I like this boy who is 4 years older than me. I am 13 years old.He has alot of respect for me and everyone else. I think he likes me. Today he gave me a heart from his fingers and was trying to hug me. He is really funny.He doesn't go with anybody.I don't know if I should go with him because of the age difference. Should I go for it or what?
beachhun101 answered Friday March 24 2006, 12:00 am: i really dont think so. at 13, i dated a guy one year older than me, and even that was difficult because he was more experienced and since i was young "wanted to teach me things". he was super nice and sincere, but when i think about it, the age thing just made him seem more in control and i kinda just followed his every move. it doesnt seem like it would affect you, but you feel kinda like you ahve to follow his role and he knows more than you. especially a 4 year age difference-thts huge when your in teenage years. im sorry but i think it would be in your best interest for you to stay with your own age group. ps 18 year old goin out w/ younger could be like date rape.
<3hope it works out. [ beachhun101's advice column | Ask beachhun101 A Question ]
Alpha345 answered Thursday March 23 2006, 10:06 pm: You think an attempted hug and a heart from his fingers constitutes him liking you?
I give alot of my friends a hug every day, do I like them? As friends I do, but not as significant others. And you said he doesn't do with anybody.
I'm sorry, but you really have a lack of information right now. Now say if he were to hug just you, then maybe I would raise my eyebrow at it and say maybe, but from you've told me, I get more of a friendship type of deal.
Btw, if you are dead set in your head he likes you, then by all means, go for it. And age doesn't matter anyway, so there really isn't a problem there.
But like I said above, from what you said I get more of a friend type of feel from him to you.
x0shortiex0 answered Thursday March 23 2006, 8:52 pm: go for it gurl, age ain't nothing but a number and if he likes you and you like him then try it and see what happens, don't listen to other people i've dated peoplem who were older then me and im the same age as you, its not really that much of a difference because when you get even older like 18 you'll be dating people in their 20 and stuff so just go for it you only got one life to live, so live it to the fullest!!

TheTeenGirl answered Thursday March 23 2006, 7:27 pm: Do you have any idea how much of a gap that is between the two of you? WAY too big.
In reality, age difference does matter. I don't care what the other columnists say about it. Age does matter.
Let's just think about this. This guy is about seventeen years old. If he had respect for you, don't you think he'd be looking at you as a middle school child that has a girly crush on him? He's almost out of high school!
You say this guy is great and respectful. Hmm..so howcome this guy is going as low as thirteen? Come on. He needs to grow up and get a girlfriend his own age.
SoInToYoUx0x answered Thursday March 23 2006, 6:58 pm: i think if you like this go for it. i used to be in the same situition as you are in now. i would give it a chance because age is only a number. a couple points i would like to tell you about.
1) make sure you dont ever do what you dont want to do
2) since he is older he might want to get somethin from you (sex)
3) just be careful
4) i would end the realtionship be4 he turns 18 because he can go to jail for that.
hope this helps. and i hope everything works out.

ThugGirl041790 answered Thursday March 23 2006, 6:35 pm: he can get in trouble when he turns 18 if he has a relationhsip with you..
But i really look at it as noboy`d business so if you want him go for it..
I think he is a bit old && things but this is your personal decision..
karenR answered Thursday March 23 2006, 6:29 pm: Since he is 17 I think he is to old for you.
Not that 4 years is a lot but as soon as he turns 18 he can be thrown in jail for dating you.
