Good day everyone.
I am a nursing student. My ultimate goal is to be a travel nurse.
I am happily married for over 12 years and have 3 children: ages 6, 4, and 2. Family is the most important thing in the world and I want to help families work out problems so they do not have to be torn apart.
If your family is as important to you as mine is to me, get the help you need. If you do not like my advice, I respect that but look for someone that works for your needs.
Your family is worth it!

When I was in high school I would have been completely okay with the idea of a freshman and a senior dating. In my age, I have become a bit of a stick in the mud... but just because I have also gained wisdom in my "old" age.
Freshmen and seniors should not really be dating. UNLESS you are casually dating and realize that it is not going to go anywhere (most likely anyway). In the very near future he is going to be filling out college applications, considering strongly where to go and what to do in his future, possibly moving away... and while all of this is going on you will still be focused on high school stuff like what clubs to join or extracurricular activities to be involved in, etc.
I think the high school dating thing is really tricky. There is such a vast difference between a freshman and a senior primarly because a senior is about to step into adulthood and all the things that has attached to it. A freshman still has three years of childhood left.
Again... dating very casually at this time may be okay. If you dont be very slow, casual, and careful you could end up finding yourself suffering a lot of heartache come next summer/fall if/when he moves away and begins the rest of his life.
Sorry if this is not what you wanted to hear. I just remember some heartache as a teenager and wish someone would have talking realistically to me about these things. (I dated an exchange student not really considering or realizing that he would actually be leaving the country at the end of the year and I would never see him again. We never disucssed it, just had a great year and it took me a VERY long time to get over it. I was a junior and I never dated anyone else in high school because I still missed him. I later wished we had just been good friends that hung out and such but didn't get too intense).
Best of luck.
