im 15/f and i like this 17/m.
we both go to the same school. he is a senior and i am a sophmore. yeah i know it seems pointless, and your probably saying to yourself that im dumb because he will graduate with in a few months. I really really like him though and he really really likes me. He has asked me to be his "girlfriend" ..so ill put it, and i said no because i feel i will just be heartbroken in the end because he is graduating. The thing is though I really want to go out with him and be his girlfriend but I have horrible realtionship issues, and I feel i will become attached and it will all just go down hill from there. I really need some advice please help me if you can. Thank you so much.

Yes, you could go out for a month, hate each other, and nothing will come out of it. Or, you could have a violent breakup after he goes away and you can't handle the long distance relationship. But that's the case in any relationship, with anything in life. You never know how things will go, so give it a shot. Giving up before you try never gets you anywhere!
As for your horrible relationship issues: as I don't know what they are, I can't give you any real advice on those. However. You are fifteen, the age when many people are entering their first real relationships. A little young to have deemed yourself with permanent issues in the relationship department, don't you think?
Go out with him. Take it slow and casual if you think this will ease your anxiety, or suggest you date for a bit before you put the "girlfriend" label on yourself.
masterclinic answered Tuesday January 29 2008, 8:09 pm: Find out if he is into long term relationships if not then trust your instincts and don't say yes. If he is i suggest you take that chance and tell him that you will be his girlfriend. Once you find out there isent anything holding you back you both really like each other. Best of luck [ masterclinic's advice column | Ask masterclinic A Question ]
raebabyyyy answered Tuesday January 29 2008, 7:22 pm: Hey, if you truly like/love someone and you have strong feelings for them, you can find ways to work it out. Certain things are just meant to be! I know what you're feeling. My boyfriend's in the Navy's basic training right now, I won't see him for about 2 months and then he graduates, goes to California for his 1 year of advanced training. So, I won't get to see him at all. But we love eachother and plan on being married. If you feel like this guy is worth all the trouble, go for it. Just think about how strong your feelings are for him and the answer should be easy. :) [ raebabyyyy's advice column | Ask raebabyyyy A Question ]

Well first of all, you arent stupid for liking him. and second of all, theres nothing writen in stone that every highschool graduate dumps his younger girlfriend. Maybe it is a long shot, but you cant go into something thinking it will end. And third of all, you will regret it if you dont go for it. I mean, maybe you think that it will end and you're get heart broken, but even if you last right up until september, thats seven months of fun times with him that you wont have if you dont put yourself out there, and think about it this way, if you start dating some sophomore, theres nothing saying that he wont dump you in three weeks because theres some new chick in his life. Its up to you to decide, but remember nothing ventured, nothing gained. This could potentially be the man of your dreams and you're letting fear get in the way, maybe you will get hurt, but everyone has to get hurt once in a while, otherwise no one would ever date anyone.
I think you're jumping the gun with the relationship issues, I think you should try it, if you have issues, let me know and I'll give you more advice, but take it one step at a time, and if you wanna go out with this guy, GO FOR IT!!
Good luck, and I hope you make the right decision for you. Hope I helped, love ya,
