Question Posted Thursday February 24 2005, 9:50 pm
ok i'm 17/f (almost 18) and i tend to fall for younger guys. the past 3 guys that i've liked (i went out with one) have been 15 and young 16. i'm a senior and they're all sophomores (one should be a junior). to make it better, my brother is a sophomore as well, and is older than one of them (the one i went out with). my friend says that going out with sophomores would make me look like i'm easy (which i'm definitely not...i'm waiting until marriage). is there any way that i could get myself to stop liking younger guys or is there nothing wrong with it? thanks so much :)

I really like her and we get along so wonderfully. I love to hang out with her too. YOu will always appreciate your boyfriends as long as they are loyal. If your older most of the time they will be 100% loyal. Dont worry about it.

It's not your fault that you have feelings for them. If you like a guy and if he likes you, then that is what matters and not what your friend thinks. If you feel that you want to stop liking guys that are younger than you, convince yourself that they are really young and that you shouldn't go out with them. Trust me, you won't seem easy when you go out with guys that are younger than you. There are other people in this world that like people that are about 5 years younger than them.

Just a reminder, though. I know you're saving yourself from marriage, but you may be over the age of consent and you're dating guys under the age of consent. (Age of consent is different for every state.) Parents who don't want their younger son dating an older woman may start making up stories, etc.
All I'm trying to say is this; if you want to date younger boys, then dammit, date them! You just gotta be very aware of the age of consent problem.
