Hi, Im 15 years old and have recently fallen for a 25 yr old footballer. He appears to have feelings for me as well, i would like to get involved with this guy if he feels the same way about me, is the age gap to big? I turn 16 in 5 months and wouldn't have sex until i knew he was after me and not my body. Its more a 9 year age gap since he only turned 25 two days ago. I have known him for a few weeks. Please help!

Man it aint too big just make sure you dont have sex until you're at least 18 then youll kno if hes legit and it will give u time to kno if u really love him, im in the same situation ur in but im older. u dont choose your love, your love chooses you just listen to ur heart but remember under no circumstances have sex under age.

Well hon im 15 and ive been dating this guy for 2 years and 10 months now. um he loves me but hes older and i really dont care what anybody else says cause age is nothing but a number. if you REALLY like or love him then its meant to be, well same thing if he feels the same way about you. so have fun with it.

MB_88 agony auntI agree with the others, this age gap is too big, I'm 19 and have reservations about even getting with a 16/17 year old because of the age gap. You're much better off being with someone your own age - after all this 25 year old will be able to do things you won't e.g. go out drinking etc, so if I were you I'd stick with lads your own age!

skye agony auntI agree that the age gap is too big. I suspect this man is simply enjoying your attention towards him. I dont think a relationship would be on the cards though. Im sorry, but you could get hurt quite badly should you choose to persue the idea of a relationship with him.

Take care,

Skye

Skeez agony auntI personally think the age gap is too big for your age. Maybe if you were 25 and he was 35 then maybe yes.

But not now, no. Any 25 year old whos interested in a 15 year old is not normal. and he could be a pedo. You dont know, but its unlikely he has any feelings for you.

He may just be using you to get sex.

Dont fall into the trap love and stay away from him.

Your still a child. and hes an adult.

goodluck

kenny agony auntNormally i would say that 10 years is not that big age. However it is a massive gap if you are only 15 and he is 25. I also don't think its entirely normal for a 25 year old to be interested in a 15 year old. You say he appears to have feelings for you, but do you know this for sure?. He could get into alot of trouble for being involved with someone under the age of consent, and also i don't think his football team mates would see him in the same light either.

Jamer70 agony auntim afriad its is to big.

He is at a different stage of his life, settling down etc

Your just starting to become a grown up and proberly should be looking for someone closer to your own age.

Also if hes willing to date a 15 year old it shows something is wrong with him

Danielepew agony auntI'm afraid the age gap is too big. He is in a very different stage of life.

I think you should be careful in finding out whether he feels the same for you, too. You're the one at disadvantage here.

A female reader, anonymous, writes (17 August 2007):

Yes, it's way too big because you are so young. It is illegal as well for you to be together. I am sure he has enough good sense to stay away from a 15 year old, he doesn't want to go to jail. Wait until you are of legal age to try to begin anything if you must.
