Dr. John agony auntThere is nothing wrong with an age difference of 15.

That is of course unless you consider your age at this point in time.

You may be looking for a father figure instead of a boyfriend.

I know a couple who are very happily married and have been for a few years. When they married she was in her early twenties and he in his mid forties.

The point is, make sure you are mentally mature enough to make a decision of that calibur on your own.

And be honest with yourself.

You may even want to talk to a trusted friend or even a parent who will give you an objective viewpoint. Doc

You take a step back and realise that this is not s good situation.

You cannot act on these feelings. You're not in "love" with this person, you probably just have some feelings for this person, which is understandable as you're young after all.

The risk of you getting hurt is far too great here.

Step a mile back and forget about this person.

hiyahh, its always more difficult this way. It depends on the circumstances your still young at the moment and i know its annoyin when people say its a phase but this might just be the case. emotions are everywhere and ya get feelings for different people it just happens you cant controll it. just dont act yet give it time you dont say if you know this guy well or what he is to you eg teacher mate etc but think it through first if he knows your vunerable at your age then chances are he might take advantage (again depening on circumstances) so give it time things will change- i dont know your situattion well enough to comment so dont think this has helpped but best of luck

hi,

mostly everybody get's a crush on somebody way older than them but the question is are you in LOVE with this person?

15 years is kind of a big age gap

if i was you i would try and find somebody closer to your age coz someone will come along the right person for you if you do end up with this person i wish you all the best.
