Question Posted Tuesday September 14 2004, 8:06 pm
I like this boy and he is 17 and i am 13. i don't know if he likes me or not but i talk to him on the phone all the time. we could never tell my brother considering that he is my brothers best friend. if my brother ever found out he would kill me! the boy said if i wasn't my brother's sister he would probably go out with me and i am like so in luv with him. i knew him for a year and a half and him and my brother knew each other for 6 years. what should i do now?
sweetbabigurl answered Wednesday September 15 2004, 7:45 pm: Well hopefully you already know that your brother is probably trying to look out for u and doesnt want to see u get hurt. Although u may feel like your SO in love with this guy, its hard to know wut love is at 13. Trust me i know exactly how u feel. Considering hes 4 years older than u is a big difference considering your age. You might go out with him at look at it for the moment, but just think in another year he'll be off to college away, out of highschool, and you'll be just starting, this could cause problems and its just not a good situation to be in. Often times, (i've been in this position before) older guys like to go out with younger gurls because there are naive and think hmmmm this older guy likes me i must be really special, some of them just think they can take advantage of you. if you've thought about all this and STILL want to consider being with this person my only advice to u is to hav a serious talk with your brother and tell him exactly how u feel, and also u think u are mature enough to make your own decisions. maybe then he might consider not going to the extremes of him not wanting u to be with this guy. i hope all goes well! xoxo if u hav anymore questions feel free to drop them in my inbox..kara [ sweetbabigurl's advice column | Ask sweetbabigurl A Question ]
Riggzy answered Tuesday September 14 2004, 9:17 pm: Well, he's way too old for you. I know you FEEL like you're in love, but don't be silly, girl, you're only thirteen. Plus, consider your brother. If this is his best friend, then you'll cause a rift between two people who have been friends for six years. And when you break up with his best friend, you will FURTHER damage their friendship. (And trust me, you WILL break up.) If you want to look at it selfishly, you deserve someone who isn't trying to use you for sex, which is what he's probably going to try to force you into, citing your age difference. If you're not selfish, you might realize that your brother deserves to be treated better than what you're proposing to do. [ Riggzy's advice column | Ask Riggzy A Question ]

While 4 years may not seen like a big deal, during the growth of the teenage years it is. You should continue to be his friend, but a romantic relationship between you two will most likely not work out. [ TheGovernor's advice column | Ask TheGovernor A Question ]
