Ok..I dated this guy for a couple of months but he was 6 yrs older than me..I'm 16..we were first just friends but then we began to "love" each other. I would go by him everyday but we never did anything really..then we almost did and I stopped him...he got a bit mad at me. He said he didnt want to date me now at 16 because he didn't want me to do things that were not right..we didnt talk for awhile...then he called but we are sort of awkward friends now...I still like him though and i told him but he said he dont want to destroy my life. Should I get back with him? If yes how?

parvatysa123 answered Monday July 14 2014, 11:27 am: For me, I wouldn't go back for the guy! Here are the reason why:
1. You are way out of his age. He is 6 years older then you. So he's 22. He can maybe bring you to do things that you cannot do at your age. You are real to young to go out with an adult. You never know, if he wants to have sex, or do this and that to you. You have to be careful
You're way too young to do these things. [ parvatysa123's advice column | Ask parvatysa123 A Question ]
adviceman49 answered Sunday July 13 2014, 6:40 am: To be brutally honest there are two things wrong with this relationship.
1. It is illegal and he could go to jail just for being with you. Nothing sexual has to take place it is assumed and he would or could be charged with statutory rape. In many states this charge could earn him anywhere from 5 years to life in prison depending on what state you live in.
You are a minor and under the age of consent. He is 6 years older than you and an adult. These are the qualifying reasons justifying the charges. If you two ever crossed a state line together he could also face federal charges of violating the Mann Act which could also earn him a life in prison sentence.
2. There is something wrong when a 22 year old dates 16 year olds. The first thought that jumps into my head is pedophile. He may not be, he may be one in the making. It doesn't matter you are in danger when there is this great an age difference at your present age. If you were 26 and he 32 that would be a different story but neither of you are those ages.
My advice is if your parents are not aware of the age difference or not aware you are dating this man you tell them so that they can decide if they want to take any appropriate action. You have been luck he did not hurt you. The next girl your age or younger may not be so lucky.
Thentheresthat answered Saturday July 12 2014, 11:02 pm: At the moment it seems like you would consider rekindling your relationship the ultimate happy ending. In reality it is not. Why? Because true love has to consider what is best for the partner and the integrity of what once was a good relationship. Dating him at this age can put him in great trouble. At this point you need to use the love you have for him to keep him out of that trouble. For his saftey set your sights on trying your best to forget him and move on.

sizzlinmandolin answered Saturday July 12 2014, 8:58 pm: No. He's right. An age difference of 6 years isn't a big deal when you're in your mid-20's or older, but at your age it's too much. Any guy that is 22 that would want to be with a 16 year old, no matter how mature she was to talk to or how much he liked her, has something wrong with him. It's natural for a 16 year old to fall in love with someone older, but it's just a crush and is NOT a good idea for a relationship. He's too far ahead of you in life for the relationship to be meaningful or balanced. Stop trying to pressure him into it and move on. We all have that older guy that we fell in love with when we were young. Let him be that and that only for you. If when you're 22 and both of you are single maybe it's worth a shot, but for now, you're not ready for him yet. You're probably going to disagree and you probably don't understand why, but just trust me on this. You don't want to push him into being with someone who is too young for him. Good luck.
