I'm 18, he's 16 and my parents will not be happy about me dating him

Question - (12 July 2009) 4 Answers - (Newest, 17 July 2009)
A female United States age 30-35, *adeywadey writes:

I have been single and content for a while now, and so has a guy friend of mine. He came over my house the other day for a haircut and to hang out afterwards, but what is usually friendly poking, hugging, and tickling (we are silly...and ticklish) turned into something more. We took a walk and soon we were cuddling and touching each other, then he asked to kiss me, so I let him and we went crazy on each other! My past few boyfriends have always kissed me in a lusty manner, and some of them were real pigs, but I could feel in his kiss and the way he held me, it wasn't a bootycall. Though I was shocked at what happened that day, I could only think of him later. The following day I hung out with my brother, "my guy" and his friend and he approached me as if I was his girl, kissing me and holding me, and his friend identified me as his new girlfriend. My question is, should I go through with this? He's always given me butterflies but what worries me the most is that I'm 18 and I just graduated and he's 2 years younger. If my parents find out they will never let me live this down and I'm afraid I will not see him often, or worse, that our friendship will dissolve.

Feedback please!

jadeywadey agony auntThank you all for your help!!!

I appreciate it :D

As an update:

He claims to be looking for a long-term relationship (what I've been looking for in years!) and I've known him so I know that he's true to this. The age isn't bothering me as much anymore...

My parents need to shut up...Mom's 45 and Dad's 58!

Now that's an age difference!

No effense LazyGuy...though your answer was good and it made me laugh :)(the rasing boyfriend remark) but at times, regardless of their age, men do need to be raised!

Crissi 09 and Ohdearitserika, I'm glad you both can relate! I wish you both the best and thank you :)

LazyGuy agony auntJust be careful. Girls are supposed to mature faster then boys. So you are mentally perhaps 20 while he is 14. At least that is what society might think. You two might be different.

Just be prepared for him to not be emotionally mature enough yet for what you want. 2 years ain't a difference at all between adults but at your age and considering that women typically are mature at the same age it might cause some troubles.

But hey, every relationships has risk. You like him. He like you. Bother are legal age. See what happens. Just be prepared for the occasional cradle robber remark :) Is he going to pick you up on his tricycle? Couldn't find a boyfriend so you decided to raise one? Okay, I will stop now.
