There's nothing wrong with your feelings, but you will make a real mess if you try to actually get with him or something.

And he could go to jail for it. No decent guy messes with a 12yo girl when he's 18. It happens sometimes but that doesn't make it right.

I would tell him how you feel. If he likes you, he will say so. I have been dating a 20 year old for over a year and I am 14 so I hear where your coming from. Good luck, I know making the first move can be difficult.

Lauraaa :) agony auntI know how it feels. When I was you're age I had a crush on a 27 year old. But seriously it'll pass.

Besides, he's an adult and you're still a child. You're Jail Bait for him. And in his eyes you're still a little girl, so unless he's sick and twisted then he's not going to be interested.

Hope you get over him soon!

hlskitten agony auntHi

Well ive just asked my nearly 13 yr old son about this qestion, and he said he fancies Ashley Tisdale or whoever it is off the tv, and shes 22! But like i said to him, you dont love her though do you! He said, er no!

I would be gobsmacked if he was infatuated with someone of 18. As well as worrie! Please let it go. Unless he is a paedo, he wouldnt be interested sweetie. And if he was, thats mighty dangerous!

Although thinking back, at 12 i did 'date' a 16 yr old. But it was very short lived and we didnt 'do anything' i think he was an immature 16 yr old. But i remember my mum was horrified!

Please be careful.

C xxxxxx

As a person who was in a relationship with a similar (but not quite as large) age gap, I understand your pain in this situation. Since you are 12, I am guessing you have never (or have been in few) relationships. You need to understand that someone who is 18 is most likely looking for a relationship with someone who can give them all the things (mentally and physically) that they want from a relationship. At 12, you're most likely not ready to give them everything that they need. The best thing you could do right now is become friends with this person, but do not make your lust toward them known. Be their friend and ride it out for a few years. Yes, it will be hard to see them date other people, but by being their friend, your eventual relationship with them will be that much stronger and you will be getting a much more mature person out of it.

Also, invest some time looking up statutory rape laws. You might thing your ready, but the law may not. While it may seem like a good idea or easy to hide what is going on from parents/the law, all it takes it one time to be caught by the wrong person and then your sweetie will be gone.

Good luck and I hope this helps!
