Ok, so I'm 19/f and about to enter my sophmore year in college. For the past two years, I've had this thing for my best friends little brother, who just turned 17 and about to be a senior in high school. We have never hooked up, with the only thing being done is me kissing him while I was hammered and he was completely sober. I'm about to go back to school in about a month, and I don't know if I should pursue something or not. Last summer I left without doing anything because I was going to go to college, and didn't want to be tied down for my freshman year, but this year, I think I may be ready to try something
But for one, theres the age difference. I know its only two years, but hes in high school and I'm in college. While he is mature for his age, he still lacks any experience in the girl department. Second, I'm not going to lie, I'm pretty crazy in college, and I'm afraid I would do something to mess it up, and the last thing I want to do is hurt him. He's on the right track, a pretty straight edge kid, and I'm, to say the least, the complete opposite. Third, he is my best friends little brother, and although she fully supports us, if something bad was to happen, I wouldn't want that to come in between me and my best friend.
But in the end, I really really really like him, and for the first time since I can remember, I might be willing to try somethinh. But there's only a month left in summer, and were not really at the point where we could start a relationship, and I don't know if we can get to that point in just a month. Especially since he's really shy, and I pretty much make the first move on everything. Basically, everythings just really confusing, and not a day goes by where I don't debate what to do. Sorry this is so long, but any help would be appreciated :-/
i'm 19 and i'm dating a 17 year old (: and he's one of the best things that's ever happened to me!
i know what you're talking about, the age thing. at first it seems really strange that you would be going out with a senior in HIGH SCHOOL, and you may care what others think, right? i felt the same way. but you cant help what you feel in your heart.
yeah college gets crazy with all the studying, all the work, all different kinds of people you see BUT my boyfriend has actually helped me straighten things out and calm me down with all the craziness going on in my life.
it's nice to have someone whose one of your best friends, but also a boyfriend. if you really like this guy, no other guy you see in college will compare to him and i've really figured that out.
go for it! it sounds like he's not the player type if he's really shy and you have to make the first move so i don't think you would have a problem trusting him either. i love to party in college, don't get me wrong who wouldnt! but you can go out and still have fun without having to cheat on this guy. he could even come visit you on the weekends.
i really think things could work out for you two, if you don't give it a try you'll never know what could have been and do you really want to regret it?

I'd leave it alone for now and concentrate on college and all the experiences you have there. Chalk it up to a little crush and let time take care of the rest.

I can give you some advice but most of this is going to be more on the opinion side..
1. It is hard to maintain a relationship with a high school student while you are in college not only are you preoccupied in school work and studying but he has got his part to worry about. Yes, It probably will tie you down. You two are in different stages in your life.
2. He could be a great guy and all but how do you know "IF YOU DO" date him he won't mess around in High School? The fact is ANYTHING could happen even when you least exspect it.
My Opinion: I would focus on school, You might of liked him for quite some time now but I think your best bet is too let it fly by. Not only are you an adult but he is also still a minor and still in High School...It is up too you on what you want too do, If you think you should approach him then go for it just remember what I said.
