Question

Help answer this question below.

I'm in eighth grade. Is a high school guy too old for me? [Notice, this is one that would NEVER pressure me for anything, and honestly doesn't care that I'm younger because he sees me as a person he loves, not an age]

    Love is a word that shouldn't yet be in your vocabulary talking about your own relationships. Friends yes, but love, no. You have to know yourself before you can know love, and sorry, there are no shortcuts. So be friends and enjoy each other's company.

    There could be a difference between what he SAYS and what he DOES...ever heard of persuasive speaking?

    The choice is really what you are comfortable with, and the maturity of the relationship you are both viewing it as. Personally, if I had a daughter in 8th grade, that would be too young to date exclusively like that. But ultimately it is your decision. But please, do decide if it is best for YOU.

    Same situation here:
    no I don't think it's wrong. I'm going out with one I met on a cruise right now. He's very understanding and he always gives me control..he's actually less controling then my former 8th grade boyfriend. I say do what you want, just be safe :]

    The age difference could complicate the arrangement in ways you can't imagine.

    Proceed with caution.

    If you believe he admires you more than your vulnerability as a young girl, you don;t know enough about guys yet!

    Yes, I really do think so. When you're a teenager, each year you are older is like a dog year, LOL (1 human year is supposed to be about 7 dog years). It's so flattering to know that this older boy likes you, but I think that you will feel more comfortable and have far more in common with someone your own age. Probably there will be less sexual tension, too.

    What are the exact ages?

    If it's 14 and 16 then i really don't think that is a problem at all, just as long he would not pressure you, and you feel comfortable with him, then that would be ok.

    You just have to ask yourself (and i'm not saying that this is always the case, girls do mature faster than boys but..) what is attracting him to someone 2 years younger than him, is he immature?

    Also, i partly feel, if you need to be asking this question, maybe you're not that sure you want to be with him anyway?

    If you're in 8th grade, then I say no one above 9th grade. At all. I really don't think people should date before high school anyway, because I think it's stupid. But if you do anyway, no more than a grade ahead of you at this time I'd say.

    In my opinion, I don't think he's too old (What grade is he in exactly?)
    I had a friend who was in grade 8 and had a boyfriend who was in gr 10 (she's now in grade 10 and he's in grade 12... he's my brother! AHH! lol, anywho)
    I think you should also take into consideration what your parents think. Are they okay with your relationship with this guy or do they want you to wait?

    IF you are 14 and 16.
    IF he is not 'grooming you' for sex later (many guys are taking it slow and going for virgins now to avoid diseases.
    IF the parents are aware, and approve;

    Then- no problem.

    Ignore those other answers. I think that it's cool to date someone from high school when you're in 8th grade. I mean hello??? you're graduating this year right? So why not. I had a few boyfriends in high school this year and I'm also in 8th grade so go for it.
    I hope everything works out for you!!!! :)

    Love,
    Rachel:)XOXOX
