Age difference: we're a year apart but two grades!
Question Posted Wednesday April 26 2006, 8:14 pm
Age 14/f. There's this kid who lives down the street that I have a huge crush on. He's a year younger, which is fine with me. The only problem is that we are two grades apart. I am a freshman in high school and he is only in seventh grade. When I moved, something got mixed up with the cutoff dates and I am now a very young freshman (or a very old eighth grader.) We are a year apart, but as far as anyone else knows, it's actually two years. Do you think it's worth it to go after him? Or should I give up and look elsewhere? (If it makes a difference, he's still taller than I am by about an inch.)

If you really like a person it shouldn't matter what age they are. I say go for him and forget what anyone else thinks. =)

It doesn't really matter what everyone else thinks about this situation, all that matters is that you're both happy and comfortable with it. And also, even though you said he's taller then you, it still wouldn't really matter, aha. There are a lot of girls going out with guys who are taller, and I don't think looks matter much anyway. (Sorry I just wanted to add that)

If you really like him and he likes you back, go out, have fun, and just be yourselves. [ CavieOwnsU2's advice column | Ask CavieOwnsU2 A Question ]
