i think it's not unusual to see that 6-year age gap these days.
i've known someone whose age gap is like a decade, this guy is like 40 and the girl is like, 30 years old.
and when i was 17, i dated someone who was 7 years older than me. sweatingbullets.gif you know, just date kind of stuff. we weren't really together. lol


but think about it, he's 20 and you're 14.. but are you sure he's not taking advantage of you? don't get me wrong i'm not against your relationship but see, isn't your relationship too risky? and if i were you, i would date guys who are around my age.

but if you really like him, i guess you could work on the differences between the two of you and learn from each other. goodluck on your relationship. smile.gif



i'd throw myself to the sea
if god promised that you're inside.
when i saw you, i fell in love,
and you smiled because you knew.

True^^ Thanks.

Life isn't about if you have lots of friends, or if you are alone, and it's not about how accepted or unaccepted you are. Life just isn't about that. But life is about who you love and who you hurt.

Age doesn't really matter in my opinion. But what will happen if you stop liking him? Since you're still young, you might lose interest and fall for someone else. He's 20, he's at the age where he could get married. Would you still like him for the next 3-4 years?

I think as long as you can handle that and you only see it as a number good on you wink.gif
as long as he isn't pressuring anything on you, so far he seems like a nice guy,
just don't rush into anything ^-^!!

personally, I think I wouldn't be able to handle that kinda situation, how I'm in college and who knows where he's gonna be, but we're still at different stages in our lives, I don't think it would work between me and the guy.

I think it all just depends on what the younger one's age is.

I mean six years would be weird for like a 11 year old with a 17 year old.

But like 20 and 26 wouldn't be bad, do you see what I mean?


I mean if you're sure this guy is not like a pervert, then you're sure.
You shouldn't need to question it(:

14 and 20 is a pretty big difference at that age... One's in high school while the other's in college. One's an adult and one just became a teenager. I say wait a bit first.

when you're in highschool and you're dating someone like out of school
i think it's a bit weird, but when you're both out of school everything seems alright
my parents are 10 years apart, but i'm okay with that
It's only weird when you're still in school.

i am the master of my fate , i am the captain of my soul

In the relationships that I have had, no. But as a get older it does start to matter. It really depends on the person and how I feel about them.

No offense ... but 14 years old and 20 years old is a huge difference........


age is just a number.
my parents are 10 yrs apart.
my aunt + uncle are 12 years apart.
but they seem happy together, so what the heck!

but.. for some high schooler to date .. er a college student is just o_o

i think it would be okay if you were out of high school.. and dating older guys.
but thats my opinion? do i make sense? haha

the guy i like.. i`m older than him by.. 7 months?

Sooo...this is a fairly simple story, nothing big to expect...sorta.

Anyway, I had a crush on this guy who worked at Starbucks...we'll call him "M." And his friend was always there whenever I tried to hit on "M," let's call this guy "E." So E told me one day that M already had a gf...and that he (E) was still available *insert wink here* But he, of course, was only joking. As months went by, and many frequent Starbuck trips later...E and I got to know each other (err...I mean, I got to know him)...I used to stay hours and hours just to talk to him, even sometimes after close. The only problem was...I never told him anything about myself...because I knew from the start that he was probably in his 30's the first time I met him...while here I am, still a teenager...not even in college yet >.< He's 27...and I'm 17. He doesn't know that I'm 17...he tried to guess my age one day, he guessed that I was 24...and I had no heart to say "No, you're wrong. I'm 17." He's dropped so many hints...and even asked me to hang out a few times. He's a great person...and I have so many...feelings for him. But the thought of him being so close to 30 is like wow...he's really...old. I'm turning 18 in 6 months...should I wait until then to tell him my age? But even so...he's ten years older than me...and then he'd think about how when we first started talking, I was still a minor...isn't that a turn off? Is this okay? It's not just a crush anymore...I actually feel really drawn to him...I find myself longing to see him each and everyday. Going to Starbucks is no longer for that hot cup of coffee or cute "M" anymore...I realized that my only purpose is to see E...Although I keep all my personal info from him, it seems as though he's drawn to my "mysteriousness." Which isn't the case at all! I just don't want him to know my age! When he finds out...is that considered me lying to him? Even if I were only hiding the truth? Will that make him feel extremely deceived?

I know that he at least has a crush on me...but when he finds out my true "identity," how would he react? If you were a 27 year old guy, would you give it a shot with a 17 year old girl? What if you were 28 and she was 18? Even if she were legal, is a ten year age difference still okay? What should I do about this?

theres not really any problems like as cliche as it sounds - love has no barriers - but now to the real world.....it's fine to have a relationship with him....but if u two ever become intimate he can get screwed over if you two get caught or u bust him -- wink wink*......

Lying? it's funny if he said You're lying.
He never ask, you never lied, you simply hide it.
Well he never asked you, so how can he blame you.
He took a guess, but i don't know what happen after that... I hope you didn't say you're like 20... otherwise you ARE lying then....

Well.... If I were the guy. I wouldn't be with you.
Because I'm 28. Time to think about marriage. Someone who is 17 years old can't get married yet, or at least shouldn't.
It's not about legal having sex or what. if I care about sex so much, I can just have sex even though it's illegal, not like anyone will know. It's about the marriage.

I'm bad at these. I can't tell you whether you should go for it or not o.o
but I tell you he might not want you once you say you're 17. and i say MIGHT.
