Right. I am 15 and dating a 13 yr old and we have been going out for a while and that. I really like her and she realy likes me but there are a few wee daft guys at the same age of her doing my head in, saying I'm too old, although the people the same age as me for instance are agreeing towards it and so does her parents. What is your opinions on our relationship?

I'm sorry that you're having peer pressure from your gf's mates, but does it really matter what they think, you're both young and in a couple of years probably won't like each other anymore. However, as long as you are being sensible and avoiding any unwanted complications that involves the law why does it matter what others say. It's only 2 years difference, there are people in the world that marry 2 decades apart in age. It's your and her choice and remember that you're more mature than 13 year old boys, which is probably why she's dating you in the first place and not them.

honestly in my opinion, its really up to you, i wouldnt suggest breaking up thinking you can go out later, seriously, that would screw with yours and her emotions like crazy, at present im 18 almost 19, going out with someone who just turned 15, weve been together for almost a year now, but we both know, as do all of the people around us that we are being responsible in our relationship. as long as you are being responsible, theres nothing anyone can hold against you for it. as other people have said, dont make it about sex, so not worth the hassle that would come into it. i think as long as both of you can honestly say its not wrong or bad, then what anyone else says really doesnt matter.

Having the age difference is going to be hard. I went out with a guy who was 14 and I was 16 nearly at 6th form. People will judge you and say things but really it's up to you. You like her? You care for her? She makes you happy?Then go for it, surely how you feel about her will help you beat the comments. My advice is DON'T worry about other's, just help eachother. Eventually people will stop saying things when they realise you are both serious about eachother! Hope it helps you!

I dont think relationships with an age difference are ever simple and I dont think anyone can decide what is right for you but you. Be careful and if u do decide to continue in a relationship with this girl be aware of the possible legal problems that could arise. However I think the most important question u should ask yourself is how YOU feel about her not what others think. If you like her and you feel that the age difference is not an issue then I dont think you should let other people pressure you into a decision that will hurt both of you. But if you feel that the difference is too much and you dont feel comfortable getting into this relationship then dont and maybe wait a few years and see how you feel about each other when the age difference isn't so significant.

lildeesbg agony auntHonestly, it is only two years difference. Does she act very immature? Probably not since your still with her. Tell the guys that are bothering you to get a hobby. Be stern WITHOUT fighting. If you really like her and she likes you than be happy and comfortable with that. Your still young yourself, you need to know that people are going to have comments through out your life and not all the comments are nice. Dont listen to what everyone has to say, only listen to the people who matter most to you.

As for her parents, the reason why they arent thrilled about you and her is because of one thing "S.E.X" They are nervous that you might pursuade their daughter into things that she is not ready for. Which honestly she is NOT. Therefore, prove them wrong. Let your girlfriend and her parents know that this relationship isnt about that.

However, if you do want to be sexual, which I think you too are still young for that then she is not for you. Sex is something more then you can understand right now. I know it sounds cool, but it deals with alot of emotion and possible consquences, like pregnancy and STD's. Just wait, you have all the time in the world to fool around with girls.

The age difference is not going to seem like much at 15, but it would if you were 13. Why don't you find someone your own age to date. Right now, you could get into a lot of legal trouble if she, or her parents even accused you of doing anything sexual with her. Use the brains the Good Lord gave you, and stay away from the Wee kids, including your 13 yr old gf. When she is 21 and your are 23, then date her! The age difference won't mean much to either of you then.
