I a junior and a freshman likes me...?

So I am a 17 year old girl and a junior in high school. So my friend (a senior) and I always go to the library during study hall. I usually beat Sean there because he is usually with his girlfriend before class. The other day I took my usual spot by the chess board and pulled out my tablet to read and this guy walked over and we played a game. Sean came in not much later and I made them play each other. The kid didn't tell us his name or grade until we told him first and he seemed surprised that we were upperclassmen but neither of us were surprised because we did not recognize him and it is a small school. Sean always teases me about being single so of course he had to mention this to the kid and he made it sound like I was looking or something. Today, the kid came back and we played a couple of games while Sean was in guidance and he asked me questions about relationships and I could not tell if he was flirting or looking for guidance but he seems interested. I am not- I would rather not date a boy 2-3 years younger than myself for the mental maturity difference. Not that I haven't dated different ages- when I was 16 I dated a 19 year old and I have dated two other guys, between 6 months and a year younger, however, three years is a lot to me at the moment. I don't really know how to get this kid to u derstand that I am not intetrsted gently.

    I agree. I'm not into people younger than me unless it's by a year. It's most girls interest. If he asks, let him know you're happy being single because you have a lot of freedom and you get to be yourself whenever you want.

    If he gets mad, let him know it's not your fault that you feel that way and there are plenty of other girls single in your school.

    Good luck!

    It's illegal for you to date anyone under the 'age of consent', which is set at 16 or 17 everywhere. So you could get in trouble just kissing and hugging on anyone 15 or younger.

    Just have a causal conversation and put ur input tht u tryin to focus on school, or just talk about life without necessary saying, hey kid I don't want to date u ur immature..

    The kid should get the clues tht ur not interested. Just don't flirt.

    If he dont get the clues, just talk to him less and less every time u see him.
