SoSowhat10 agony auntI'm 16 and fell for a 23 year old guy..well actually he was 21 at the time and i was 14..hehe but I wanted him so badly..and we even flirted and everyone knew that we shared some chemistry, but we didn't act on it because we were into 2 totally different state of minds..me in highschool and him in college. Our chemistry is still there..if you ask me but we never see eachother and sometimes when we do..I don't say hi..I make him say hi, but yeah...I wouldn't act on it until I'm 18(adult) if I was you.

fishdish agony auntYou'll probably kill me, but you should try looking this at your parent's perspective...why would this man be interested in going after a highschooler and not someone his own age, would you be interested in pursuing a relationship with a 9 year old? The age gap and your minor status is disconcerting, and I don't see why waiting a little longer to prove to your family that you are mature enough (how long have you been together?) I'm sorry I'm not more liberal on this one, I've surprised myself, but at least, what can benefit you, is if you look it from their end then you can formulate counterpoints to it and show how wrong us oldies are acting.

Annalisa agony auntRocking your whole world at 16 could be the wrong step!

If you really love each other, be patient and keep your relationship as it is. Holding a good relationship for one or two years will prove to your parents that it's for real.

You are both young and you might find this isn't even what you really want.

God guide you, good luck!
