A female United States age 30-35, *ell7998 writes:

hi, im 16 and i joined the police explorers group about a year ago. In like November of 2007, i noticed was growing more and more attracted to the police officer in charge of our group. I had knee surgery that spring, and he saw a picture of my knee and said "o, your leg does not look as sexy there." Then we were out in this shed looking for a gun, and I was telling him about how this sub from my school asked me out on a date. He responded "I wonder what would happen if I were not a cop." A few days later we were eating pizza and I asked who didn't eat their crust, i explained it was the best part of a pizza. He looked over at me and said "your the best part." He is always winking at me, and smiling. I got in a car accident and he was the cop who responded, and when he got there he asked why I was wearing jeans and not shorts. He also said in a year I would be legal, and he was 9 years older then me. He also asked what I would say if he called me cute. I have no idea what to do, I am in love with this man. I cant ever get him out of my mind, and I have no idea what to say or do? When he found out I had a crush on him, he avoided me, and never called me or texted me. My friends all laugh when I talk about it, and I cant go to my parents. Should I tell him I love him, or should I leave him alone, even though I love him?

His wife can probably tell that there is a mutual attraction between the two of you.

PsyCookie agony auntKell, I know that what I will tell you, you might not like, but you came here for some advise and this is what I'll tell you:

Please stay away from this man. It will lead you to no good. You'll end up hurt and probably humiliated if you wait for this man to "leave his wife"...if that's what you're hoping for.

He is trying to get his cake and eat it to, so don' give him the pleasure. I know that you might feel that you are in love with this guy, but also you got to hit reality: This guy may not love you and he's just probably wanting to have some fun. What would a guy his age want with a 16 year old? You're practically a child.

So what you should do is that when he tries to flirt with you, resist him and don't pay attention to him. He likes the attention, and getting it from a pretty girl like you probably gives him a boost. If he persist after your disinterest, then just go upfront and tell him to stop; be stern.

He's playing with you and you're falling for his game. This guy doesn't sound so good (It seems he wants to go around the block behind his wife), so please don't get involved, it will not lead to anything good.

Please think over what I said, and make a decision.

I agree, I can't see anywhere in your posting, where it mentions this guy is married. Perhaps you should confirm that for us. I will answer based on the assumption he isn't married. Here are my comments:

Leave him alone. This man you claim to love is playing an flirty dangerous game with you. And he's reeling you in. Please be careful because it appears you are falling for his game. What's happened here is: you are young teen girl, who has gotten a chance to try out her feminine sexuality on this older, more worldly adult male. For many females your age who do this--this is just a practise run. You like him because he shows a sexually, provocative interest in you and it makes you feel sexy, grownup and womanly. He likes you because you make him feel young, sexy and desired. He is hitting on you, waiting for something to happen. And you are much, much too young for him to be playing with. I find it hard to believe you are in love with him, dear. Love requires both people to actively date, talk, bond, connect for many months, with each other. I think you are intrigued, infatuated with the attention you get from him...that is all. And remember, most sensible, mature adult males don't date and have sex with adolescent females, unless they themselves have a screw loose. I have nothing against age gap relationships, as long as both people are legal adults. You are not. You do, indeed, have a big huge crush. Let it run it's course and date guys your own age.

nicole5178 agony auntIt's pretty obvious he liked flirting with you... maybe he didn't think it would ever progress into anything more. It seems like he was very put off by you having serious feelings for him. If he's a police officer, he knows it's wrong. I think it just became to real of a situation--that's not what he was looking for.

Give him two weeks space... don't talk to him about anything non-police-explorer-group related and avoid talking to him unless it's necessary. After two weeks, try acting as though things are going normally. Don't tell him that you love him until you are legal. Trust me, he won't want anything to do with you until then--the risk is too great, especially for a law enforcement official. Wait until you are of age, and then if you still feel the same way, you should definitely tell him. He might not be willing to risk his marriage, but if you never say anything, you'll always wonder....

Hope everything works out well with you! Best of luck.

x Nicole.

A female reader, PsyCookie United States +, writes (27 August 2008):

PsyCookie agony auntSo is this man married or is the title description wrong?

Well, if he's married, then he's out of the question, no matter how strong you feel about him. You should never be a homewrecker.

Well, in my opinion, his actions are pretty clear. He might have innocently flirted with you, but once he found out you liked him, he took the measures to hint to you that he doesn't want a relationship with you, so my guess that even if you decide to tell him, it will lead to nothing since he has just showed you he wants nothing from you.

So I guess is just keep this to yourself and try to get over him.

A female reader, anonymous, writes (27 August 2008):

Telling him is a bad idea, especially since he's married. Though you probably don't want to hear this, you should forget him and find someone closer to your own age. When you're this young, 9 years is a big difference. Only when you're in your 40s or so is it not such a big deal, but do you really want to wait til then?

Your title says he's married - but it isn't mentioned in your tale. If he is married - stay away.

However, if he's not, then if there's a chance it might work and you are sure he's not dodgy then go for it!
