This man you are "in love" with is sick.\n\nMarried or not, he should not be fooling around with a 15 year old girl - its paedophilia.  \n\nSecondly, you dont know anything about love at this age.

age gap is not a problem really, but what is your actual age? are you in a stage to understand the difference between love and attraction? affection and passion? if not, Take the advise of the elders.

I will never say that you dont love him. He might truly mean the world to you. But you have to look out for your best interest. You are 13 years old and have a lot of great experiences and 'firsts' ahead of you--homecomings, proms, driving, more dates, making captain of a school team-- i wouldn't limit yourself to one guy who is past all these life changing events. I also dont think that it is healthy that he is in jail already. He might bring you down with him one day.  My only suggestion is to be his friend.  That way you can still care about him as much as you want, but you also have the ability to go out and do what you want. There are going to be so many guys in your life throughout high school.  I am sure that you are ready to handle an adult relationship, but I would have as much fun until you absolutely have too. I was tied up with one long relationship after another. And now I am 23 looking back and wishing that I had given myself the chance to go off and have fun.  So, be his friend, and if later on in life, you are still in love with him, then make the commitment to each other.

No this isn't a big difference I'am 17 now and my b/f is 21 now, it really isn't that big deal , it's not all about age, if u guys love eachother u shouldn't care about ur ages just follow ur heart.

Okay, so basically, what you're saying is, as of right now, you're 15 and he's 24? While it may seem thrilling and exciting at such a young age to have an older man interested in you, or to have anyone romantically interested in you since at your age you've probably not had many relationships, there are a few things you might want to think about:\n\nThis man, and i stress the word MAN has lived a lot more than you, even though numerically it's "only" 9 years difference, he's reached a lot more milestones than you. Chances are he's graduated high school, had some secondary schooling such as college or university, could have been in the armed forces, and he's probably already had his first love and a few relationships since. Now you, as a 15 year old girl, still have the rest of high school ahead of you, college, etc. It seems a bit disturbing to be that a 24 year old man would pursue something with someone so young.\n\nI know boys your age may seem immature, unromantic, and this guy may seem older, and wiser, and mysterious, but the difference here is still something i think you should think about, seriously.  \n\nWhatever you decide, i hope it works out for the best.

Age is nothing but a number bestowed upon us at our birth. There's nothing wrong with a man in his 30's falling in love with someone whom may be a little older than him. Love works in mysterious ways. Why try to figure out the mystery of it when we can just sit back and enjoy it when it happens.

Age is just a number,as long as u both like/love each other.Go ahead with it.

If you are truly in love, age doesn't matter. Love is too precious to be limited by rules of behaviour. Enjoy yourself.

Age isn't a barrier to love.  I would guess that a lot of the 'eeew' comments are  made by those who are in your age group.  I'm older than your boyfriend, and I can tell you that however old he is physically, he probably doesn't feel that old mentally.  I still feel about 34 but I'm in my fifties! (And I don't look that old, either!)\n\nHowever, you must be practical.  When you are 42 he will be 63.  When you are 63 he will be 84, and he may well be very elderly at that stage while you still have the energy to go dancing.  If the thought of caring for him at that stage doesn't put you off, then keep going, and disregard the funny looks and comments!

Well, older guys are more mature & usually treat most females with respect. If he truly likes you, then your sensible options are:\n\n1. Wait 2 years and ask him out. 16 would be considered "child molestation/statutory rape" \n-OR-\n2. Find someone else; there are plenty of fish in the sea...

You need think of yourself and love yourself and put yourself as number one on your priority list, because he has made it VERY clear that you are not number one on his priority list. You're 48 years old, you need to be with someone that can love you for the beautiful person you are and not someone that acts like they're 12. You need to make yourself Plan A, because he only thinks of you as Plan B. Good luck and don't be embarrassed- he should be embarrassed that he doesn't have what it takes to love you the proper way.

well dear , i think you are still too young , he is already 13 years older than you even though the age doesn't matter SOMETIMES, but you both can not be like each other much , because he is nearly grown man and your so young . And its very soon for you to start relationship with a man , am sure when you get older ; your ideals will be changed , and may be you will regret for choosing him and may be not as well. As you know relationship in young ppl would be ended very soon, because its not strong love , and no enough reason , most of them are sensitive decisions. And  i think its better you fall in love slowly but sensibly \n, if you do that your Love will grow by age and your relationship would not be finished so quickly and nothing can disturb this.\n\nGood Luck darling

i dont' think age matters and i think you know deep down if you love someone....it's hard for people to say what you feel but i think you just know....follow your heart and remember you can fall in love more than once in your life so this person can be your first love but maybe not your true love....

I know it doesn't feel like it, but you have a lot to learn about yourself still. It doesn't sound like you have been in a relationship with this boy very long, and it also sounds like you are still learning what you like in a relationship, and in a partner.\n\nIf your goal is a long term relationship, I would definitely go slow with this. Rushing won't give you any benefits, and it can get you into trouble if your feelings about this boy are still so new that he turns out to not be as great as you think. Or if you just change your mind or find someone better later.\n\nIf you don't care about a relationship, if you are just looking for fun without commitments, you also need to be very careful because if he thinks this is serious and you don't, he could end up very hurt. then again, it could be the other way around, and you could end up the one being hurt.\n\nRemember, boys at 15 tend to care more about sex than they do relationships.\n\nYour best bet is to move slowly so you can be really sure you are seeing things clearly before you make any big decisions about what to do.\n\nI am sure a lot of people will tell you that 15 is too young to be thinking about a serious relationship, and it is easy to say "they don't know my situation"  That's true.  If you have any female friends that are older, ask them about their relationships when they were your age... and how they feel about them now. It could be that your perspective on this entire situation will be very different in a few years. It can't hurt to ask.
