Should you go for a guy your age or older?

  • When's the right time to spill your feelings?
Two boys asked me out, and I don’t know which one to go out with. One is 13 (like me), and he is nice and cares for me—but I don’t think he’s cute. The other says he loves me, and he is sooo cute and sweet—but he’s 18.

 

Dear Double Dudes,

Going out with a guy five years older than you is a big mistake at this stage of your life. But that doesn’t mean you have to go out with the other guy, either! Who says you have to pick one of these two dudes? The world is bursting with guys—over 3 billion, to be precise—so there’s no need to make snappy decisions. This is definitely not your last chance at romance. Sometimes, the getting-to-know-a-guy thing is more fun and less complicated than the going-out-with-a-guy thing. BTW, once you get to know the not-so-cute guy a little better, you might find him cuter (or not). Who knows?

Is it weird for a girl to date someone a few years older thn her? (15 and 18)

 

Hey sassykinz, I think 18 is a little old for a 15 year old. 18 is basically and adult, and at 15 you're just starting high school. Xoxo Smile

13 and 18 is a huge difference- not to mention it's illegal. But I do have a thing for juniors... I'm a freshman... but that's only two years...

I believe the main problem with dating someone way older then you like that is the fact that he could be ready for things you aren't, things that will be okay for him before you, like drinking. Also, a boy that is way older then you like that could also be ready to do things you are waaay not ready for, and may end up regretting.

Just some words for though!
