A female Sweden age 30-35, anonymous writes:

(sorry bout the lenght of this question, but you need some backround info...)

Okay, so I'm 15 and he's 18. (we dont live in the states, so its leagal to have a relationship with a person over 18 if u're under 18, so its not a problem leagally) Anyways. I know that he is attracted to me, and that he likes me. He even said that he likes the fact that he can talk to me in a whole different way that with other girls, that he doesn't need to say things in a sort of girl-suited way or plan he should put his thougts/feelings into words. That I can hadle the truth and that I get what he means, and that I dont get upset 'bout minor things.

So, yesterday we were a bunch of ppl hanging out and we talked alot and sort of cuddled a bit, this was the first time we'd hung out outside of school, and talked for a longer time irl. (usually we talk on msn)and so when we were on or way back home, he said that it was a shame that we left the place we were at so late, cause otherwise we could've gone to his place and watched a movie. In any all of us went home and today i went on msn, and started talking to him. after a while he asked how I'd felt yesterday when we hung out. I sayd that I got happy being with him. But then he said that he'd felt that it didn't klick between us, which in my opintion is a lie since all vibes I've gotten(not only the ones I got yesterday) points in the other direction. His motivation for why that is was because he believes that the age difference is way too big. Thing is: I'd gotten it if it was about any other girl, but he's said it himself; I'm not like all the other girls my age. That I might aswell've been 18 too. But for some reason he hesitates and now he only want to be firends. (sure, its a good start, but I mean, its almost like that is as good as it gets) Another thing is that he's been seculating about us having a realtionship, and been saying that he's not into fucking around anymore. And that I shouldnt think that he is like that. That he wants a steady realtionship now. He's also been talking about it involving us in a very direct way. So I seriously dont get it. I find all of this really wierd because I told him that I was 15 when me met once at a party during this summer, and he also asked again when we started talking on msn, which was about 2 weeks ago. So I dont know why it suddenly struck him that it whouldnt work out. Cause this far I've proven the total opposit, and it didnt seem like he had that big of a problem with it before...

So here I am now, don't know what to do, cause i really like him? plus, how the hell can I convince him(dont mean it in a way of forcing him) that this actually CAN work out? and that I'm serious about it and that I dont just screw aroud and hurt guys emotionally like other girls my age do.

thx for taking time 2 read this and answering :)

rcn agony auntYou can't. How simple of an answer. Have you ever looked at dating sites, not for yourself looking for a date, but seeing the wide variety of profiles? They ask you what age gap would you look for in a person to date. They range from 2-3 years all the way from 18 years old to 99 years old. You can choose anywhere in between. I may not be the fact that you're 15. It may be that he's looking for someone who's within 1-2 years difference.

The only thing I would recommend is just be his friend. Be a good, caring, kind friend. If it were to work out at some point, being a good friend gives you one foot in the door in the right direction. You can't convince someone other than being yourself, and not being fake.
