I am a 13 year old girl my self I don't think its wrong coz its nature 2 fall in love if he don't wanna hav sex with her then dats fine if only she is fine her self and I have 2 say a 13 year old girl is more mature than a 16 year old boy a 13 year old girl is mature in many differnt ways and is 3 to 4 years mature so think about it she is around the same matureaty level there for that's y I think its not wrong xx(dw ur no sick) go ahead and ask her u neva no

i dont think its wrong, i know it can be hard as people will say stuff that might make you feel like the realationship isnt worth it with the age difference. im 13 now and my boyfriend is 15 we have been dating for 4 months now and it is working out perfectly, the thing is i was 12 when we started dating so it made everything look wrong. my boyfriend will be 16 in not long and im not worrying about it.

A female reader, anonymous, writes (11 July 2010):

I think that liking someone who is junger or older than you is normal. I am 13 and I think it's even more interesting if you can be with someone who is somehow diferent from you. Sometimes people come to your life for you to learn something from them. If you are in love then you are in love, there is nothing that can change that, love is not about age or how someone looks, it's about being in love.

I think it's fine, but since she's younger and she's the girl, you should let her call the shots and you should absolutely wait to have sex. I myself think you should wait til marrage, but at least wait until she's 17, if you last that long. Best of Luck!

Hey, I am 16 and I like a thirteen year old as well, we got to know each other and we have been hinting back and forth. I personally do not think it matters much because I think of further on in life like 20 dating 23 which is not that big of a gap. I would wait one or two years if you can(if she asks discuss this with her for I bet the age gap crossed her mind as well)for 13 is the age the majority kicks off in a big way. This way she learns about everything without an outside source influencing maybe indirectly pushing what she should know or how she develops.

I really feel your anxiety here.

You see im also in the predicament your in.

Im 16 and started hanging around with a really cool and sweet 13 year old, after a few months of getting to know her i really began to like her and wanted to be more than friends.

However when i was with her and her friends i suddenly realised that ther was a lack of maturity.

Its not the age thats the problem ( its ok to like someone who is 13) its the gap in maturity.

If you continue to hang around with this girl for a few years and wait until she is more mature , then go for it !

Hope this helped :)

well i dont find anything wrong with this because i am only 13 and i talk to a guy who is 16 and he is about to turn 17 but i have strong feelings for him and he also does for me so i guess it depends on how much you two like each other

hi, its not wrong to like her but dont expect anything from her other than being your friend she is a bit young, and you probably want different things, wait until your a bit older before you do anything that you may regret just stay friends for now and then ask her out when your sure you like her and its going somewhere

Hi, i'm fourteen and i really like an eieghteen year old. Its not wrong for you to like her and ask her out. She proberly likes you to. Don't have sex with her even if she says yes i don't mind because if the guy i liked asked me out and then after a few mouths asked me to have sex i might say yes because of the fact i might loss him. Don't take advartage of her, when she's sixteen then have sex for now kiss and hug. Its more fun that way. Also it gives you something to look forward too.

Ask her out and ignore what hello1 said shes proberly jeslous as no one likes her trying to deni you love.

Good luck also sorry if spelling is wrong!!!.

Love your never know!!!.

if you like her for who she is and just want to go out with her and don't want sex then i don't see anything wrong in that.i am 13 and like someone who is 15. I asked my friends if they thought i was to young to like someone of that age, some of them said yes and some of them said no.(i'm still trying to figure that out) i hope that this helped you!

smexii1313 agony auntim 13 and my ex is 17 and we broke up a month ago we wre going out for 2 and a half months.But he got scared cause of the age.But what i dont get is that he loves me.and i love him and i hope things work out for you guys.cause you shouldnt care what other people think if you care about her and you will treat her right then go for it.dont let anyone stand in the way of your feelings.youll regret it if you do.but just remember that shes only 13 and you need to take things slow with her.you have to be patient if your not then its not going to work out cause shes oing to get scared trust me i know ive been through it twice.but my point is is that its not the greatest news for a 16 year old to be like or me in love with a 13 year old but you also cant help who you fall in love with you cant choose you just do......i hope this advice has helped you...

LethalInjection-x agony auntPerfectly fine, and to the person who implied it would only be slightly ok if you were very immature, boys mature slower so a 15/16 year old boy could and would have similar interests/thoughts to a 13/14 year old girl.

You said you don't want sex with her, so go for it. I wish you luck hun, ignore anyone who tries to imply it's a bad thing.

Dawnie agony auntIt's ok to go out with this girl, but remember she is underage. You may not want sex at the moment, but that could change as you are maturing now. Respect her, and wait until she is 16 before having sex.

No it isnt wrong, but dont have sex until she is 16 or you are in deep trouble. Just be kids and do kids stuff and dont try to rush into adult stuff, that will come soon enough.

take care

hello1 agony auntYes it's wrong and maybe you should get help. Why would you want an 13yr old? there's alot of diffrences between you two, in teenage years a few years is alot. Your maturity levels are at diffrent stages, unless your really immature for your age.
