We get along amazingly and to be honest just clicked. The thing is she wants us to be an item. I do too, however, I am concerned about the age difference, I suggested we wait until she's 18 and I'm 26. I really care for her, and the only thing holding me back from being with her now is the age gap, help! Reply to this Question Share |

Take things slow, at HER pace, respect the wishes of her parents, because they will be wary of you, and your intentions. Then take everyday as it comes. If it works, it works, if it doesn't at least you know you gave it a shot! Good luck!

Honestly, with all do respect wait until shes older. If you both care about one another enough you can. Let her know how you feel about the age difference, that way she doesn't think you just don't wanna be with her. This is very unlikely to happen, but ya never know, maybe her parents would like the idea. Like i said very unlikely.
If you both agree go ahead and DATE in your age group, her the same. In two years if your both still available then GO FOR IT! Until then becareful 16 isn't legal in most states.
Good Luck!

I've fallen for one of my sister's friend (7 yrs difference)..I'm sure both of us understand that the age difference is a major factor,we both know we're at two different stages of life. But that doesn't mean you should just give up on still being close friends. Take the time, there's no rush..besides you just might end up being together in the future.. looking back at how long you two have stuck together will only make the relationship stronger.

When I was 24 years old, I started to stop fancying girls that age. I would say stop and think. She hasn't reached an age yet where she could ever settle down with anyone. Look around, you will get better adult conversations from elsewhere. Do it before one of you gets hurt in the relationship. Good luck !
