My older BF is moving way too fast...

My BF is 16, and I am 12. Usually when we hang out, he kisses me before he leaves, but the other day, we were in my room and he turned out the lights and got very close and made out with me, and, well, you know. Do you think he’ll try to make me not a virgin?


Dear Too Young,
That is a huge age difference! I suggest you break up before things get even more complicated. Tell him, “I’ve realized I’m not ready for such a serious relationship…” Or take the easy way out and blame it on your parents. Tell him they won’t let you see him anymore. If you do stay with him, avoid being alone in the dark and explain very clearly that you are nowhere near ready for sex. Don’t be defensive or apologetic. Be comfortably definite. When girls have sex at your age, it is usually coerced, not consensual. If anyone “makes” another person have sex, that’s not intimacy – it’s rape. Moreover, though laws vary from state to state, having sex with someone your age could be considered statutory rape.

I'm twelve and everyone my age has dated. I'm kind of shy though, and I don't know how to get anyone to like me. Any help?

I'm twelve and my last boyfriend was 15. The good thing about him was he never tried anything unless i told him it was ok, and we only pecked, not even made out. Last year he moved to a different continent and he found another girl, but she looks like me. He keeps telling her over facebook everything that he always told me on a daily basis, including favorite songs, quotes, stories. I really want to tell him that it makes me sad to see them but I can't because he hasn't turned into my "Bad Ex" He's turned into my best friend :/ What do I do?

K first off that 16yr old is really creepy probably stalker creepy and u should break up with him if he wants to make out with you in dark places.The other part of this is that he should NOT be dating you,you are 12 and he is 16,if he wants do that with someone it should be with someone his age(if even).If you want to date someone maybe you should try someone your age.But you made a good choice posting this trying to get advice from a mod and by the way mod good advice.You made some really good points in there.
