The Guy At the Video Shop
I've been going to my local video shop for years now, and this incredibly attractive guy just started working there. I didn't think much of him until a few friends pointed out (on different occasions) that he was checking me out. Whenever I'm at the counter he flirts with me, but I am the most socially retarded person ever and I can't flirt.
I Googled him the other day and found his MySpace page, and read his bio and his interests and such, and we share so many things in common it's absurd. I also found out his age. He's 20. I am 15. I'm in my second last year of high school. He's a second-year university student.
My question is this: Would it be acceptable if I made a move?
NOTE: I'm from Queensland, Australia & in our education system I will graduate two days after I turn 17. This isn't weird, I haven't been skipped up a grade, I just happen to be born at the end of the school year.

Hey! :)
Dont add him on myspace because that would be like... A little weird maybe?.... Anyway . I think you should make a move, people would say dont make a move but hey if its close to llegal and you find hes checking you out anddd he doesnt act to much older than you then make a move... Ask him for his number,or name or anything. If you want to make an even bigger move give him a small note of some sort with your name and number tellinghim youre interested. But DO NOT make the note long and lovey dovey teeny bopper like :)
Goodluck girl!

The most standard response you're going to receive is "no". It's actually not uncommon for people to date with such a big age gap, even in high school. My sister started dating her boyfriend when she was 16 & he was 21. She is now 23, and they are happily married. Cassie from Australia's Next Top Model is 16. Her boyfriend is 22, although that is a bit of a stretch.
Under Queensland's Age of Consent Laws, you are legally allowed to have sex with anyone over 16 once you yourself are 16. And as long as your parents are cool with you being in a relationship with him, I say go for it.

It would be kind of inappropriate for you to make a move because of your age difference. You see, when you are as young as you are, 5 years is comparable to 15 or 20 years as an adult, which is very uncommon.
It's probably best that you find someone either your age or closer to your age. Because this guy can get into serious legal trouble.
I'm sorry =/

No, it wouldn't be acceptable if you made a move. I've repeatedly heard people respond to questions like this with "age is just a number" and "love knows no boundaries", but with a 20 year old and a 15 year old there really isn't a good way that this situation could end for either of you.

because of the age difference i dont suggest it right now. he could get in trouble
