We are not going out or in a relationship as such, but we meet up and go on dates and when we meet up it is usually great fun. She lives in my county, not far away, but to be honest I'm really confused. I know myself nothing serious will come of this, I am just unsure whether to continue it or if I should make an exit now rather then risk things complicating later on. Any advice would be fantastic, thank you. Dave Reply to this Question Share |

You need to ask yourself what you actually want out of this relationship. You have said that you are aware that nothing will come out of it. Is this yours or her choice? Also, you say that you are "teenage" without revealing your age. Bear in mind that if you are a minor she could face charges. Even if you are not, generally speaking, the younger person in a relationship is usually more emotionally vunerable and suseptible to being hurt.
Have you discussed with her where you both see the relationship going? If not, this is something you need to clarify. If you want to relationship to progress to a deeper level (as relationships naturally do) and she is obliging, then there's no reason why it shouldn't. You live in close proximity to each other, so why not?
If on the other hand either one of you doesn't want a commitment then it would probably be wise to gently put an end to the relationship sooner rather than later, otherwise one of you definitely will end up getting hurt.
Good luck
