There is this girl that I like, and she likes me too. (we have already kissed a few times) I just turned 17 and she turns 15 in May. We have known each other since October, when we met at a football game. I am a junior and she is supposed to be a freshman, but she held herself back in 6th grade, so she is in 8th grade. We aren't dating yet for a couple of reasons: we are a little scared about the difference in age and her father is my science teacher. I have told her that the older we get, the less the age difference will matter. Her older sister is dating someone two and a half years older, she just turned 17 and he is 19, but they are one grade apart and we are four grades. I need some advice, we have both decided to wait until summer before we date, is there anyone that has been through this situation that has a good opinion? Should we try and wait a few years or what should we do?

hello.

I have been in this situation a couple of times, and am currently in this situation. In the past, we have decided not to date. For many reasons.

The man I am seeing at the current time is acutally 5 years older than me. We are currently debating on dating. We both love eachother very much, and have been seeing eachother for a very long time and still have not dated. Everybody knows we are seeing eachother, and people do not like it. Yet, we don't care because of the love. He has been called a pedofile, creep, goof, ect.

In the past , I actually dated a man 7 years older than me for 2 years.

If you can handle the stress, and people saying bad things about you and your relationship then go for it. Your age difference isn't that big. If you guys really like eachother, you atleast should try it. If in time , you find you cannot handle it, then explain that to her. She should also do the same.

Hope I could help.

Good-day.
