At the high school middle school age, that does get a bit awkward, but when you're out of high school that type of stuff really doesn't make a big difference. A few friends of mine are dating people who are close to four years older/younger than themselves. Ultimately, it's up to you. Plus torken had a good point, she will be a freshman soon.
Two things to really consider:
1) is she mature enough to date? I'm a teacher and I'd bet that at least 75% of my 8th grade students are not capable of having real romantic feelings. They date each other for a week because its 'cool' but they don't even hold hands.
2) how do her parents feel? Will her parents FLIP if they find out she's dating someone older? I know you don't want to care what adults think, but it could become a big issue.
Does anyone think it is alright for a 12th grade guy to go out with a 10th grade girl ?
I'd answer this but this is an old question and it's probably too late for help
But I'm just going to say I was in a good relationship with the same exact age difference, three years is fine. It depends on maturity.
the friend is kind of ridiculous.. your situation is not.
Although it sounds weird now since she's in middle school and you're in high school, next year it will be a junior/freshman so it's not weird.
My friend is 17 in 11th grade and he is dating an 8th grader, you may get some static from your friends and others, but I don't believe there's anything wrong with it as long as your not just using her because she's younger and doesn't know better
Go for it. Its fine. Chances are you are going to get crap for it, I wouldn't worry about. What is she 14 and your 16? Its not a big deal. I used to see it all the time in high school and middle school
I believe a 8th grade girl is about 11-12. Don't get involved in this my friend. You may enjoy the attention from a girl, but that age is not going to fair well on any front what so ever. Focus yourself on 16-18 girls. They are way more in your ball park.
What the hell? 8th grade girls are 13-14. Dude. are you serious? what planet are you from? hahah
I was 12 in 8th grade. It all depends when your birthday is. And what planet am I from? You're the one asking if it's ok if you date a girl in 8th grade while you are 16. Anyone from planet earth would know that it's not acceptable and it shouldn't be done.
Not when 8th graders are teenagers. it's only two grades down. Juniors date freshmen all the time. It's the same age difference.
The only 12 year old that would get into 8th grade would have to be a mega genius who skipped 2 grades. Unless you've skipped two grades, then what kind of 8th grade are you talking about?
no. that is not ok. I know she may only be 2 years younger than you, but the jump from middle school to high school is huge. and middle schoolers just aren't mature enough, whether they seem like it or not.
like in my opinion if you still ilke her in a year, then you could maybe think about dating her, because you're both in high school. but not now. she's too young.
and you'll come off as a creep.
How will I come off as a creep? surely not to her. maybe to others, but not her. She really really likes me I can tell.
Yeah not to her, but to others.
no. date someone your own age. you're in hs, she's still in middle school
But the only girl I like in my grade doesn't like me.
There is this chick and she's lesbian. And I tend to go for girls not knowing that they're like that. (No problem right)? But she acts flirty and two years ago, I told her that I liked her and she recommended we stay in friendship (Nice). But now through and through my eyes are on her. I do the half finger heart thing and she completes it. I think she knows I like her anyway... I would like some advice from both POV's (Thanks in advance). Be honest I'm here for it!
Wait till she's in high school, it's not bad cause it's only two years but the whole middle school to highschool thing makes a bigger difference than you'd think
it's perfectly fine. I mean when you think about grades its seems like a big deal but really it's only 2 years I mean it's not that much I know a freshman who is going out with someone who is in collage and it is not creepy/slutty/ at all. it is perfectly normal people gave them crap about it at first but then they realized how good they were together and really liked them. so I say go for it.
im lauren I'm 14 and an 8th grader I'm in love and kinda dateing this 17 year old boy and we are in love but our realationship is on hold for the time being because his ex girlfriend is bothering him and he just wants 2 get things straight with her so yea we are just takein a break and he tells me after he gets everthing worked out ill always b his baby girl well I g2g
it doesn't matter what age they look my friend!
is all you care about what people think?
its what your getting yourself and the girl into ...
i think it would be best to pursue the girl your age and hey if that doesn't work out next year the girl whos in grade 8 will be in grade 9 and you'll both be in highschool
grade 9 and 11 is completely normal and common
but 10 and 8 ? a bit different ...
I don't think there's any type of problem dating her. As long as you two have things in common and have fun when you go out that's all that matters. :)
i don't think the age really matter at all.. but make sure this girl is not a little immature girl cause damn they will be always be complaning about things so just be careful:)
umm...thats just not right. I think you should wait til she's a freshman. junior and freshman sounds better than 8th grader and sophomore honestly.
First of all.
Age doesn't matter.
Sure people will talk crap things
Then again its up to you.
For me, I don't care about what other people think and I follow what I want.
So the bottom line is. FOLLOW WHAT YOU WANT. BE A MAN! rofl:]
Age doesn't matter I started going out with my boyfriend when I was 13 & right now I'm 20 and he was 15 when we started dating, and were still together don't worry about what other people say
no there is nothing wrong with it, I believe age shouldn't make a difference, it's all personal choice and fallowing your heart.
