Sometimes it's true that women's maturity level progresses faster than younger men's. In your case you might be feeling a bit uncertain because that statement does not apply to you. \nRemember: Age is only a number. So is salary.\n\nIf you can love him no matter what and want to work things out with him, no matter what, then he is the one for you.\n\nEveryone has differences in taste, his is 80's music and an early bed time.. so what? At least he isn't a drug addict and abuser. Take it for what it's worth... if he treats you well, is financially stable and willing to work on your relationship, you've got a winner!\n\nGood luck, and look out for yourself--

Well honey, you can fall in love in a year, and I think maybe it is love, I would say to go for it, and see what happens, I mean you seem young, so GO FOR IT... Lust comes and goes, but if it is true LOVE grab him up

Oh dear. You think you love him? What is love, then? You are not yet in a relationship do not go there, yet.\n\nHow old you are is important. A lot younger does not tell us much.\nBy 18 a guy has a few ideas on how to start a relationship, you need to let him start it.  If you are too young (>16) please do not do anything with him even if he does start it.\n\nAsk yourself why you want to be with him.\nIs it to be the cool girl dating a much older guy? (That's bad).\n\nIs it because he is a guy you have become comfortable with and developed a crush due to the level of familiarity? (Date someone your age with similar qualities, REMEMBER eventually you will get comfortable with them).\n\nIs it because he pays attention to you? (Other guys will eventually).\n\nIs it because you have sincer feelings?

You must listen to your heart.  Are you really in love with this man or just adoring his mature ways?  Good Luck.

1993? So you are about 12 or 13? That is in my opinion a little too young to start dating. Just because he is hot does not mean you know enough about him to have a loving relationship. If you get to know him REALLY well than maybe you should ask him out. But I would recommend you wait and see if he asks you out. In that case, it will be your better judgment to decide if you are ready or not. Good Luck!

A complex problem, but I would say you have to cut one loose to start with.\n\nI wont flame you for the age difference, because to you it probably does not make a difference, but it does to him, he will be wanting a lot more than you should be willing to give, I of course mean sexually. Which is wrong, he shouldnt be dating you, I was 17 once, I know what 17 year old (or 16) guys want I can say I wasnt as desperate, but all of my freinds were only interested in one thing and you shouldnt be considering that.\n\nI think even if you decided on taking things further with an older boyfreind, you will not be as ready as them, but more importantly he could be arrested for it, and if that happens that could really mess things up for him, he would be labelled as a sex offender and that could ruin his future. In terms of a job or life, it would be on his criminal list, perhaps a sex offenders list, where he would be put with dirty old men, it really could be very serious.\n\nIt could also mess things up in your life big time, you have a bit of time, so take your time enjoy life, but try to find a boyfriend closer to your own age, where there will be less problems and you both will have a lot more in common.\n\nAs for the talking on the phone, maybe you both are a little shy which is undestandable (I am guessing he is closer to you age, you didnt say), when you just talk it can be hard to think of things to say, try asking a few questions how he feels about something, talk about common interests, maybe movies, music, friends etc.\n\nAlso there is nothing wrong with being single either, you are young you have a really long time to worry about boyfriends in the future.\n\nI hope this helps and that you take my advice regards the 17 year old guy.\n\nAll the best\n\nArmand.

if you like him it really doesn't matter what your friends thinks...besides, being older can be an advantage in a relation.\nand if you waited for three years, come on! you shouldn't give up just because some fuss\nif you leave him just because of the age, and because of your friends, it would be really silly and insensitive with your own feelings.\nIndepending on the age, you can be good together, and when your heart is broken and you feel alone, there's nothing your friends could do for you (nothing like being with the one you want!)\ngo for it.....care about your feelings....

You really like this guy, but you think he is to old for you? He is to old for you, forget him untill you are 18, seriously he could actually get in some deep trouble if lets say you two hooked up and he turned 18 and you are still a minor, for instance you two are lets say having sex. \n\nNot trying to be mean but I really would doubt he will give you the time of day, you are in Jr. High and he's a Junior in High School. Think of the &$%# he would get if he was dating a girl in Jr. High. I'd move on if I was you, age does matter when it comes to one being a minor and the other is of legal age. ( or in this case probably close to legal age )

Yes, if you like him and are interested in him you should ask him out. Remember, age does'nt matter when you like someone. Anyways, it's not like he's 4 years younger than you.Also remember that there is no age in likeing someone or when you fall in love.

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

its the thrill of an older man. honestly you should keep your distance. in cases like that. their feelings could advance and you might not feel the same way. all they ahve to do is say you made a move on them and your @ss is in jail and there is nothing you can do to save yourself

The numbers of years difference would not be so bad if you were 33 and he was 48. At 18 you are far too young to be involved with a man that age.... He's lived and you haven't. You have dreams and he should already achieving his... Too many differences to over come. yeah he might treat you very well...but you will come to resent him eventualy and angry for having wasted your time.

if you've known him and liked him for 8 years its time to find out and make a move or move on. I mean really 8 years!  I would guess that youve got to be in your 20's now to have had romantic feelings for a guy for that long. So go for it!

I think that so long as it doesn't bother either of you - go for it. When I was 18 I dated a guy who was 40 - there's nothing wrong with it so long as you have things in common and you don't let the age different impact the relationship.

Well your situation is "uncommon", maybe you're young.. but, who cares about age?... the whole point if you and the guy likes each other, well I guess it will work... but, you haven't told when you start to date with him... To be honest.... just, go for a good relationship... if he loves you a lot, he will move where you at, (sorry to be kind of mean).. this is no stupid... love is something wonderful..

There is truthfully a one in a million chance that he actually loves you. Just cause of your age. Don't let your lonliness blind you. Just be careful! I hope it does work out though. True love isn't something to can find everyday!
