I've tried to reconsider because I do like him but I just don't think he can handle being in a relationship with me...I have a lot going on with me and I need someone who can be there and understand..but like I said he's only a sophomore and I feel like he couldn't handle dating me...what should I do?

 Age is almost always a terrible indicator of maturity. Why not get to know him a bit better and see if he seems mature? I know lots of guys in their 20's who act like children and lots of guys in high school able to act like adults.

I will keep this one short and sweet... go for it! Do not over analyze something like age. If he is a good guy and you have fun together, rally good things could come from that. Just keep it in your head like it's a "trial run"... you will either know right away that it's a good thing... or that it's not going to work. Just take it s l o w, though, as to make sure that if it does not work, your friendship can remain.
:) Good luck!

Why not? As long as your both under 18.

 we have all heard that girls mature quicker than boys, but i think this is a sweeping and unfair generalisation. i reckon it depends entirely on the individual person. if you like him give him a chance. if he proves to be childish, re-think the situation and maybe break up. he might pleasantly surprise you though and change your misconceptions

It wouldn't hurt to give things a try if you really really like him. Or you could just get to know him better before considering whether he fits the bill of an ideal bf. Hope it helps :)
