sorry its really long..but this has been going on for about 3 years now.. so help me please!

hi i'm a 15 year old girl and I go to a christian school, my best friend is a guy and is 18 i've liked him basically for 3 years and we jut now came out about liking eachother, and he said that he has liked me for 2 1/2 years. Our relationship really hasent changed at all, we're not dating or anything, and I gave him a hint yesterday saying "I like/love you" in japanese, he got it and he told me the same thing in spanish. I was really happy! and after a while when we were talking on AIM together he wanted to know if he could ask me two questions..I said sure, and he asked if I liked him I told him yes. then he got alittle shy I guess and went quiet for a bit, and he asked if I would wait for him until we graduated since he'll get out of school this year while I still have 4 more years since i'm in 9th grade. I told him I would, and he said that i had no idea how happy that makes him. and that he'd wait a life time for me if he had to, becuase he never felt like this before. and I think he's serious and i'm serious, but i'm scared of what his mother and my mother will think if they find out, sicne his mother doesnt like me that much I dont think.

is it wrong for a 15 year old to like a 18 year old who likes her back?

can anyone help me? I really like him and he says he likes me, we haven't kissed or anything we just hugged once.

TELLULAH agony auntAh bless!!

I think it sounds really sweet.

As long as he still respects you, and you are both to wait I cant see any harm in you both staying friends. You will soon be 16 and maybe your parents will understand your feelings for each other are very strong.

Good luck

Honey, there is absolutely wrong with liking an 18 year old at fifteen. At seventeen I have friends who are going out with twenty-one year olds and their parents don't mind in the slightest, because the guys are nice and respect their daughters.

There is only a three year difference between you two, which isn't a lot considering that there are people out there who date people who are up to twenty years their senior. You two are good friends so you already have the trust and if he respects you and treats you right, then everything should be dandy :)

All I'm going to warn you about, though, is to wait until you are a little older before persuing a relationship with him. At eighteen we are prepared to go so much further and find it more exciting and pleasurable. We're older and more mature (well, most of us....) and we can deal with the emotional sides of things and cope with the consequences. At fifteen it would all come as a shock and you would not be mentally capable for some of it. Wait another year/year and a half before dating. It'll be worth it, trust me.

Plus, maybe you should keep your feelings on the low down from you parents until you two actually start dating. You'll know what way to handle it from then on.

Good luck!
