You'll be 18 soon, then your mom can't call the cops on him...if you really love him and he really loves you...he can wait a couple of months to be with you. You should also trying showing your mom your a reasonable adult who can make sound decsions. When you turn 18 and ya'll still want to be together...don't hide it...let her know, but not in a arrogant, cocky way. Both of you should talk to your mom and let her know that you love him and he loves you and ya'll are going to be together with or without her consent and if she thinks your making a big mistake...tell her its is YOUR and only Your mistake to make.

Ok everyone.... jus to let all you guys know, the guy I wasseeing(the guy 10 yrs. older than me) never abused me in any way. He treated me good. And NO I wasn't havin sex with him. We eventually broke up, due to all the rumors that were going around about us. We were talking but I stopped calling & tryna see him b-cuz if I didn't... things wouldn't have changed. There would be rumors still going around. You know?

I was brought believing that the guy should be a couple years older than the girl. I never said I had a problem with a female wanting to date someone younger than her. But like I said, the way I was raised was that the guy should be older than the girl.
I have not yet reached my goal, and I am not perfect. But Christ has taken hold of me. So I keep on running and struggling to take hold of the prize. My friends, I don't feel that I have already arrived. But I forget what is behind, and I struggle for wha
It shouldn't. I mean, if you're 13 and you're dating a 40 year old, yes there should be barriers. Older men are (USUALLY) wanting different things(if you know what i mean) and have a different kind of maturity. A few years shouldn't matter but that's it.
I dont think of age diffrence that much but I do feel if yu are 10 years apart thats a big gap. I also feel that there is a leagal thing here because you are 17 not 18 yet and he is like 27 or whatever thats rape.
I think that your age gap is kinda large, perhaps not bad enough to get legal about but... I'm 14 and my boyfriend is turning 17, we are deeply in love. Age shouldn't matter as long as both of you are mature and understand the consquences.
I think that you should end that relationship. You need someone young. Someone your age. Not someone that's trying to relive the relationship they had when they were 17. Think about it: When he's 40 tou'll be 30. You two will have nothing in common. He's been 17 before so he knows how a seventeen year old thinks. So, he might trick you into doing something and before you realize it's wrong it's to late. My friend was in the same situation that you were in. She got raped by the man and he left her. i know you're probably thinking that won't happen to me, but it can so be careful. -Alexis[/color] beautiful1768@yahoo.com

You know what they say " Age is but a number" , but I think sometimes age does matter like a 14 year old shouldn't date a 24 year old, but I also think it really doesnt matter because you love who you love and you should be happy in every choice that you make in life. Just be careful and dont do anything you will regret when you get older.
As long as he isn't abusing you, physically or mentally, then I see nothing wrong with it.
I too am kinda "dating" a guy older than me...only by a few years though. My parents are also uptight, and don't even want me seeing him. Today I had to actually sneak out of my house in order to spend half an hour with him. He's such a sweetie, and would never hurt me, but my parents think that all older guys are out for sex. It's aweful. I mean, I know that there are some dangerous older guys, but he isn't one of them.
hey, dont worry about the age thing and tell your mom if she really cares about you that she would let you be happy she has no right to take away your happiness. if you love him age doesnt matter. but do what your heart tells ya to do. hope you do the right thing take care love always sarah *been there done that i know how ya feel*
My first thought is PREDATOR! Okay guys, speaking as someone in her mid-20's I can honestly say that I have very little in common with those 10 years younger than myself and can't see what this guy might. My fist question is why someone who is 27 has such a vested interest in someone who is the tender age of 17? In the 10 years between you, most people go to college, get jobs, buy houses, pay mortgages and/or have children. What do you have in common? Do you not think that you'll miss out on many things by dating this guy? He won't want to go to your prom. He won't want to go to high-school parties or hang out with your friends. And if he does, I'd say there's something even more strange with this guy. To sum up, you're a high school student. As fun as it is to date someone older and "more mature" I think you'd be better off with someone in your age range. Your mum isn't doing this to make your life difficult, she's doing it because she loves you. If everyone in your life is trying to show you warning signs, maybe it's time to pull over and figure out why.
