my own age. My current boyfriend and I fight a lot and even though I love him, I just don't have the same feelings for him that I have for the younger guy. I also worry that if I get back with the younger guy, I'll have the same issues with my parents. I'm just feeling really confused and would like any advice on how to deal with my situation.

dragonette agony auntIf you have feelings for someone else, then I think it's only fair that you would leave your current boyfriend. And if the two of you are arguing a lot then maybe the relationship has run its course?

I'm not too familiar with the american education system, but if I understand things right the guy that you're starting to have feelings for is only 2 years younger. That shouldn't be a problem for you.

You're 20 years old which means you're a young woman with the license to make your own choices, so I don't think that you should be too concerned with what your parents will think of your choice of boyfriend. With time they would probably learn to like him if he's a good person.

Good luck finding your path to happiness =)
