Dating

Would you wait for someone till they were the right age to date you?

I met this guy when I was 16 whilst seeing family in Norway for the summer. Some of my cousins are a little older and managed to get me into this really classy party. Most people were a lot older than me there including this guy I started to talking to. He was Russian and he was the only other person who couldn't talk norwegian besides me so we started chatting and we got on really well and found out we had loads in common.

I thought he was really hot and being my stupid naive teenage self I thought there was nothing wrong with dating a guy in his 20s as long as I was of age which in UK were I'm from is 16 there shouldn't be a issue as long as my cousins don't find out and he doesn't ask my age no one will say anything.

He asked for my number and that's how we carried on talking. We spent a lot time together that summer just dating until he found out my age and probably for the best as things were starting to get serious.

I left my passport out and he found it. At first he was mad as hell at me for not telling him. I said I was of age so there isn't a issue legally but he said morally it was wrong and but I should be dating boys my own age not messing up men's life's by keeping secrets.

He walked out on me and told me to never message him again.

Then around Christmas he text me. I tried to avoid him because I was really ashamed of myself but he asked to speak to me.

He told me but he really liked me and when we were together he felt like he was falling in love with me and that one day he could see me being his wife and after we left things in the summer he'd had a lot of thinking to do and really started to miss me. He said 16 was way to young for him to date but if I was still single in my 20s he'd wait for me and we could start again.

I'm 26 now and still very single and he's 38 now and he's still not found anyone either.

He lives in barcelona now and we are in regular contact. I've never actually had a real boyfriend before am I'm still a virgin. I've had plenty of opportunities to loss it but so mad as this probably sounds I always felt like I was cheating if I did something with another guy and want to lose my virginity to this guy I've been speaking of.

He wants to meet up soon and try again but I'm so scared
