portuprincess7 answered Saturday August 6 2005, 12:55 am: well i dont know...if your comfortable with him then i guess its fine but since your asking i guess you cant be completely not worried about it....im 15 and i know im lookin at guys who are 15 up to like 17....i would think that since he is only 12 he would be really immature...but it all comes down to how you both feel with each other...i mean age is only a number
hope that helped

passionate answered Friday August 5 2005, 6:16 pm: Well, boys around that age tend to be immature and people around you age tend to be more mature. I don't think there is anything wrong with that but make sure your not being used just so that he can brag to his friends. I have experience with those boys because I was held back and almost all the kids in my classes are 12 including the boys.
AbsoluteCuti170 answered Friday August 5 2005, 2:14 pm: Okay so there is quite an age gap but if you really love him then age shouldnt matter. If hes comfortable with it too then there is no problem. The point is that you care about each other and thats all that should matter but if you really think its a problem than talk to him about it. Go with what you feel inside.
**Hope i helped**

But you can still go out with him if you want.. i mean when your olllldderrr like in your 20s it wont really madder. But you could be friends for a while then date.

GymCutiex27 answered Friday August 5 2005, 1:51 am: Well it shouldn't matter about the age gap its about the feelings not the age. It might look a little wierd but if you guys really love eachother then mothing can get in the way of that not even the age gap!
jTsCeLlMaTe answered Thursday August 4 2005, 3:49 pm: I think that if both of you guys were 5 or 10 years older that it would be fine but at ya'll age there are a lot of differences that will come up and that it will cause problems with you guys but you can do what you want.
givingbackmonday answered Thursday August 4 2005, 2:54 pm: well...rigt now the 3 year age gap is a big deal because yall are at diffent stages of your life, you have different priorities and all that stuff. also since guys mature slower than girls, it might be a problem. but whatever you decide to do, good luck!

Curemysadness answered Thursday August 4 2005, 2:52 pm: Well first of all, guys mature a lot slower than girls do. Atleast that is the conclusion I have come to. If he treats you the way you feel you should be treated, and makes you happy..there is absolutely no reason you would need to break up. Especially if he is almost 13, or you just turned 15. If you really like him, and he really likes you, I think you should stay together! [ Curemysadness's advice column | Ask Curemysadness A Question ]
ESMEDINzBABE answered Thursday August 4 2005, 2:37 pm: I dont think itz a problem i know alot of people who do that!! Who carez what others say about your relationship becuase hes younger!! If you really love him then stay with him!! I hope i helped!!*~*MUAH*~* [ ESMEDINzBABE's advice column | Ask ESMEDINzBABE A Question ]
M_to_the_E_to_the_L answered Thursday August 4 2005, 1:52 pm: Seeing as boys mature much slower... i think it would be hard to date a younger guy at that age. Especailly when he's 12. I mean he's still in MS and you are in HS. Two completly different lifestyles and priorities at your age. For him its about having fun and goofing off and for you its abotu working hard to get good grades and start thinking abotu your furture. I think it's a bad idea but who am i to say because i'm 16 dating a 19 year old. [ M_to_the_E_to_the_L's advice column | Ask M_to_the_E_to_the_L A Question ]
devilspawn_666 answered Thursday August 4 2005, 12:50 pm: I think you should be worried about the age gap... It's a pretty big one. A 15 year old shouldn't be interested in someone 3 years younger than her. A 12 year old and a 15 year old are in two completely different places in their lives. If you really want to be together... wait a few years. [ devilspawn_666's advice column | Ask devilspawn_666 A Question ]
LoveNJstyle answered Thursday August 4 2005, 12:24 pm: thats not right...thats 2 completely different stages in life. guys at 12 are just hitting puberty and 15 year old girls are like full blown women compared to them. if you both are willing to take the complications (he cant go to clubs for a while, cant see R movies with you...)
then stay that way. <3 [ LoveNJstyle's advice column | Ask LoveNJstyle A Question ]
Teza answered Thursday August 4 2005, 12:24 pm: I dont think you should worry about that. You love him no matter how old he is and thats the important thing. Dont listen to what other people say if they think its wrong or weird just do whatever you feel is right. [ Teza's advice column | Ask Teza A Question ]
mrs_radcliffe answered Thursday August 4 2005, 12:22 pm: Hey no its not a problem if you love him then i dont see what the problem is. Who cares what people say or whateva! I think that theres nothing wrong with it.

