A female United Kingdom age 26-29, anonymous writes:

So I'm in my teens and me and this 27 year old guy have been texting recently and I knew really believed in love but I think I love him?

He is the only person who can make me smile and I can't wait to work when I know he is on the same shift we have been flirting quite a bit, is this ok? Or am I too young to be interested in him?

What I was about to say has been said: 18+ means you're not too young, but you don't love him and you should be careful so you don't automatically fall for whatever he tells you.

I agree you're a young adult n definitely not too young to fall in love... But you're not in love, you're still getting to know each other, and don't know enough to know if you love him or not... It's the excitement of any crush, that we get that warm, fluttery feeling when we know we're gunna see that person... It's very early days and you don't want to take flirting and texting too seriously- not like you can REALLY get to know someone at work.

Observe if he acts like this around other girls- he may just be a charmer or flirt. Don't be TOO forward because-

1. If he's truly interested in you he will eventually ask you out, and make a REAL effort to get to know you... Have you had any serious conversations with him?

2. Things can get very awkward n mess your job up if you get too involved. Focus on other things and keep your options open.

If it turns out he blows hot n cold with you, or doesn't make extra effort, it's not a reflection on you- he could well be a bit of a lad/ player and like the buzz of flirting with a younger girl... He may not want anything serious.

Good luck x :)

So_Very_Confused agony auntif you are over 18 then you are not too young.

the bigger issue is you really don't want to get involved with someone you work with... the breakups are always MORE difficult than if you don't have to see each other every day at work.

you don't love him btw... you have an attraction to him...

in addition if you don't have experience and he does he may "groom you" to be his play toy.

TREAD carefully.
