Is it weird for an 8th grade girl to date a 7th grade guy? Does that make me a pedo?

Im an 8th grade girl and I really like this 7th grade guy. I met him at karate and he's like my only friend there. He is really funny and smart, and much sweeter then guys in my grade. He has goals in life, like being an architect, and has opinions about world issues... I'm just really impressed. As we've become friends, I think I started liking him. I told my friends about him. The girls were like, "but he's so short! And little! The guy has to be older. " and the guys were like, "ahahaha you pedo. Are you serious? A seventh grader? " they were just kidding but I feel kinda like a weirdo. Then in orchestra, we were getting ready to play a piece. The guy I like stopped by for a while and we had a conversation and we were laughing and smiling it made me so happy. Then the guy who shares a stand with me was like, "you need to talk to guys your own age hahaha " (he's also a seventh grader). I really like this sevie, he's so sweet and a great friend. But everyone acts like it's so weird. Should I ask him out or just forget about him?

    Oh, God, you should learn what ''pedo'' mean. Of course that is not weird! :D

  • That is not weird! And your not a pedo! He's only one grade younger than you, who cares. LOTS of people date other people younger than them. You don't just need to date people in the same grade. What happens when your out of school? What will those people do that think your weird for dating a person not in the same grade? Because there's no grade any more when your done with school, or is it only "weird" to date people younger than when your in school, because that doesn't make that much sense. But anyways... your not weird, and if he likes you back you two can date! Being a pedophile is COMPLETELY different. Lets say there's this 50 year old guy, and he's dating a 16 year old girl. That is a pedophile, dating someone who is WAY younger than you. All those people who said your a pedo are idiots.

    Go with your feelings. If you like him, then go for it. I am 19 years old. I have dated older guys than me since I started dating. However, about 2 years ago, when I was in 11th grade- a 10th grade guy asked me out (several times might I add) and I finally gave in. I was worried about age diff. and all that too. Now, we have been together ever since and are engaged. I love him so much and he has been the best thing that has ever happened to me. Don't worry about age difference and what other people think about you. Sometimes, the younger ones are more mature and will treat you better. You are young and should live your life the way YOU want to. You need to follow your heart :)

    Ohmygod no! Haha that's actually really funny you realize you guys could be less than a year apart age wise! If you really like him go for it I mean my parents are 5 years apart and no my dad is not a pedo. Have fun while your still young and If it doesn't work out remember its not the end of the world:)

    Life gets a lot bigger then this, but I remember getting teased too. Honestly, do what makes YOU happy. Just get closer to him and see where things go. Dont listen to others judgments, people will judge you all your life, but that person isn't perfect either, they have no right to say anything because its YOUR life..The age difference its not a big deal , adults get married when the age difference is much bigger then 1 year, my dad is 3 years younger then my mom. Not weird at all.

    It's actually not weird at ALL. In middle school grades are extremely divided, but I like a guy in the grade below me. It's only a one year age difference. Im in 9th and hes in 8th. its not strange and youre definitely not a pedo. Go for it!
