I was wondering if It would be okay for a 13 year old to date a 17 year old.
With no sex, or anything "close" to that. It kind of upsets me at the fact that our ages are so distant. When I'm a freshman in HS, he'll be a freshman in college! When I'm 14, he'll be 18, which would be illegal, right? What if you really, like extremely liked each other. It would really hurt if you couldn't go out. I know my parents and family would totally flip if I were to go out with him... well... I'm guessing. Guys usually have or had sex at age 18.
In NJ, where I live... the legal age is 16. I don't want to do it because, I'm pretty young... like come on! The age difference is really bothering me :/ I know most people would say, you guys are too young, and you have a whole life coming ahead of you. It just sucks. It's only four years, actually 3 1/2... it matters when you're a minor like me.
That whole "age doesn't matter" crap, is total BS. It still sucks... because I'm like a new new new teen, and he's like all... adult-ish... and job.. and blah blah grown up. He doesn't even look his age! Nor does he act like it! It's like he's 14, if he was it would be awesome. I'm just soooo upset about our ages, and I'd like some of your opinions about this. Please try not to give me too many negative comments, my hopes are kind of crushed... I'm hoping there is still hope for us :/
I just want us to be together, and hoping everything will be fine. :[ You always want what you can't have. *sigh* help?


(what if he's like a 14 year old in a 17 year olds body? I know it doesn't change his age, but in my opinion he's not really 17, I don't know, I'm just wishing some how it'll work out.)

Don't tell me not to stress it because, your talken to the wrong person :/

We act the same, it's not like he's so mature, and I'm so immature or whatever. The point is, we're the same...kinda. Get me? He's not like those party alcohol 17 teen year old guy. It's like a geeky 17 who's like 14. Ughhh try to understand haha. >.<

Pluss-------I feel as if when I'm older I'm never going to find another guy like him, this is why I'm like this.

I don't know if we'll last forever, I doubt it... but for now I guess?

You already know the answer to your question, you answered it yourself in your own post several times.

Hopefully it helped you to come to face the fact that this is not a good place for a relationship.

You are too young, like it or not, you need to stay away from this one.

I wouldn't be worried about the age difference so much, but rather the maturity difference. As you said, he's going to be 18. According to you, by that age most men in NJ are having sex. Once you're 18, a few years in age isn't too big of a deal, but there is still a maturity gap. You're 18, he's 22. You can't drink legally, he can go to 21+ clubs, drink, etc.

If you like each other enough, waiting a few years may not hurt, get some younger relationships under your belt so you know what to expect. You're still young and inexperienced.

100th post, HOORAY!

When I was 14 I dated a 17, almost 18 year old. I thought I was soooo mature. I wasn't. He would go out with his friends to parties and do all this stuff and I sat at home. It may not seem like a lot of different (yeah, its only 3.5 years) but in teen years it's a world of difference. Think of it this way, would you date a 10 year old? Probably not because it's a big age difference to you right now.

Enjoy being 13. Enjoy being a teenager, don't grow up too fast.

Dont be in a hurry to grow up because you can never be 13 again. For now think of school and self-improvement. It's just a puppy love. When you reach pre-adulthood, you will start to be susceptible to a lot growing pains and heartache. You'll be sick of it, trust me. 5 years is not long. It will just fly. Dont rush

Can you date him without sex yes BUT depending on your state you can not be with him sexually until 16. Many guys do not want to be with a girl that is not going to be with them sexually and even if he agrees it could still come to that because like they say about doing what comes naturally. Then with him going away to college you have the distance thing to deal with.
I would say the best thing is keep him as a friend until you graduate or he is done with college and then see where it goes.

You seem to understand the risks, sweety. There are risks in nearly every decision you'll make in your life, especially those to do with relationships, but I'm not going to tell you what to do.

But I will guarantee you that you will feel this way or even stronger about other boys/men in the future. So don't do anything out of a fear of being alone in the future.

And, honestly assess your own feelings about your maturity level and how assertive you're able to be in standing up for what you want, and what you'd feel comfortable with at the point of development you're at now. Don't pressure yourself to "be mature", being able to be assertive and understand your own needs at this time is much more important.

And yeah: if you know you're not ready for sex but you think he might be in the near future, why not just be friends getting to know each other better? All sorts of possibilities open up with friends you keep for years...

Kevin_s
Jul 24, 2008, 05:06 PM
Just know that he is NOT perfect, nobody is. You could date him, find out he's not what you want and then move on. There's always going to be someone else that can offer you something that another can't. You're young, date all the little boys at school and when you're old enough, and mature with past experiences of what you like, dislike... step up and date a man that is willing to be your everything, and be ready to do the same.

