writes: Ok I am in love with a girl that is 18. We were together for a year but she ended things because of the age difference. The age difference is 14 years and she feels her family won't accept it. She is with another guy now just to be with someone but she still loves me and wants to be with me. She is trying to hide her feelings cause she doesn't want to get hurt. What can i do to help her see that it may be tough at first but things will be ok. Why lose love when it's so hard to come by. Please help!!! Reply to this Question

Before we got together, we had known each other for awhile. I had always had a romantic interest in him, but feared that it would not work out because my parents would never approve. Now that I am 21, out of my parents house and in college, I have more freedom to make my own decisions. If your partner is 18, she may still feel like she needs her parents' approval. Perhaps it is out of habit, or respect, for their wishes. If you truly love her and she loves you, then when the time is right things will work out. However, if not, then consider the fact that she may not be emotionally mature enough to handle a relationship with you. Best of luck, and be true to yourself.

If this girl really loves you she will come back to you. the only thing right now is her parents, and i feel she is holding back on the relationship because of this. you need to tell her at the end of the day its her decision who she goes out with, not her parents. if she chooses not to come back to you, your going to have to respect her decision.

 yeah i totally agree and to quote myslef from a previous answer 'love and relationships are based on compatability and trust, not numbers.' Her parents will be shocked about it because that's what society thinks they should be, but they will come around eventually if your ex is willing to give it a go. Tell her what I have said and also the last thing you said. 'Why lose love when it is so hard to come by.' Take your own advice and I'm sure it will steer you right ^-^
Good luck.
