I am 13 and female and my boyfriend is 15. His friends think he is really dumb for going out with me and i think he might start thinking the same way. What should I do? Keeping in mind that he is also my neighbor.

Fish answered Thursday July 1 2004, 5:26 pm: dude, if he dumps you because he doesn't have the guts to stand up to his friends, you're better without him. Go talk to him and see how he feels about the whole situation. You could maybe talk to his friends but chances are that they probably see you as a little kid for some strange reason and are probably just sort of mad because they don't get so much time with him. it's kind of a territory thing. So ignore his friends, and go talk to your boyfriend. He needs to know that you need his support and if he doesn't understand that, well then dude, it's time to say goodbye.

Kissxme1121 answered Thursday July 1 2004, 4:18 pm: If he starts to think that that's his problem. He should like you for you and that age gap isn't huge. Just look at everyones parents they are like 4 years apart sometimes and more! Don't worry about it but if it bugs you alot talk to him and tell him how you aren't concerned with the age gap and he shouldn't be either. rate me plz :) [ Kissxme1121's advice column | Ask Kissxme1121 A Question ]

hollisterchick answered Thursday July 1 2004, 4:16 pm: if he truly cares about you, he knows what he wants in your relationship. but if he has thought that for some time, then unfortunatly its not so good news. But, you really should ask him what he thinks. you should be open with him. and if his friends say that, its either because they are jelous, they dont like you, or they are immature. i hope everything works! xoxo rate me!! .:*Sydra*:.

MFS answered Thursday July 1 2004, 4:10 pm: When you are older - two years is nothing...
but when you are 13 and 15... two years is a huge difference (generally speaking, of course)
If his friends are pushing him to feel that way, then that is unfair to you. If he was already feeling that, or feeling awkward about your relationship, then that's unfortunately not a good sign.
Not that you exactly want to hear this, but perhaps it would be more wise to try just being good friends for now? As I've said many times, friends are more important in the long run anyway. ;) [ MFS's advice column | Ask MFS A Question ]
