A female United Kingdom age 26-29, anonymous writes:

Basically me and my best friend are very very close and we spend a lot of time with eachother and eachother's familes and friends. For about a year or so now i have known this guy who lives next door to her, we get on really really well and from day one he has always been very flirty with me and very forward about the way he feels about me. This sounds all good and well but unfortuently for me I am 17 at the end of this month and he is 16 in september, which i know is not that much of an age gap but at this age it comes off as more? Anyways for the first few months he was forward towards me i just kinda brushed it off and was just nice to him because i did not really think of it as much because he was younger and probably just hormonal etc. Then i did not talk to him or really see him for a while because yano life just got in the way, but last weekend my best friend had a get together at her house and a campout sort of thing, it was the first time i had seen him in ages and when i did i was actually really shocked coz he looked so much older then the last time i seen him and sounded older acted older. He was still very flirty though and spent most of the night talking to me, asking who i was intrested in, claiming he was waiting for the right girl when i asked about him. Since last weekend i have felt towards him more then i ever thought i would, i feel stupid and it can never happen at this age because it will just come across as wierd? It is more because we are both still at school well he is gonna be in yr11 and me in 6th form but i know for definate it would be seen as a bit wierd? Now i cant seem to get him out of my head and as stupid as all this sounds i still feel held back by the age difference. Hopefully in the future something could happen for us but i am just really confused and frustrated about what to do about how i am feeling. xxx

josephy agony auntIt's not the age that defines people or the way we usually expect them to behave. Some people act their age, some act like if they were older/ younger. Take him as he is. Age defines what life experience a person can have. Personality and ones mind define us. If you like him then go for it. Btw, remind me

Xx-Scorpio-xX agony auntIf you like him then you should just be with him~ this is only a tiny age gap so it shouldn't be a problem. One of my friends has a boyfriend who is a year younger (she is 18 whilst he is 17)and they have been going out for nearly a year now, so there is no reason why it wouldn't work :)