jbdreamer answered Thursday August 4 2005, 12:11 pm: No, you shouldn't be worried about age gaps. However this boy is only 12. He is still a little kid. My bother is 12. Believe me, boys his age are not mature enough for to handle relationships. They laugh when they hear the word boob. The only reason he is dating you is for the title and to feel cool. Little boys are not looking for a girlfriend to love. [ jbdreamer's advice column | Ask jbdreamer A Question ]
Hanny answered Thursday August 4 2005, 11:40 am: I do not think that its wrong at all. The only thing that might be an issue is that he might start to be attracted to girls his age and you might start to be attracted to guys your age. But if you REALLY love eachtoer than nothing can come between you two!
SO no worries!
Hope i helped

krh028 answered Thursday August 4 2005, 11:30 am: seems like he could be more of a brother that a boyfriend. jeeze...i mean what has a 12 yearold got on a 15 yearold. yea i do think thats wrong...maybe in a couple years. [ krh028's advice column | Ask krh028 A Question ]
xXxpinky615xXx answered Thursday August 4 2005, 11:28 am: Well, alot of people say age is just a number. But when you're young, it can be something you should be really looking out for. In my opinion (And keep in mind this is just my opinion) at the age of 12, he's young to be dating a girl. 12 year old boys are stupid, immature and.... well really stupid and immature. You, being the age of 15 may be wanting to have a relationship, someone you can sort of settle down with and be with for a long time. A boy at the age of 12 is just going to want to date a 15 year old to show off to his friends and be like DUDE LOOK AT MY HOT ASS GIRLFRIEND SHE'S 15 MANNNN! He's only 12, I think he's going to want to date PLENTY of girls and not just be tied down to one girl. I do think that it's wrong for you to be dating a guy that is younger than you by that much, especially since you're going to be what? A freshman or a sophmore in highschool and he's only going into 7th grade?
You really need to think about whether this is something you want. What I think or anyone else thinks isn't something that should make up your mind on whether or not it's "right" to be with him. If you like him and he likes you, then date him! No one's stopping you. No one CAN stop you but you. [ xXxpinky615xXx's advice column | Ask xXxpinky615xXx A Question ]
twistedsister17 answered Thursday August 4 2005, 11:27 am: yeah, I don't really think thats going to work. It's not a good idea to date people 2 years or more differeance than you. People might make fun of you and you're a teenager and he's a preteen. Theres this girl that I know and strangely she is 15 and her boyfriend is 12....and well no offense, but I think you could find someone your age if you really wanted to. Maybe when you're much much older it would be okay...but not now, i mean, hes only 12...
Is there any chance that this is Mar Wood? If its not sorry...hope I helped...
vchicka15 answered Thursday August 4 2005, 11:24 am: I dont think thats wrong at all.. especially since your a girl dating a younger guy. I'm not saying it'd be wrong if it was a guy dating a younger girl, but most guys do that just to get some ass. good luck with your boyfriend [ vchicka15's advice column | Ask vchicka15 A Question ]
x3ILikeLoveYooh answered Thursday August 4 2005, 11:24 am: umm..no offense but i really think that is just not right. you need to find someone who is your age...! im not tyring to be mean hon but really..i think nyou should break it off and find someone at your school or just someone who is your age. hope i helped..*!
xRoOxiSxBlOnDex answered Thursday August 4 2005, 11:22 am: I think that might be a LITTLE too far.. Boys are immature enough at 15, let alone 12! But if it doesn't bother you then don't listen to anybody else. [=
