Like it or not you are both still considered children; although he is a teenager more mature and more experienced than you are.
It his maturity and experiences that you have yet to experience that is the problem here. You have not yet socialized as he has. You have not experienced how to fend off the advances of a young man seeking sexual gratification which makes you very vulnerable.
I question why a 15 year old would be looking to date a 12 year old. Do you even go to the same schools? Do you have any of the same friends? There are some alarm bells that go off in my head when someone his age looks to date someone so much younger than him. Words like predator and controller come to mind. These are words that make me fear for your safety as he should be dating girls in his own age group and school.
Stick with your current boyfriend. His wanting to date you really bad is another warning bell to me.
The fact that you have asked this question tells me that your internal warning system is telling you something is not right here. If so learn to listen to this alarm system as it will keep you safe. Tell the boy he is to old for you to date. If he continues to harass or plead with you to date him tell your parents and school officials. [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]

If you're looking elsewhere then thats worying.
Also its for no one to judge if you're too young or not, but all I would say is be careful-know what this older guy wants.
Is it just sex or is it a serious relationship? I'm afraid people commonly date others their age because they genuinly have things in common and similar experiences (like exams) being the same age.
MAke sure you know what the older guy wants exactly and whether you'd regret loosing your current boyfriend. It's not wise to hop from one bf to another-you'll regret your actions in the long run. [ kittenlover2000's advice column | Ask kittenlover2000 A Question ]
AdviceMistress answered Wednesday December 21 2011, 9:56 am: What about your boyfriend? That sounds kind of unfair that you would think of dating someone else while you are with your boyfriend. I guess in the end you should choose who you feel you're happy with. I think you need to be honest to your boyfriend instead of letting him find out the hard way.
