writes:So we've sort of known each other (only in a certain context, through which we met) for over a year and about a week ago we admitted to having feelings for each other...We both know that this is a rather delicate situation and we know that there are issues with such a relationship, but we think we might be able to give it a try. One of my friends (rather liberal, like me) thinks that I can go for it, but my other friend (know for being very reasonable and mature) says that I should at the very least wait until I am eighteen. I am stumped. Should we (carefully) give it a chance, be patient or break it off before it gets messy? Reply to this Question

Thank you, though.

 I've just turned seventeen and my boyfriend is 27.
What I would suggest is saying to your parents " I've known this guy for a long time and we've recently discovered that we have feelings for eachother, he is a lot older than me but I don't want to hide anything from you so that you can see that I'm being mature about this." Talk to them about it. As for you friends, they're not acutally in this relationship so it's not their choice. It's entirely up to you what you want to do but I would suggest you talk to your parents, as I did. My parents weren't too keen on the idea at first, but it's better to hear it from you rather than them finding out eh?
Good luck xx

 When I was 17 an guy wouldn't date me because of the age diffrence, he was 28 as well. He was a pretty decent guy. I admire him for that looking back. And yes the age diffrence is too big, why would he want an 16yr old girl at his age? Nearly thirty.
