If you still read this now I can answer this knowing exactly how you feel - in senior school which i think is same as high school - ages 11-16 i too had a chance to go out with a younger girl who was 3 years younger. I was 16 and she being 13. We had a mutual friend who told me she wanted to go out wit me n i wanted her but wouldnt because of what people would say although my closest friends wer all ok with it. Now im 22 and still regret not going out with her even now so I say dont bother what others think your true friends wont care about it and go out with her if you want. Lifes too short to be bothered bout othas thoughts and who knows if you regret it when it too late

I think you should do what you think you want. If you still feel this way in a week or two I think you should go out with her. You have nothin to lose!!

Bev Conolly agony auntHi there, TC,

You sound like a sensitive and kind young man, but might be building this up into much more than it needs to be. Although the age difference seems large to you now, in a few years, you'll look back at this situation and wonder what you were worrying about. (For example, in 2020, you'll be 30 and she'll be 27. See what I mean?)

Think of it this way: suppose that this girl was an especially keen student, and got promoted a few grades when she was in primary school. If she was still 13, but in the same year as you are, would you regard her age as an issue? You probably wouldn't, which means that you're really getting more concerned about "what people will think" than you are about getting the know a nice, kind-but-shy girl. "What will people think if I do (whatever)?" is an enormous waste of your time and energy and a trap you can avoid falling into; resolve to accept that you have good instincts about people generally and that you date whomever you want to. As long as what you have in mind is morally acceptable and legal(!), then hang what other people think. This is a great oppotunity to practice being your own man.

Having said all that, what you're contemplating is *dating* this girl, getting to know her better and having some fun together, not marrying her. Why not take things a small step at a time and spare yourself a lot of headaches? If you like her and the feeling is mutual, why not invite her to join you and some friends out one afternoon? See where it goes from there. That way, your friends can get acquainted with her at the same time (it also takes the pressure of both of you to be perfect company when you only barely know each other). One added benefit is that your friends will find out what you already feel about her: that she's kind and nice. Then her age won't matter. And if any of your friends have the gall to comment about her age while she's there with you, that tells you a great deal about how much growing up your friends have to do!

One last thing: don't feel you have to rush into things. I'm happy to hear that you feel good about this girl, but don't worry about whether or not you're in love with her. It's early days and nobody's got a stopwatch, so take your time and have fun becoming friends. What happens beyond that is anybody's guess.
