Sakura Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 I am 23, and recently start to like a guy or at least interest in a guy that I've known from some social gathering. Although there isn't really much to talk about other than that we get along well and have great conversation, I feel really weird and guilty for liking him just because he is 6 years younger than me!!! There are few questions I would like to ask and wondering if anyone can give me an answer... 1)I've never like anyone my age, mostly prefer those who are 5 years + older than me, and I never even consider anyone my age or even younger.....is it abnormal to actually have feelings for someone so young? 2)My feelings grow stronger as I spend more time i see him, I want to stop feeling this way but it is difficult...any suggestion? 3)Have anybody here ever experience such age difference? If so please share with me 4)Finally, kindda like the question I just asked, is this wrong? Am I weird because I actually have feelings for a teenager guy? Link to post Share on other sites

That would make him 17. That is illegal. There are few questions I would like to ask and wondering if anyone can give me an answer... I'll answer question number 4: 4)Finally, kindda like the question I just asked, is this wrong? Am I weird because I actually have feelings for a teenager guy? Illegal generally means wrong, so I suppose the answer is "Yes". As for being weird... I would not go that far. This is a huge age difference, however, and a huge difference in experience in life.

Bryanp Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 Hello, It is NOT illegal depending on the state. My state of Nevada the age of consent is 16. In many states it is 17. It depends on the state, since some are 18. Link to post Share on other sites
sportsloving Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 Sakura, at that stage of life six years is a really huge difference (emotionally and mentally). I think in this instance it would be best to walk away from the interest But thats just my opinion Link to post Share on other sites
sandymouche Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 Hi Sakura! I've been in your situation. I'm 26 and I fell in love with my friend's 18 yr old brother. All my boyfriends have been older than me, and I've never been interested in a younger guy before. It's a complete mystery to me why I fell for him, but I can't help feeling the way I do. Does he seem like he's interested in you too? Life is short and love is a wonderful thing. Go for it! A relationship with this guy might not last very long because he's young, but there's only one way to find out. I'm sure any guy that age would love to have an older girlfriend. Younger guys aren't as cynical and jaded as most older guys who've had their hearts broken several times -and they have little emotional baggage. I definitely think Demi Moore is on to something /Sandy Link to post Share on other sites
Sakura Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 Thanks Sandy, at least you're the only one who make me feel alittle better than thinking that I am doing something illegal. Btw, in my area it's not illegal because he's over 16. Beside, is it really illegal to like someone underage? Unless you get sexually involve that is, which I don't think I even think that far ahead, or at least won't be something I'd consider in the short run. Regardless, your situation is quite similar to mine, and I don't know if he likes me at all. There's probably one way to find out, yet i don't want to scare him away. I know the chance of long term would be quite slim anyhow, so far I am just trying to figure out why I have feelings for him, I've never been like this before. Further, he has little experience in girls so I don't think I want to scare him away, knowing that someone so much older than him is interest in him. In fact, I wonder if as you said, younger guys would actually like girls older than them? Link to post Share on other sites
