Hey everyone,

I've just started dating this guy that I feel like I've known my whole life I think I'm really falling for him!

The problem is he's 18 and I'm only 13. Is it wrong?

Thats love. It couldn be measured in anything. If u ask me to describe love in one word,it would be 'life'. ' Cause no love,no life ' i mean it

Ye I guessed some might think its too big a gap for teens. My mum does'nt no she just thinks I fancie him I hate her tho and dont care what she thinks shes always thought little of me why would me being happy for ones change that? When he first met me he thought I was 15 everyone thinks that and he no's that Im waiting till I meet the rite guy even if its him that we would'nt have sex till Im 18. He looks about 15, and he respects my wishes. I think the reson he likes me that you cant see is that age is just numbers and we both no that. I wake up thinking a whole day of studying gcse's but when I get back . . . I get to see him! :)

yum yum agony auntIn retrospective thinking I believe that it is wrong for you two to be dating because of the age gap. Sorry.

I agree. This is not a good idea. A friend of mine who is 24 got emotionally attached to a minor and she is about to face potential legal charges from the parents. Even though her relationship with him was entirely innocent. Just don't do this.

Not in every situation, but in yours, yes it is.

If I was the 18 year old guy, I would not risk dating a 13 years old girl. Not becuase 13 years old are not pretty, smart and mature. But becuase 18 years old should be more mature and there is the laws. Even if all do not have sex, it can still lead into trouble.

natethegreat141990 agony auntHe is an adult and she is just a young teenager, that is child molestation and is wrong in my own opinion but everybody is entitled to their own and it dont matter what we say they will do as they please and im 18.

yum yum agony auntIn my opinion it can be good for your experience but however I would consider it borderline pedophilia. He is

18, the gap here is just a bit too much. If you were 15 it would be ok in my opinion but not any younger. However if he does not do anything inappropraite to you then I don't see the harm in it. It is important that you tell your parents about you dating him and they should get to know him.

A female reader, anonymous, writes (3 November 2008):

I really cannot believe people are saying it's alright for them to date as long as they don't have sex. Does anyone here remember being 18? There is such a big age diffrence between the two. In teenage years, five years is HUGE. I really question this guy motives to dating a girl that young, most 18yr olds wouldn't be seen dead seeing a person that young! You two are on such diffrent levels in life. I really don't see how this is right, he may even be attracted to children in a way, I don't see why he should be excused just because he's 18.

A reader, anonymous, writes (3 November 2008):

If he wants to date you, then ask him to ask your parents first. If they agree that it's ok for a 13year old to date an 18year old then there is nothing wrong.

The problem is that your age, 18year olds want sex, and it is illegal with you because you are underage. Most 18year olds dating 13year olds, don't love them, and do not care about them, they only date them because they know young girls are stupid and will have sex, and won't tell anyone. Wait until you are 18 and he is 23years old, if he loves you know, he love you then and he'll be able to wait.

When you say 13 and 18, it does seem like a large age gap, but I have a friend that's 15 and going out with a 20 year old and again that's 5 years but doesn't seem as big. They're extremely happy together and i think in the end it comes down to how you feel about him, if you like him as much as you say you do, then this age gap shouldn't matter.
