yeah man age is just a number rite????? isn't it.. where does one draw the line??? i don't know how old you are but i have the same problem... now when ever i tell my buddays of a friend that they don't know they're always like "oh she outta diapers yet" or "man not more 12teens again" man fuck that shit.. im with you one this one ... if she don't act or look it she ain't... it's just a number... if the calender wuz 6 months shorter then she would be 30 so whopdeedo

Hun I totally understand EXACTLY where you're coming from!! I say fuck um all... I mean you like her right?? That's all that matters. People who get all caught up in how old someone is instead of what kind of person they are and how mature and caring said person is are missing out on a lot of fabulous people in the world. Yes my boy is younger then me (which is a double stike since I'm a girl... damn fucking double standards) but I don't care. He's a great guy and I love him immensely... why should age matter?? It doesn't matter to me and that's all that counts really... your happiness... not your friends (well in this situation). I mean are they dating her?? No... so why should they care?? People who are so naive and close minded like that just really bother me. I hear about it all the time... trust me sometimes I just wanna punch them for the shit they say because they don't understand the situation and the feelings involved... but I don't I just explain it to them and if they want to continue being close minded pricks so be it... it's not any skin off my back!!

So I say you go for it hun and ignore your friends... you're the one who matters and I love seeing you happy hunee!!

i say go for it

however, society as a whole has a different opinion. Therefore, you should be extra careful. rule of thumb: if it's illegal....you PROBABLY shouldn't be doing it (or her, in this case)

KeeBLeR · #5 (**permalink**) Jun 23, 01

14 is the legal age of consent in bc so fuck society is wut i say! but i draw the line at 16.. if she hasn't seen a bday cake with 16 candles on it then it's off limits... that's my own personal oppion for myself

looks to me that your roomates are the ones that are being immature and should really be looking in the mirror when they'er bickering about ppl being young and "kids" or whatnot. you're not that much older than her. so wtf.

my bf is 2 years older than me. i dont think thats that big of a deal. im 18 and he turns 20 this year. i think its just cuz she's 15 and you're 18 (right?) in a few years (like when she's 17 and you're 20) it will be accepted by society. i mean as long as her and you and MAYBE her parents are cool with it then whatever.

ON WITH IT LEEE! ;]

c.tard · #8 (**permalink**) Jun 23, 01

hm..i take it your around 18 (goin by what stabby said) and just go for it y'know?? i was just in a relationship like that (i'm still 15...) and my bf is 18 now...

not many ppl said things bout it.. some ppl bugged him for going out with a younger girl... but maybe i was lucky cuz when i first met most of his friends and stuff they thought iw as 17.. (i look a bit older..)

but that was like my best relationship with a guy and y'know what?? it could be a really good one for you to so just go for it!! don't give up the opportunity just cuz your friends are being doorknobs bout the girls age.. if you like her.. take the chance..

but good luck with it all!

Since when do you care what other people think? It's your life and you do what you want. It's that simple.

Erica · #11 (**permalink**) Jun 25, 01

Go for her...they'll get over the age difference. Besides, if she makes you happy, then why does it matter if they don't approve? Yeah, I understand that it's annoying as hell when they're bugging you about it, but it'll slide eventually.

My last boyfriend was 24. I'm 17. I got shit for it for a little while from my friends, but I stuck to my heart and went for it. After some time passed, and they saw that I was happy, they respected our relationship and was happy for me.

Cuz Age doesnt matter!
WeRd to Lee!

Hey Lee,

Who cares what other people think ?? NOT ME . And neither should you .

Rasputin · #14 (**permalink**) Jun 25, 01

First off goomba, I don't recall making fun of you for that, I remember hassling you for being gone for 3 days and celebrating your birthday for a full week when you should have been looking for a job. And second, have balls, talk to me in person.

yoko* · #15 (**permalink**) Jun 25, 01

yah and u know wut else SUCKS?

being the YOUNGER one. when guys are so much older than you and u think that they wont respect you.. it sucks. I mean you don't want to be given the "little sister" treatment when ur head over heels for a guy who's older.

its just the way things are. Sum ppl judge u for the age and sum don't.. just the way it is..

I was at a party once.. ithink phantom or pulsate... and I was speaking to this guy.. I was quite a bit high. And i couldn't help the "touchiness".. anyway. we kept talkin and he was like "so how old are you?" and I'm like "16..." and I'm like "how old are you?" and he's like "oh!! you're 16!?? oh i'm too old for you.. i mean.. i'm old.." and I'm like WTF I'm not looking for a god damn relationship with you.. juss cuz U happen to be a guy and I happen to be a girl!?

But I can't say I don't understand the discrimination that every age gets. Because people who are younger, well. the majority of us tend to be less .. wut we call "mature".. than people who are older. Only becuz *most* older people have just had more time on this world...therefore more experience, and a lil more knowledge. Sum ppl mature faster than others.. a better grasp of things... but older ppl just have the advantage of more "birthday candles".. more time to learn. more time to adjust. So in sum cases I wouldn't blame any one for the whole descrimination part. Cuz sum kids are so shallow and narrow minded.. so ignorant it's quite crazy. And i can't deny that I can be immature as well.

hey but ya know......I'm living the "life" of a 16 year old, not by choice but becuz i was born in 1984. ;)

wundergirl · #16 (**permalink**) Jun 25, 01

when i was 14 - i dated a guy who was 17. we dated until - was 16 and he was nearly 20.

you need to make sure she knows what she's getting into. you need to talk to her and find out what kind of relationships she's had in the past and how her parents and peers will feel about the situation.

if you truly have mature feelings for this girl, then handle the situation as maturely as possible. make sure you discuss every possiblilty and scenario that might come up.

i'm not saying this to deter you, because i also beleive that age is just a number, but it does make things MUCH more stressfull in both of your lives, it's so much healthier if you can approach problems together, and you WILL have alot of problems just due to your age difference. Take it from someone who knows.

If you truly care for this person then go for it, love comes in all shapes and sizes but becareful that no one gets hurt.

good luck hon
