Is he too old for me?

I dated a senior when i was a freshman, and I can tell you I did not have the maturity to date someone that much older than me. I know you are different person, and Im sure youre mature since youre even considering this and not jumping into it. However, a relationship with a senior is much more serious than one with someone your age. It's difficult to do that when you dont have as much life under your belt. They also may pressure you to do things physically that you would be more comfortable with you when youre older. After only a month of dating, I broke up with my senior boyfriend because I didn't know how to communicate and be with him on a level that he wanted so it always felt forced and awkward. I'd say be flattered that a senior would like you but don't date seriously yet. Just have fun with your friends and casually date guys your age or a year older or so. Good Luck!

First, you seem smart to want to include your parents as to whom you date. I am now a parent and a little older than you. But I have learned a few things along the way.

How long is he in relationships? Does he go threw girls like he goes through socks? Will you be a "sock"?

These things you need to think about. Boys, not all, do want different things. We want relationships which may lead to... Some boys want just ....intimate relationships.

What type of girl are you. Hopefully the smart kind that puts education first and realationships last. You can't reverse time. I wish I could erase things but we can't. Every older boy I dated, ALWAYS wanted sex. My parents always supported every decision I made, but they were always right. They would warn me and sure enough I would do what I wanted which lead to many break-ups. When it came to sex, I waited until I was ready, hence all the break-ups.

Good Luck

If you are at least 16 (and as a freshmen I doubt that you are) then you are old enough for one-on-one dating with 16 - 18 yr olds.

If you are under 16, then group dating of guys your age (+/-1 yr) is okay.

When you hit 18, then you can date anyone of legal adult age.

As a freshman, you're probably 14 and he's probably 17. Not appropriate. On his next birthday he'll be a legal adult, and you won't even be of the age of consent on yours.

More often than not, the senior is looking to get something out of the freshman. So just be careful about that. I am 19 and my boyfriend is 23, but we met after i was already out of high school. Its a little bit different than your situation because we are both legally "adults". My parents we a little taken back at first because he is legal to drink, and im not, but they have really grown to like him now.

Good Luck!

Yes I knew several seniors. That was a long time ago. You are too young for sex if that is what you mean by dating. But as a friend and someone to do things with it is OK. Parents worked to much to be concerned about anything.

it is not to big of a age difference

BUT!

the maturity level from 13 to 17 is the big difference

i mean if you were 22 and he was 26 not as bad

hope that helps

and thats where your parents would have the problem

HE is not really too old for you but is going to be moving soon. Is he going to college? How will that affect you? If you want to casually date him, then it is no big deal. Remember though, when he is in college you will be a sophomore. Do you want to get into a relationship where you may not see him very often? My advise is to casually date him and do not get too serious. Have fun. That is what high school is all about.

No. Thats really not too much. The only question is what if you two get close and then he graduates and leaves for college. Why would you knowingly set yourself up like that? Just a thought.

nope not at all. He could be your husband some day. Who knows.

Females.. its when the male is YOUNGER THAN YOU that you are just being used for sex.

We actually marry femlaes our junior by the endless THOUSANDS.

Frankly, I'm so fed up with women preaching to males what age we are supposed to date. WE dont need their advice. We are more successful and forging marriages with people our junior than women can ever dream of being.

I feel like I'm taking advice from a handicapped retard.

thats not a problem. theres plently of people that i know that have years of difference. one of my close friends is going out with a 20 year old and shes only 16.
