Definatley. I am dating a senior and i am a freshman. I am more mature than most freshmen (thank god) but if you have feeling for him there is nothing wrong with it. My bf and i really connected and it didnt matter the age differance because we were attracred to each other. Hope this helped

The Realist agony auntA two year age difference is really small. What matters is how he acts because if he can fit in then chances are no one will ever even question his age. I know it does seem like a big deal when you both are in school but once one of you is out no one really cares and will make a big deal about it. You may get some comments now but what matters is if you like him.

PurityChild agony auntI ask this questions because im 16 and he is 14 and basically he is a young guy, and if we do end up being together for a long time them when im 18 he will be only 16 which I find kinda on creeper status...what do you guys think about a two year age difference???

The Realist agony auntTo my knowledge isn't that only a year apart? That age is so close, if you like him than you should date him and your friends can judge him for who he is not how old he is. I'm sure he is a great guy and that is why you like him, thats all that should matter. Plus if you two are still together out of high school you will see that those silly age gaps mean nothing in the real world. Don't be afraid to find the right guy for you even if it means your friends may have to adjust their behaviour a bit.

I don't think it really matters as long as you both like/love each other. I'm a freshman and my boyfriend's a junior and we're in love and have been together for 2 years so I see no problem with it what so ever.

Ummm ok i live in australia so we don't have the whole "freshman" stuff, so i don't really know what age gap you are talking about.

But i'll give you my opinion anyway, just for the fun of it lol :)

what comes down to it really, that you find him cute possibly attractive, you like his personality, and really isnt all that really matters here?

age is just a number, and i think its prob only a few years really, which is rather insignifficant,

its up to you really

but i think the idea of not "pursueing" this because ohhh he is that age and i'm not kinda stupid, because you are going to skip out on something that could be possibly good just because of a little number

take care :)

VJay agony auntI guess there's nothing wrong in dating a freshman. I mean if you really like him, I dont think you should pay attention to whether he's a freshman or not and your friends said no to freshmans, but you're the one who wants to date him, right. Not them. You don't have to listen to what they're saying eventhough they're your friends.

You like him alot, so..Why dont you go for it?

Yes it's okay, I'm a sophomore and my boyfriend is a freshmen. There is nothing wrong with it. Just be prepared because freshmen are not as mature as sophomores USUALLY, but not all the time.

I don't see why that should matter at all. I would say go for it because as long as you to are happy together, that is all that should matter. I don't see anything wrong with it. Hope that this helped.
