He is very sweet and we know each other through a family member. We are starting to like each other but we feel like the 8 year difference is too weird. I don't mind the age difference but he does. This is bothering me cuz I just want to be together. What do you guys think? thanks Reply to this Question

I really like him, but he is a little bit nervous about the age gap and how it will affect where I am in my life. I think that you should both give it a try. If he was just interested in sex, he probably would've gone for it awhile ago. It will work out, just have a talk with him and tell him how you feel. Go slow, talk about how you feel and try to make the best of it!

 My boyfriend is 9 years older than me (im 18, he's 27) and everything is fine between us, it's absolutely fantastic!! He knows what he wants and he's mature and loving and, provided this guy you like is the same, there's no reason not to give it a try.
However, you've got to be careful sometimes with age gap relationships. You're both at different places in your life, they might be ready for settling down very soon, whereas you've only just left school!! You just have to talk about these things.
My boyfriend has wanted kids for 6 years now and still really wants them but im at uni and he knows im not ready yet and I won't be for at least 6 or 7 years. He's willing to wait though. Get talking about what you both want and just take things step by step. Good luck

hmm, if you know his not interested in you for your body or for sex then theres no harm in the relationship, 8 years may seem like a lot and it is, but only if your selves imagine it to be..
