Okay, so I'm 14 and I RALLY like this guy on my bus, he's 18 though. He told my friend that he thought I was hot, and I mean he is SAWWOOOONNN!!! I haven't talked to him much, but should I even bother? I mean, I doubt we'd go out, too much of an age difference but should I try to get to know him and stuff? HES SOOO HOT!!!
Lovedoctor answered Saturday March 26 2005, 1:00 pm: Hmm, that is a big age difference. I...don't think you should go out with...straight away. 18 yr. old's think alot different than 14 yr. olds do, they want to do more stuff. You know? Just try to get to know this guy first, then move on from there. I might be able to work between yall, because most couples are a couple of years apart, I know one couple that's 12 years apart. Just follow your heart! Good-luck! [ Lovedoctor's advice column | Ask Lovedoctor A Question ]

devilspawn_666 answered Friday March 25 2005, 9:03 pm: My advice to you is to try being friends with him. You won't know if you like him as a person if you never talk to him. As for a relationship, you should definatly wait until you're a few years older. The things that concern an 18 year old and the things that concern a 14 year old are totally different. I don't mean in a sexual way, I mean that an 18 year old is thinking about future careers and where to go after high school. The gap between levals of maturity is way too great at this point, at least from what you've said. Not to mention the fact that you could get this guy in A LOT of trouble with the law. Dating an underage girl is probably not something he wants to get in trouble for at this point, especailly since he doesn't even know you.
blondie1115 answered Friday March 25 2005, 9:02 pm: hey,
well if i were you i would get to know him, but be careful he might just want sex, so when you are with him try to be in public places,and always have yourfriends there. [ blondie1115's advice column | Ask blondie1115 A Question ]
RoadkillSalad answered Friday March 25 2005, 8:41 pm: Too much of an age difference, and it's also a matter of maturity. He's probably a lot more mature than you are (not calling you stupid by any stretch of the imagination, just as far as all that stuff). Besides, you're going on the fact that he's very attractive. Is it worth it going after people just because they're attractive? Not really, considering he could be the biggest jerk on earth, but you don't know that. Pick the person you want to spend your time with wisely - A good friend is always a good choice, or at least someone you know that sets good standards. You can get to know him if you want to, he's bound to blow you off because of your age, but being friends with someone who's a lot older is cool, I just wouldn't hold my breath for a relationship.

jeanine278972 answered Friday March 25 2005, 8:39 pm: Age is a NUMBER. To me.. it means absolutely nothing.. except in a lot of states.. its against the law for someone over the age of 18 to even be dating someone underage.. so be careful about that.. but i say go for it.. you never know till ya try!

punkrockprincess answered Friday March 25 2005, 8:09 pm: I think you could definetly get to know him better! But personally, I don't think you should date him. Maybe wait until you're 18 and then it won't be that big of a difference. I know age ain't nothin' but a number, but it just sounds so wrong to me. But I think you two could definetly be friends!
Karen answered Friday March 25 2005, 7:49 pm: Well, if he thinks you're hot, that's a good thing because it means that he has been noticing you lately. You should definitely talk to time and get to know him. The age difference between you is only 4 years, which isn't bad, but grade wise, there is a possibility of you two going out but like you said, I doubt it.
