as anonymous NF said there is no age for love. i say there is no age for relationships either.

PeanutButter agony auntI don't think the problem you'll have here is the amount of years between you because 7 isn't all that many really - there were 15 years between my mum and my dad!

I think the problem is going to be that you're only 16 and he's 23. He might be hesitant to pursue a relationship with you because you are, in most states, considered a minor and he could get into some serious trouble for having a relationship with you.

If you're in a state where you are of a legal sexual age (even if you're not thinking about sex, just a relationship) then there is absolutely no reason why you can't have a relationship with this guy, but be aware that in the next few years you're likely to change a lot as you experience life and its lessons and this could either make or break you're relationship with him.

There's no harm in flirting with him, taking it slow and playing it out, see where it goes gradually and enjoy the feelings you're having right now.

Good luck

Anonymous_NF agony auntGirl, I'm 18 and I'm going out with a guy 9 years older then me and I'm very happy with him. At first everybody told me that I'm crazy and that I'm stupid bla bla bla.... Don't make the same mistake as I did, don't listen at what the people say around you. If you like him I strongly advise you to go for it. There is nothing wrong with the age differents. Follow you heart, not other peoples words. You have nothing to lose :)

There is no age for love, remember that!

I wish you all the best :)
