Honestly I cannoyt say that it is a problm. I t all depends on if you know who you are or not, are you stable enough mature enough tough enough,Because older men are no joke they got alotta shit with them and if you are not emotionally ready for it then they will eat you up and spit you out.You are not to young for your 22 year old friend but let him know syraight up like look I'm not for the games and I dont need the dumb shit in my life. Let him know that you're not looking for games you're looking for whats real. But mostly and more importantly sit yourself down and ste yourself some personal boundaries dont let yourself fall in too deep because he may not always be falling with you and then you'll find yourself heart broken. Dont let him know the exact dephts of your feelings right away ,they tend to take advantage an get big headed.They feel like they got you where they want yo uand after that they usually dont need you anymore because you showed them that your weak. Show your 22 year old that you are not weak, Show him that yuo are different and very much worth the risk,but never ever settle for less and if you ever feel like you like or love him more than he likes or loves you Dont settle for that TRUST ME Self Evaluate and ask yourself Am I im Love Or am I I nfatuated with this man Love Obsession it is out there and it feels similar to love but it's deeper than love it's life or death it's the kind of thing that can ruin your life and leave the other person unharmed .So dont let yourself get a lover obsession as it is very easy when dealing wit older men. Good Lucjk And Have Fun With Your Older Man.

girl, yeah that is a huge age difference and that is illegal and he could go to jail because in the united staes that is called rape even if he didntt touch you and tell your parents i dont think so they would probably kill him themselves.

Jadzia1127 agony aunt At age 15 almost 16, even a mature 15 you have not even had the taste of freedom of driving your own car you bought with the money from your first job. At 15/16 you're still in school and still under the power of your parents. At 16 you should be looking to pad your college resume. Your dreams should be of owning that first car, going to the high school prom with your big crush, being the star in your school play, making a place for yourself in your school, and getting into the right college.

At 22, you will have youth, freedom, power, and the right to drink. At 22 you are done or at least can see the end of school. At 22 you're laying the plans for your future career and padding your resume. At 22 you dream of an easy lay (or at least a little physical fun) with no strings, night clubs that go into the morning, paid vacations, open bars, and friends that won't judge or tell when you do it all.

Sorry to say but you two are on two totally different ball fields. If you try to play his game you will lose. When you are 21 (almost 22) and he is 30 then consider looking him up for he will be the easy lay.

If you still aren't convinced do you really think he will take you to your junior prom? Don't give up your youth for the alluring stench of age.
