Alright before you get the wrong idea, let me fill you in:
-I'm 17, he's turning 15 in a month.
-He's considerably taller than me. I kind of look like I'm 15.
-I've never been comfortable with the idea of dating or liking a guy any more than a year younger than me. But over the past few months I've realized there's no stopping my feelings, I REALLY like this guy. Sure he's immature, but that doesn't phase me, I think he's hilarious. I know he likes me back, and I'm taking him to my senior prom. All the seniors love him, they joke around and call him a senior.
But what do you guys think about me liking a freshman? Is it weird? A few months ago I wouldve thought it was weird, but I don't even see him as a freshman anymore.
Update: So we dated for a month, but the age difference absolutely DID NOT work. There's just too much difference in maturity and experience. However, my friend who was also a senior in high schol dated a freshman boy and their relationship work
4 months ago
Many people will say that it would be weird since you are in your teenage years, but as you get older, then it'd be normal, but to me, I think it is fine. I use to think like that too. I actually use to like girls older than I was (around 2 years) and thought I would not like any girls younger, but then recently (few months back), I noticed it is not wrong to, since you cannot help your feelings. I thought it seemed weird too, since sometimes they may look too young, but it is all up to you, if you want to make any moves. I think it is cute and very nice. It is normal to be in love, with whomever, without thinking about anything physical about him.
At first glance it seems odd, but I can remember teaching classes with all levels of students in there. Some of the freshman were much more mature than juniors and seniors, so it depends on the person. If he's mature enough for you and it's bringing good things rather than trouble or ridicule, then I don't see a problem.
I thought he was older than me when I met him [[we go to the same church]] I was shocked when I found out he was younger. we both liked each other but I wouldn't go for it because he was younger.
so
we were friends for over a year before we started dating and after three bad relationships with older guys [[19,21,22]] and him being there for me through all of them. I decided he was the one for me.
Now I couldn't be happier.we get along amazingly [[is that a word?]]
people say stuff to me sometimes and I'm not gonna lie it bothers me
but its soooo worth it i'm starting classes in the fall at a local community college and he'll still be in highschool but we're staying together. yeah anyway. that's my situation
My opinion: You'll be out of high school before you know it! By the time you're 25, the age difference is NOTHING! The true test of your relationship will be the college years. Give it a go!
