I think it does matter. Ten years is a whole generation. If you were born today and went out with a guy ten years older you would be missing out on a whole decade of events. To clear that up, your interests are likely to differ. And trust me when I say this, a twenty seven year old isn't looking for a girlfriend, he's looking for a longterm relationship, you're still in high school so enjoy it.

Well, I can say that I totally agree with you in that matter. Age does but age doesnt matter. In a way if he respects you as a person than there is no reason for you to stop seeing him. Now dont get carried away and something bad happends; just take heed to what everyone is saying. if you really feel that eberyone is right and you listen to them be sure you are doing what chu want to do alos. Dont listen to everybody because in the end its still you and your boyfriend no matter what anybody says.

I think once you go over the 10 year range (which is still pretty old), it's too old. Like, it's just kind of unnecessary for a 30 year old guy to be dating a 15 year old girl or something.

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

Tia, first make sure dat u r not being subjected to any kinda abuse by this guy….if yes, STOP seeing him pronto. If, on the other hand, he is a decent guy, try convincing ur mom dat u r jus frenz wid him and once the heat subsides, occasionally tell ur parents how much social work hes been doin(does he????), and other related things that may be conducive to ur parents’ interests….the trick here, is to be tactful or else u r gonna hav to lose one of them….

he can't go to jail unless you're having sex. Just going on dates won't be able to send him to jail.

And I think, you can still date him if you want too and if he treeats you correctly. Also, the older you get, the smaller the age difference will seem. 10 to 20 is quite far apart, but 40 to 50 doesn't seem like such a big deal.

Chicks over d*cks. If you're friends don't like him, ultimately he's probably not worth it, no matter how you feel about him. Friends are way more important.

Age doesn't matter in relationships. Atleast not in my opinion. Ten years is not all that much a difference, so I don't know why your family is freaking.

Does he treat you right, does he make you happy? If he does then stay with him, tell your mom that you really love and respect him as he does for you.

I can't really say anymore because I don't know your parents, but I just thought I would throw my two cents in.

Tia05, when you get older, the barriers of age tend to close more. My parents are twelve years apart, but they did not go out until my mother was in her thirties. But, at our age, it is a little wierd (I'm not saying wrong) to go out with someone who is even a little bit younger. In my grade, a seventeen year old guy hooked up with a fourteen year old, and was taunted for a long time. There were only three years, but these three years make so much of a difference in maturity that there is a great leap. But it is also, I think, much more acceptable for a girl to be going out with an older and more mature guy, because guys do tend to be jerks at our age, I will admitt.

Well beck_ellen93536,

Do you think that if we stay together,( me & my boyfriend), things would get worse? "What if" I tell my mom we ain't together, but we still are, you think she'd buy it & forget about puttin him in jail? It sounds dumb , I know... but both of us still wanna be together NO MATTER WHAT. What do you think I should do, stay with him (mom not knowin), or jus call it quits? Let me know.

No, not really. Love is Love, no matter what age. But- if you did LOVE him you should break up because you don't want your mom putting him in jail!
