Q: I am 17, and I kind of have my eye on someone. I don't know him well enough to say I like him, but I am definitely interested in getting to know him.

Problem is, he is most definitely older than me. I don't know his age, but I would say he is between 20 and 25.

He is a very good person, smart, worldly, mysterious, funny, etc. I doubt he is in a relationship, but of course, he might be.

Would it be wrong for me to try to get to know him better? Would he even be interested in the company of a 17 year old? Well, no, I know we will have a great time if we were to talk or hang out, but I'm just afraid he won't be receptive because I'm just a 17 year old girl. Or, because he is super friendly, he will be very polite and courteous but deep down he would be thinking "What is this teenager doing around me?"

I just don't know what to do. I'm scared he will reject me now, and screw up any chances we might have for the future because he will remember that day "when a teenager came on to him." And then some 2-3 years later I'll see him and he will be like, "oh no, not you again." What do I do?

He knows my age by the way.

go for it. you guys can laugh about it three years from now if it freaks him out now.

but think about it. 25 year olds expect different things out of a relationship. be prepared

flirt a little bit and test the waters. if he flirts back, and things are going good just be like "wna catch a movie tonight?" and see what he says.keep going from there. make it gradual, dont just shock him.

Rating: 5

Lol, he looks like he is the type of guy who does those things with women he actually feels for, so I'm not too worried about that. I think I'll go for it... just not sure how to go about doing it without sounding weird. Thanks so much for your advice.

FRIENDS ARE LIKE ELEVATOR BUTTONS. THEY CAN EITHER BRING YOU UP OR TAKE YOU DOWN. CHOOSE WISELY
A friend will let you borrow their umbrella but a best friend will take yours and scream "Run Loser Run!!!"
we are all angels
with one wing
and we can wonly fly
with the help of somone else
my friends are my wings

TRUE FRIENDS
THEY ARE HARD TO FIND
DIFFICULT TO LEAVE
AND IMPOSSIBLE TO FORGET!

you can pick your friends, and you can pick your nose! but you cant pick your friends nose

killers stab you in the head
Frenemies stab you in the back
boys stab you in the heart
but best friends dont carry knives

a best friend will never ever come to bail you out of jail so never use your one phone call on them
i tried that, but she wouldent pick up. when i got back to our jail cell, i asked her why she wouldent pick up her phone.

theres no thing as strangers. there are only friends we havent met yet
