there is no problem dating a guy who is abit older then you, however if things were to get sexual then thats not good, as you are classed as a minor and he could go to prison for that. but if you just want to be friends or date and have nothing too serious then there is not a real problem. but when he gets to 18 he will start going out with his friends and may find girls his own age that he has more in common with, after all being 14 and 17 can have a vast difference in interests and maturity. so just don't rush into anything

 You know what, who can realy say? We don't know the boy, we don't know you. All we know is how 'kids' are these days, particularly boys. Or should I say, How they've always been? You could be into an extremely honest, sweet, caring boy from a realy good family. Or he could be like most teenage boys and just want to get into your pants and be telling you whatever you want to hear to get there. Girl, you have to find out on your own. My only question is: Wheres your parents? Maybe you dont feel comfortable talking to them about this, and anyone whose ever been a teenager would understand. But girl, dont buy the bullcrap guys will tell you. Guys that age are thirsty and want one thing, that doesnt mean they are "bad" guys, they are just young guys and thats how they've always been. Youre too young for dating in my opinion tho, sorry.

reader, anonymous, writes (1 November 2008): Personally, I do think you are too young to date an older boy. But hold on a minute..maybe you are jumping the gun here a wee bit. He gave you his email to stay in contact, and just by doing that--doesn't mean you will be 'dating' him. Have you found out if he's dating another girl? Maybe he just wants to be friends with you? Which is a great idea. Why don't you just be his friend for now and take some time to get to know him. But you need to understand something, if you were to date him...he'd have to be very careful about getting too serious-too quickly, with you. Dating relationships can get into the realm of sexuality pretty fast with teenagers..and you are not the age of consent. I am in no way, implying that you both will have sex, but many teens state it won't happen and it does. You need to consider how that aspect could affect him if you were to date him and the relationship moved into that realm. Just be aware of that...and I am sure you have considered that. Keep a good head on your shoulders and think, before you leap. Good luck, dear
