Secondly, i wish i could say that age doesn't matter like everyone else on this site, but unfortunately it does. You can go ahead and get in a relationship with this boy, but you have to take into account what his family is going to think, and what your family is going to think. Is it worth all of the drama? Your about to be 16 years old. Your probably in your 10th or 11th year of high school soon. Wouldn't you want to date someone you can take with you to the dances and go see movies with and everything? Like i said, if you like him, go ahead and try it. But hes going to be MUCH more immature than you are in the long run!

16 being the age of majority in most states, I think you should probably just not get involved until he is older. [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
rissagurl answered Monday June 14 2010, 6:40 pm: I think that the age thing isn't really such a big deal if you say that you love the boy. I mean i have been in realationships were i have dated younger boys and most of the time had no problem with it. Also think about it this way when people get older and they get married they are most of the time not the same age and lots of marriages last. I think that you should just stick it out. And also don't let anyone tell you an different if they have a problem with it forget them [ rissagurl's advice column | Ask rissagurl A Question ]
Hmph7 answered Monday June 14 2010, 12:40 pm: Have you ever heard "Age is but a number"?
I always thought how LAME that was, but believe me when I say this; I have seen many successive relationships even with an age gap.
First wait a while. See if your feelings for the boy changes quick upon seeing another.
If your feelings aren't changing and you are hooked ONLY on him. Yea, I see some feelings.
Love is something that is too powerful for some people to understand. You also need to realize that you need to be careful because sometimes, you may THINK you are in love, but truly at the end, it was an infatuation.
