Okay, He's 17, I'm 14, I really really REALLY like him and have known him for about 5-7 years. Family freinds, tight. whatever. ANd he knows I like him and he's said a bunch of times that he like's me as much, we were valentine's, have plans on "hooking up", and then I asked him what our relationship was, and he says "friends with benefits" and I was hurt by it, just because freinds with benfits sounds like he doesn't care about me as much as I do him, even though he's said it. I know age is a thing to get over, but it's not that bad. When he's 18 it'll be differnt. And he and I live in different towns, like 30 minutes away, and see eachother on vacations and what not. Distane and age is not an issue for me at all. But it is for him. And I don't know what to do, because I really like him, and can't figure out what he wants from me. Any adivce? I'll rate and whatnot.
karenR answered Saturday March 5 2005, 12:36 am: I know you probably like this guy but here is the problem. When he turns 18, if you two really "hook up", he can get in some big time trouble.It is called indecent liberties with a minor and can get him thrown in jail should your parents decide they don't like the idea.
I'm sure he likes you well enough but he has to think of these things.And I don't think you would like him to get into trouble with the law either would you?
The "friends with benefits" remark was really a hurtful thing to say. My advice on it is this-Boy's and men sometimes say REALLY stupid things and think they are being cute. They USUALLY mean no harm by them, but they hurt just the same.Let him know you were hurt by it.
I think you would be much better off finding a boyfriend closer to your own age.I know 3 years doesn't seem like a lot of years and when you are older it won't be a big deal,but right now it is even if you don't realize it. [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
punkrockprincess answered Saturday March 5 2005, 12:21 am: first of all: you're too young to be hooking up.
second of all: i know you dont care, but he's too old for you sweetheart.
and finally: obviouslly he doesnt truly care about you if he has the nerves to call you a friend with benifits. so drop him and leave him.= and find someone new..hopefully around your age...
xluvinux answered Friday March 4 2005, 11:26 pm: I think he likes you, but he doesn't want it to interfere with anything going on in his life. He might be scared when he turns 18 you won't be together. Another possibility is that he just wants to do stuff with you. If he truly liked you I think he would have answered you by saying you two were boyfriend/girlfriend. If distance and everything is an issue for him, you'll have to respect that. You can talk to him about it, but may not be able to just change his mind. If friends with benefits is all he wants to be, then I think it's a good idea to lay low on the relationship for awhile. You may be ready to fall for him, but maybe he's not quite ready to catch you. ;-)
Magic answered Friday March 4 2005, 11:26 pm: I think you should talk to him and tell him how you feel. And tell him that you were hurt by him saying you were friends with benifits.... Tell him that you want a serious relationship and that age and distance is not a problem for you and that you are willing to work with it..... hope i helped....
