ok, so i had this party at my house the other night and there was alot of like 21 year olds there. and i started talkin to this one guy, i talked to him for like 5 hours! hes awsome! hes 21 and im 13, and i know nothing seriouse coould ever happen but theres just something about him. i mean he works at ym dads work and everytime i go to my dads work i want to see him. i have a crush on him ya know, but is it ok to have a crush on someone 8 years older then you?
okay well.. in my opinion i have mixed feelings on younger girls dating older guys. because i hate to say it but NORMALLY they are only going for one thing, and thats sex. so i would watch out. and im sure your parents would have some say into who you date. just be careful girl. and dont get too involved if you do decide to see him.. because older guys have a strong hold over younger girls. they make them vonerable. besides.. if he tries to pull anything on you. its stagatory rape.

There's a quote I read once which said, 'Crushes aren't easy - if they were any less painful, they'd be called something else.'
Focusing all your attention on someone with whom a relationship would be lopsided (emotionally, physically, developmentally, maturity-wise, etc) can blind you from seeing guys your own age who could be completely cool and genuine.
I think the next time you throw a party you should invite more people your own age - they are going through the same things as you, and will be at the same stages throughout middle school, high school, and beyond. [ alisonmarie's advice column | Ask alisonmarie A Question ]
lovelyrita answered Wednesday August 18 2004, 11:28 am: It's not only OK - it's normal. But as for actual relationships, stick with boys closer to your own age. This older guy might make a great friend/mentor/brother. [ lovelyrita's advice column | Ask lovelyrita A Question ]
rawbery79 answered Wednesday August 18 2004, 9:37 am: It's okay to have a crush. Perhaps when you are older, it might work out. I've dated people as much as 26 years older than me. It all depends on people, not age. :) [ rawbery79's advice column | Ask rawbery79 A Question ]

puppy_x3_love answered Tuesday August 17 2004, 11:22 pm: its ok to have a crush on someone that older, but its not ok to hook up with him. because if anything was to happen between you, that would be a lawsuit. because ur not legal yet. sooo yeah. you'll probably wanna stick with people your age. but you should still hang around him, if you like him.
