I also have this dilemma. a girl younger then me likes me but, i don't really think that matters. even thought she is younger, she is mature for her age and is very supportive. if you think the girl that likes you is a great girl that you could see together a year from now with no problem, i tell you to go right ahead. i have dated younger girls, older girls, it doesn't really matter. as long as your maturity and knowledge gap isnt huge... hope this helps you make your decision.

You shouldn't care what other people think. Once you like her go right ahead.

hi

Just follow your heart and think about all the relationships you know. The girl is usually 2 or 3 years younger so this isn't strange. It doesn't matter what your friends think just tell them how you feel about this girl. Imagine the girl's face if you say yes.

I think that if you say yes the girl would be a very lucky girl as you sound like a lovely bloke. Good luck with listening to your heart!

Dear The Girl,

I think that you should just follow your heart on this one. It'll tell you what to do. Just go with your first instinct. Think of how pleased the girl would be if you said yes. A two-year difference could possibly bring a beautiful relationship!

Best wishes,

Sarah

You being older is not a problem, it's an advantage. Most girls find it easier to go out with someone who is older than then. besides there is not that much an age gap between you.

I'd say go for it, you might regret it if you dont.

Well if you feel the same way about this girl then you should go for it. I'm 18 and there's five years between me and my ex. But if you like each other give it a go; after all, age is just a number and no one should judge you if you're in love.

Its only a 2 year difference, but make sure that's what you want, because you are older then her she can get easily hurt.

Wendyg agony auntWhy would people think this was strange? We all start to date at some point and many of us around that sort of age group.

If you are just dating then there is no harm in it at all, but remember she is not 16 so therefore lower then the legal limit for sex, so you would get into trouble if you were to engage in that activity with her. How about hanging out as friends and see what happens? There is no harm going to the flicks or going out for something to eat.

Depends if you like this girl and what to spend time with her. You're young. Have fun make friends. We all have to start somewhere!

Rebecca Batchelor agony auntOkay, she wants to go out with you. Do you want to go out with her? Do you like her? Is it more important to you what other people think than what you feel?

You need to consider these questions first. The only issue you will have to contend with is the fact that you are both young, she is very young. I'm not saying that you're aren't mature but you understand that you shouldn't allow things to reach an intimate level yet until she is of the age which is legal and this ruling is also there to protect her emotionally.

That said, if you really do like her, why not start off as friends and go out and have fun together? There isn't anything wrong with that. See how things go. Try not to worry about other people. If they ask, just say that you enjoy being with each other.

Decide whether you like her and then if you do, go out and have fun!
