A age 26-29, anonymous writes:

i am 18 and i am in a short term relationship with another 18 year old but it isn't serious i don't even have feelings for this guy i am with i know that sounds so awful but i don't.

My reasons for dating this guy is... i have feeling for this older guy who is like 7 years older than i am he is 25.

i see him all the time around college and around our Neighborhood and i really have strong feelings for him and this is just a test to see if he has feelings for me.

Question is

should i just tell this guy how i feel ?

is it wrong to be with a guy who is 7 years older than i am ?

will the age gap matter?

i am interested in the same stuff he is (eg. music bands books tv films etc.)

Will society think this relation ship is wrong?

daniellekate agony auntBreak up with the guy you're dating now. What you're doing is insensitive. I mean, does he like you? If so, you're leading him on. If not, he may do soon.

The age gap isn't the matter. It's the fact that he's a teacher at your college. I'm in college too, and I fancy loads of teachers, but it's just a bit no-no. You can't go there. At least not yet... If you still have strong feelings for this teacher when you've left college, then go for it?

Hope I've been a help to you! Good luck :)

He's a teacher, which makes it a no-no. He cannot under any circumstances date a student while he's still working at your college. Simple as that. He will lose his job over it and his reputation will be ruined forever. He's aware of that and he will probably not care whether you're dating someone else--if any he'll be relieved because he won't have to deal with your crush on him.

Please leave him alone until either one of you leaves this college. You can always tell him after you finished your studies. Do not tell him now because even if he did like you in that way--and I highly doubt he does-- he cannot act on it and you would only cause him trouble. Society doesn't approve of this, nor will your classmates, friends or family. In short, don't go there.

And let the poor guy you're stringing along go, it's unfair that he has to suffer because you want someone you can't get.

I know what it's like to fall for a teacher at your age, but I was responsible enough not to act on it.

StarryEyes101 agony auntIt's not wrong. You are 18.

First off. Dump the guy you are dating now. It's wrong to lead him on.

Just go for it. Tell him you like him but if he doesn't like you it doesn't matter. You have nothing to lose. It hurts keeping it to yourself. So tell him.

Hope this helps
