Hi, got a bit of an issue on my hands.

I'm a 23 year old college guy. My uncle introduced me to a girl at a family party (no, hah, she's not related) and we hit it off pretty well. I specifically asked my uncle how old she was and he told me she was 19.

So we hung out the entire night and have been hanging out the past couple of months and I've developed a huge crush on her. I was all ready to ask her out when all of a sudden during a conversation, she brought up her "upcoming 18th birthday."

So now I've found out that my uncle must've either been daft or drunk, because this girl is not 19, but 17. And I feel really sick with myself for being attracted to her because she's underage. I mean, I was going to ask her out!

Part of me thinks that I should just stop contact with her altogether because it's creepy of me, and part of me thinks I should stay friends with her and ask her out on her 18th birthday (in June) when I'm just about 24.

Dunno what to do, help!

cd206 agony auntRight now 6 years seems like the biggest age gap in the world but it won't once she turns 18 and you stop seeing her as not legal. The fact is- has this revelation changed the way you feel about her? If the answer is no continue the relationship but maybe slow it down a pace until you're feeling more certain. If the answer is yes work out exactly what's bothering you and whether it's something you can work on together or something impossible to resolve. Good luck. Hope this helps.

I dunno I just feel bad for liking her. Like, I wanna keep being friends with her and possibly ask her out on her birthday, but I feel like I'm being creepy because she's still 17 for another 5 months.
