How old is too old?

My boyfriend and I have an 11-year age difference. Everyone says I should break up with him, but I like him a lot. I don't know what to do. Help!!


Whoa! An 11-year difference? One or two years is fine for someone your age, but a guy that old dating someone your age is eyebrow-raising at best and law-breaking at worst. Depending on the state, it's illegal for a person 18 years or older to be involved with a person younger than 18.

Legal issues aside, it also raises another question: Why isn't he dating a girl his own age? That seems pretty strange in my opinion. Think about it, girlie, when you get to be his age, would you ever consider being with somebody 11 years younger if you didn't have some creepy ulterior motive in mind?

Not only is it odd and illegal, but a lot of things change the situation when a person is that much older than you. He will undoubtedly expect a lot of you at some point, perhaps more than you're ready to give. Though he may not pressure you for it, he very well might.

Your friends are speaking the truth, babe. There are many things about this that ring "uh-oh" bells. Sometimes you have to go against your feelings to do what you know is right.

Ok so u know how in most states its illegal if your 18 to date someone younger well if your dating someone like a month older or younger would that be ok?

 

hey girl! you mean like if someone is 17 and 11 months and the other is 18? That should totally be fine! xoxo

I really like this guy but he is 3 years older is it bad or it find to go out with him help!!

Hey girl,

Three years can be a lot when you're young, but it really depends on the situation! If your parents are okay with it, there's no harm in seeing what it's like to go on a date with him, but if he's pressuring you into anything you're not ready for, steer clear and go for someone your own age!

So i like this one guy. He sits behind me in world cultures and always messes with my hair and asks me questions. I've liked him for a year now and all of my friends say he likes me but im not completely sure what to do. I want to find out but if he doesn't i dont want out friendship to become weird.
Any advice?




Hey girlie,

Try throwing in some subtle flirting moves to see how he reacts! Compliment him on something. Tease him about something, like playfully making fun of him. Ask him to hang out in a group setting so you can get to know each other outside of school. Talk online or text, instead of only talking in school. Basically, take your friendship to the next level! If he's into it and seems to flirt back, that's a great sign Smile
