I have been in a steady relationship for almost a year now, although I think I am too young! I am only seventeen and want to go out with my friends an have a good time. I really like another person and I know he likes me and I don't know what to do about it.

Lostandalone agony aunt I don't get it. You are too young to be in a relationship but you have your eye on someone else. FOR What??? Is it for a RELATIONSHIP??? I agree to be 17 and in a serious relationship is almost crazy. Get out and enjoy your youth but remember the heart you break is the regret you take. Good Luck.

You write that you think your to young for a steady relationship, this says to me that you have some doubts about it in general and in some ways have already made your mind up about it. you are only 17 and its only natural to want to go out and enjoy yourself with your friends. you say you like another person but if you feel this way with the person your with now do you not think that you will also feel smothered so to speak going striaght into another relationship. i personally think that you should end it with who you are with now and take some time to find yourself and do things that make you happy, go out with your friends enjoy yourself and when the time is right for you to settle down you will know and feel comfortable with it, not trapped and enclosed.

hannieseds agony auntHey there,

If you're having doubts about your relationship then get out of it and enjoy your youth before you get too attached to this person and it will be harder to leave.

But remember - you can do both! Be in a relationship AND go out with friends!

This other person you like - are you wanting a relationship with them or just a bit of fun?

finchy agony auntI dont personally think you are too young if you really like the person, although i am worried that you dont really like this person you are seeing.

You say you are attracted to this other guy but think to yourself are you willing to give up a healthy relationship for an other guy when it might not even work out.

You can still go out with friends and have a good time, just explain to your boyfriend that you do want some time away to hang with friends and you dont want your life to stop just because you are in a long term relationship.

one of my best friends has been going out with her boyfriend for 2 years and she is 16 and she still manages to hang out with us so think before you act xx

Serene Katy agony auntYou do know what to do about it. Go out with your friends, be young, carefree and happy, date that other guy. Tell your boyfriend you are too young and need to learn about life and yourself, (not to mention that other fellow!!!). You get one shot at your single years, be free. At 17 have no limits on what boys you want to date. You will probably be married and committed one day, enjoy your freedom now.
