Is this wrong, forbidden love?

Question

I normally hang out with people who are older than me...but this summer I met this guy who I didn't know was only fifteen...he hung out with my group of friends and he didn't seem that young...Eventually we were hanging out like every day, if it was just with one other person or group. I just turn eighteen and we both really like each other. He's actually really mature and sweet but he's like fifteen...my friends tell me that it doesn't really matter because he doesn't act like he is and that I really like him but it's just...the age difference is killing me and I don't know why because when I was 14, 15 I was dating 18-19 year olds. Is this wrong? Should I just end it now before things start to get too serious? I know having s*x would be illegal but I'm a virgin anyways and want to wait...

Answer 1

Answer 4

follow your heart. thats all i can say. but dont make it to exclusive people will talk and can get you in trouble

also honey dont worry about age. my boyfriend and i are 5 years apart we started dating a year and 2 months ago. i was 15 he was 20 we never intended to date we were just hanging out cuz i liked his cousin who was 16 but i ended up really liking my now boyfriend. we've been sooooo happy since and there's no looking back for us. we have everything planned out. i mean he's the one helping me to get my license and everything. and we both agreeded that after i graduate high school i'm taking a year off so me and him can settle down and hopefully get married=]. he was sooo nervous to date me. but after about 3 months all those thoughts went out of his head and he hasnt thought them since. cuz he knows nothing is gunna stop him from loving me

Answer 5

I don't see a problem with it. He acts older and it's not like he's a child or anything. As long as you hold off on s*x, you're fine, I think. some people might find it weird, but it happens, whatever.

Answer 6

What, pray tell, does s*x have to do with getting to know someone?  (Wait, don't answer that . . . )

There is absolutely nothing wrong with getting to know this guy and enjoying his company.  If he's as mature as he seems, he'd probably be fun to hang out with.  As you know, though -- hands off!  

Answer 7

There is nothing wrong with it, just use caution. He might be more mature for his age, but he is still a hormonal teenager. Along the same lines, guys his age can be more sensitive and he could wind up crushed if it doesn't work out. Be crystal clear about your intentions. All I would suggest is to take it slowly. Right now you need to be looking toward your future and setting adult goals for yourself.

Answer 8

What does the age difference count? If you like each other and you stay away from s*x there's no problem!

Answer 9

Give it a chance. You will never know unless you give this guy a chance. You will always wonder unless you go for it. Don't let it bother you.  

Answer 10

Age is nothing but a number.

Make sure you don't get arrested.  Otherwise, f-k the naysayers.

Answer 11

You are already in college and hes only in high school, its not a very good idea for you guys to have a serious relationship. You can still hang out with him, but you are already getting your life together while hes still in chemistry class. A long term relationship with this guy is a very bad idea. Age difference usually doesnt matter, but right now you guys are centuries apart in where you are in life.

I am a senior in high school and I have been hanging out with a college freshman. However, I am getting my life together and I will be in college soon so the difference is not as large.

Dont start a relationship with this 15 year old, its a mistake and you can most probably find better guys that are your own age.

Answer 12

There is "Legal Wrong" and "Hurtful Wrong".

This will end up being both...

Honey... Your lives are too different to be compatible... He is in the "Real World" where he needs to be Adult and pay bills and keep a job while you are still in your High School world where the worst thing that can happen to you is that your parents lower your curfew to 9:00pm.

It isn't fair to either of you to hook up...

Since you already mentioned that you are totally aware that the s*x would be MARJORY illegal... And that it doesn't matter if you consented or not... he WILL go to prison and be a registered s*x offender for the REST OF HIS LIFE if you are caught... I won't give you a lecture on that...

But just considering what the two of you have in common... You are both at MARJORY DIFFERENT STAGES IN LIFE!

Emotionally, mentally, financially, and responsibility... You are not compatible...

Either he will hold himself back to meet your needs or you will be forced to grow up too fast to try and meet his…

It will end bad and as one of your first ‘loves’, this will set up how you feel about relationships for the rest of your life…

Don’t let infatuation for an older man ruin how you feel about love for the rest of your life… Please… For your own good… (And his if you get caught having sex… Prison and being a registered child molester is NOT a good way to end a relationship.)

Answer 13

I don't think it's wrong. As long as he is mature and responsible then I'd say go for it!

Unless, you feel like you want to wait a little bit.

Make sure his parents don't mind though.

Good luck with this & college!

Answer 14

No.  If you like him, it's perfectly fine.
