I meet a guy a month ago..who's 24 i dont think he realised how old i was ( 17) when he came over started talking to me and asked for my number, i wasnt sure of his age either.

A few weeks ago he added me on facebook and he saw how old i was as did i....bit since then he's really been pushing to meet...i've already expressed that i don't know if the age gap is right..but he said once we meet and have a few drinks i will forget about the age difference.....

Im not sure what to think or do because im not 100% sure about it.

what do you think? any views would be great!

Thankyou x

jm81690 agony auntSome people might take shots at you about the age gap, but who cares right?

On the other hand, I think he just plans on getting you drunk and hooking up with you, most guys that want a relationship wouldn't be so obvious.

bubbloo24 agony auntHeya hun, to me, he seems a bit too enthusiastic to meet you... if you really want to meet him, meet him in a public place.

I'm 16 and my boyfriend is 27. The age gap is no problem between us. It shouldn't be a problem for you unless you make it a problem.

I'd say if you like him, go for it, meet him in a public place. But it seems to me that he's pressurising you and you don't like that. If you're not 100% sure about meeting him then don't. Trust your instincts. I think you should tell him that you don't feel comfortable meeting him at this point in time. Over the next few months if things change then maybe.

But right now, you don't feel right meeting him.

If he goes off on one coz you don't want to - it'll show that he's not decent and doesn't care about you as much as it would seem. If he sticks around - well, wait and see.

If he causes you problems and keeps pressuring you into these kind of things, don't speak to him again because it could all end badly if he gets obsessive or something.

Take care hun. Mail me if ya wanna talk over this, or anything really :)
