Should I end it now and wait until he is 18?

Question - (17 December 2009) 6 Answers - (Newest, 18 December 2009)
A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I am going out with a guy that is a few years younger than me (underage). I really care about him and every day I get emotionally closer to him. I’ve never felt this comfortable with a guy before. We have the confidence to open up to each other and talk about anything. What I enjoy the most is that we can be ourselves around each other and show our true colors...the good, the bad, the ugly.

After going out with him for a week I'm having doubts whether or not we should be together. I'm starting to feel guilty because he is underage. In the back if my mind I know this should not be happening but it is really hard for us to stay away from each other.

The only way to clear my coincidence is to end our relationship but I don't want to cause him any pain. Hurting him would be like hurting myself and I'm not sure if I could deal with that. I don't have any doubts that this is the guy I want to be with but he just happens to be younger than me. I'm willing to wait for him to become an adult.

How do I end the relationship without hurting him. I don't want him to think that it was just a game for me. How do I tell him that we can't be together until he turns 18.

We have been going out for a week as a couple but I've known him for three years.In the last 10 months we have gotten even closer and I think that's the reason why we feel so confortable in our own skin around each other.

You already know the answer to your own question. You do not mention your real age but you must be considerably older to be pointing out the difference. Developmentally he is still growing and quite young. If you care for him, I would say leave him alone. He is underage. End of story.

Hey there.

You seem to really like this guy, so why end it?

You aren't doing anything wrong unless you have sex with him while he is underage.

So let the relationship develop emotionally but save the physical stuff for later.

Don't ruin something that is going well
