14 year old dating 16 year old?

If you really like him and your parents are ok with it, then you should date him. If it doesn't work out, then move on.

I don't doubt that you are mature, I can tell by the way you asked the question. You are absolutely right that 2 years is a big age gap at your age. You two are at different levels of development, both physical and psychological. Even if you are mature, you are at a different stage of development. You will have different expectations for a relationship than the guy will. This will cause difficulties in the relationships that you may not forsee at this point in time.

Its good that you know not to have sex. 14 is WAY too young to have sex, and 16 is too. Thing is, 16 year old guys don't know they are too young, and they think it is the cool thing to do, so they do it. Even if you know that you can say "no" actually doing so is much harder than you think when you get into a difficult situation. This guy's friends will probably pressure him to do it. Nobody can make you do something you don't want to do, but they can put you in a situation that makes you change your mind, only to regret it later.

That's not to say don't go for it. You can still try and date him, but proceed with caution.

I'm almost in the same position as you. I skipped grade 8 and am technically younger than everyone else in my highschool, but older guys are still asking me out because I'm much more physically and mentally mature. If you trust this guy enough, go for it! Just remember not to let him take advantage of you.

Well..

i would say give it a go, if he trys anything you don't want to do, don't let him its simple as that, and i would tell him that your a little worried about the age difference, but 2 years isn't really that bad i went out with someone 2 years older than me and he was really sweet, just remember, dont do anything your not ready for hehe

If you really like him, and you mum says it's okay, and you know he can't take advantage of you and your not going to do anything stupid. Then I say go for it! Whats stopping you?? Nothing bad is going to happen from this. And as you say yourself your mature. So go with your gut. And go out with him.

Good Luck! x

Well maybe you could get to know him first before you start dating.

I am not sure I understand you say you "REALLY REALLY like this guy." but you also say you were "extremely creeped out" after the dream.

Follow your instincts, if you think you should date him, then say yes. If you don't think you should date him then say no...

I went out with a 14-year-old when I was 20. 14 and 16 is miniscule, and there's nothing wrong with that.

i think 14 and 16 is the right age difference, he's mature enough to respect you and your old enough to make your own decisions. if you really like him and he's a nice guy then go for it =]

Yes

Im 14

My boyfriends 16. He will be 17 when i'm still 14, but his birthday is one day before mine. Anyway, he hasn't tried to take advantage of me and he knows when to stop. If you respect yourself, he'll respect you!

Well than go out with him. I've dated 16 year old when i 14 years old. If you like him go for it.
