Okay, not sure if this is the wrong category....but what ever. So I'm 16 and he's...14? Yeah, we met...3 days ago? Wow, oh yeah by the way when I say met I mean, he added me on myspace 3 days ago.
So it goes down like this, I was bored and feeling lousy because of some stupid unrelated problems to this...and I get a random friend request from some guy. I accept and right after I accept I get a IM, we start talking about random stuff after we introduce ourselves, and then somehow we start talking about our past, we both had pretty crappy child hoods, blah. And we have this long constant conversation, he made me feel so comfortable and happy I started thinking wow, this guys really cool. Then I had to go after what...4 straight hours of talking to him through IM?! Geez anyways, right before I logged out I went to check his profile since I never got the chance to, and I see he put me on his top. I'm the second one? Already? Wow, the second day, I get home from school a bit excited to log in and hope he was on, why? I don't know...He IM's me, we chat things are going nice. Since him and I go to different campuses for school he asks me when he can visit, I asked him why'd he'd want to visit. He said to see what it's like. Hmmmm....I didn't believe that was the main reason then again...So well after our long convo' again, which I was feeling depressed he once again made me feel better and he's telling me to stay happy. Hm, I've come to find that I like him...alot. This has never happened usually it takes me a long time before I can like like someone and with him in just one day I started to develope feelings for him? Wtf?! Am I a weirdo? The other thing that bothers me is the age, I'm 16 he's 14...How could I like a 14 year old? Am I a pedo'...Gosh, He's not the best looking guy but I do like him alot, but I'm not sure if he likes me. Though I get the feeling, say...Intuition?
I'd like to bring up the idea of hanging out in person but...I don't know how. Or when, I'm also shy and concerned about rejection...I know this all seems so sudden only 3 days and I'm already frekin' out? Why?! I don't know!
I've only had 2 boyfriends, not because I'm ugly or anything and I'm not being conceded but there are always guys after me. I just don't listen to them because I'm not one to be from man to man and toss the word "love" around. Not saying that I love this kid. Just that I like him very much! :)
So yeah, I'm sorry if it's like very long...Thank you for any and all help!
Anyone can say they are 14,15,16 etc. I'm pretty sure if I tried hard enough even I could pull one off. The point is, People on the internet are not always what they say they are even if they show a picture because we know we can get pictures just about anywhere on the internet. 3 Days is a short time to say "Yeah I like him, We totally click!" Do you know anything about him? With that being said not what he told you. Anyone can say anything to get attention. It sounds like you have insecurity issues, I'm not saying this in a way to be offensive but think about the situation and the way you are handling it. If you want to talk online that's fine, but meeting in person should be a definite NO. At least give yourself that much respect [ OhMyLucyDarling's advice column | Ask OhMyLucyDarling A Question ]

but if you really do like him, i say 3 days? so what? you think romeo and juliet started liking eachother after 18 years? nope. and age is but a number, girlie. i'm a junior and i've dated freshman thinking "screw you people who look down on me, i like this person and you can't break my vibe." dig?
