silent_x_cry answered Tuesday August 24 2004, 8:26 pm: Well, I think that a difference that big will matter. You're going to have different interests, hobbies, et cetera. School is going to be SO different -- you're probably in middle school and this guy has eigher graduated, dropped out, or is in high school. So that would probably be a problem.
Also, if you're under 16 and you have sex with someone over 16, he can get arrested for statutory rape -- even if you wanted to have sex. If he's over 18, he can go to prison for 5 years.
MummuM answered Tuesday August 24 2004, 6:26 pm: I don't think it matters at all. All that matters is he wants you for you, not for sex. Age is just a number sweetie. If you like him and think he just wont use you for sex, go for it. Good luck. [ MummuM's advice column | Ask MummuM A Question ]
xcry4noguyx answered Tuesday August 24 2004, 5:50 pm: If they want to be with you just for you, and not for sex I think it's perfectly okay. Don't get me wrong I'm not telling you to go against the law but I was 13 and dated a 19 and when I was 14 I dated a 17 year old. Age IS just a number..just be careful what you do with these guys.

dotdotdot32 answered Tuesday August 24 2004, 5:31 pm: i think its matters now. not in a few years. but by law you cant be dating these men when they go to college. youd have to be a maximum of 2 years younger. so. for like a year youd be able to date him. after that youd have to wait until youre in college. or 18.

xbrunettecutiex answered Tuesday August 24 2004, 12:01 pm: 13 is too young to be dating a 17 year old. There is much more than 4 years. When your 13 your going into the 8th Grade and the 17 year old is either a junior or senior in high school and you two are in 2 different places in your life. Also its illegel for you to date the 17 year old bc of the age difference. [ xbrunettecutiex's advice column | Ask xbrunettecutiex A Question ]

ShOrTnSwEeT42094 answered Tuesday August 24 2004, 12:54 am: At your age,yes,age does matter!!There are so many differences between an 18-yr-old and a 13-yr-old I can't even begin to list them here!!But the number one thing-IT'S ILLEGAL!!!! It's totally normal and natural to fantasize about or crush on an older guy at your age.But look out for any 18-yr-old guy who will go after a 13-yr-old.His intentions are 9 times outta 10,NOT good!! I know you probably don't want to hear this but it's the truth.Don't worry about it,I'm sure you will find a good guy that's closer to your age!! ;) [ ShOrTnSwEeT42094's advice column | Ask ShOrTnSwEeT42094 A Question ]
SaraEliKirk answered Tuesday August 24 2004, 12:15 am: When girls are your age they always like older boys, because they can drive and stuff, the truth is that the older boys most of the time really arent wantin a relationship if you know what i mean, so let him know where you stand on that part of the relationship and as far as your question age doesnt matter, its about how you feel when your with that person that makes a diference! Good Luck! :*:SaRa:*: [ SaraEliKirk's advice column | Ask SaraEliKirk A Question ]
Thickbabyie4u answered Monday August 23 2004, 11:04 pm: That's not bad as long as he respects you and your body (as a friend I mean). I liked a guy who is turning 21 and I am 16, but he won't mess with me because we are 5 years apart, and because he respects me and my family. So we are so-called jux friends. I hope this helps. Age ain't nothing but a number but beeeeeee careful! Good Luck! God Bless! Beebyes! [ Thickbabyie4u's advice column | Ask Thickbabyie4u A Question ]
kennyscowgirl answered Monday August 23 2004, 10:46 pm: Well age can be confussing because it all depends on where the range of age is. Where you and this boy you like stand its illegal. age 14 to 18 is a 4 year difference and thats a big deal, Its illegal BUT say you were 24 yrs old and he was 28 yrs old that would be COMPLETLY normal! So do you see where im commig from? It all depends and in this case its not good. [ kennyscowgirl's advice column | Ask kennyscowgirl A Question ]
Allyoop214 answered Monday August 23 2004, 10:05 pm: Yes, at this age I think it really does matter. When you are an adult, 4 years is like nothing. But when you are a teenager, its an eternity. If it were me, I wouldn't go out with him. You could get a bad reputation and he could pressure you into doing somethings you dont want to do.
Laura answered Monday August 23 2004, 10:05 pm: Just don't have sex, it's illegal for anyone 18 or over to have sex with someone younger than like 18 or 16. But other than that, go for it. My guy's 16 and I'm 13, so yeah, it happens.
Mackenzie answered Monday August 23 2004, 10:00 pm: Nah you'Re fine.. go foR it!! HoweveR, just use youR head mixed with some good judgement... he's an "Adult", you'Re a MinoR.. which could lead to tRouble! Just be caReful!! Hope I helped!! =D [ Mackenzie's advice column | Ask Mackenzie A Question ]
Karen answered Monday August 23 2004, 9:48 pm: Nope, it doesn't matter but you can't have sex with him until you're 18 cuz its considered rape cuz you are not an adult yet. But lets jus tsay that you liked a 24 year old, that's a little bit too old. Hope I helped :) [ Karen's advice column | Ask Karen A Question ]
luckystarr8806 answered Monday August 23 2004, 9:48 pm: K, no offense, but an 18 year old dating a 13 year old is wrong! The only reason on why an 18 year old would go after a 13 year old is because older guys think younger girls are much more naive and "easy" to get. Which means they only want you for what you can give them...SEX! That would be illegal because hes an adult and you are a minor. [ luckystarr8806's advice column | Ask luckystarr8806 A Question ]

bella627 answered Monday August 23 2004, 9:47 pm: when you get older, age doesnt really matter. but i think at your age the difference between 14 and 18 is too much. an 18 year old is a legal adult and will be into alot of differnt things than you. it is also considered statutory rape if you were to have sex, even if you were consenting. plus your parents may not approve of you dating an 18 year old. try to find some guys in your class, i'm sure there are plenty!

AHHHHSHLEY answered Monday August 23 2004, 9:45 pm: i think it does matter... i mean it doesnt sound like your mature enough to be dating someone so much older... just give it time...