You can say you are able to do that now, but you lack the experience, and reality of the world (in a sense) to full understand what it implies. I still lack some experience in areas, but I'm constantly learning.

I remember my Junior year in high school, I was dating this freshman. And she was just in a completely different maturity level, she was always hanging all over me, always calling me, and all this other crap. Junior year I was very, VERY busy and it got to the point that after a month I just told her I didn't want a relationship and that she was very clingy. Now mind you that I am a very affectionate boyfriend, I love doing things randomly for my girl and even I thought this ex was crazayyyy.

OK let me see if I can give you the answer you want to hear. Not much negative right? OK, well no matter what his age when he goes away to College in a whole different environment and new experiences he will grow in a different way; as you grow and mature you will start to think differently too. If he acts like a 13 or 14 yr old now I guess that is fine... at that age he should be concentrating on school and have lots of female and male friends. No need to be stuck with one female as if he was a grown up. Although a 4yr difference seem large at 13; at 34 it is not that big a difference. Many men like younger women, so you will be replaced... it is just a matter of time.

Now from reading your post you seem very young , yet old enough to know the truth. I think someone who likes underage children would be the best person to present this question to.

By the way just in case your friend decides to do grown up stuff at 171/2 are you prepared to be a parent.
You have told us a whole lot about what you want... what does your friend want... besides you?

Where is your dad?

^^^ to big s: thank you, I understand all of that. All I'm saying is that it hurts that it's tough for us to date... :/

my dad.. is sleeping in the basement with my step mom... doing god knows what *sigh* lol.
my dad... idk I'd like to talk to him... but I'm sure he wouldn't like the fact that I even hugged a guy, I doubt any dad would. I for one, wouldn't like my daughter getting close to a guy.. (not that I have one lolll) it would come out like... weird. Lol anyway... idk let's see.

I only have one word to describe a 13 year old and a 17 year old in a boyfriend/girlfriend kind of relationship.

GROSS.


It can turn ugly, legally, and frankly, the 13 year old needs to go play with their toys, and the 17 year old needs to find a partner their own age.

Gross.

Kevin_s
Jul 25, 2008, 03:51 AM
To Charlotte: You should add that it's not the gap in age difference, it's that one is 12 (turning 13) and the other is almost a legal adult.

My step father is 4 years younger than my mother, but they also aren't teenagers, and are well above the legal ages/maturity.

Jul 25, 2008, 05:22 AM
You aren't mature enough to date someone of that age as you are still in the age bracket of group dates. I highly doubt your dad would find this acceptable, and then if you sneak around and he does find out he can press charges on the adult.

I would ignore all these people trying to scare you, personally. My sister, at 14, started dating a nerdy 17 year-old. They dated for two years and they're still not having sex and I think she holds her own in the relationship pretty well. You never know what could happen.

I think the more important facts here you've mentioned are: A) you admit you don't actually know him all that well, B) you seem to feel some sense of desperation (you're afraid of never having feelings for someone again, your dad is involved with this other woman, etc.). It's never good to make decisions out of a feeling of desperation.

It seems to me you'd be most comfortable just being friends, for now. And I certainly think that's a fine idea. And you will meet other people in your life, trust me.

With no sex, or anything "close" to that. It kinda upsets me at the fact that our ages are so distant.

....
That whole "age doesn't matter" crap, is total BS.

If the "age doesn't matter" thing is "total BS", then why are you wondering about it and why does it upset you? Because, of course, age does matter, especially at your age.

As you note yourself. You will both be going in different directions. You to HS and him to college. You are both at various different stages of your lives. No Age DOES matter. It matters less and less as one gets older, but it DOES matter.

The reason some of us are trying to scare her is because older boys like to prey on younger girls and that IS a scary situation. Ok, in your sister's case it worked. But she's the exception not the rule.

^^^^^^^okayyy people. Haha. Wowwww.
uhm first of all, I don't really know his age, all I know is he's going to be a junior.
He might be like 16 turning 17, and I'm 12, turning 13.
I hope he's 15, haha. For now, I'm going to get to know hi, to try and see the type of guy he is. I will give him the benefit of the doubt. I'm just going to try and see if it works.
I like/love toluca_86's answer ha. It made me feel better. Don't get me wrong, I understand all you others too. I'm going to be careful... and see. (:

ScottGem: There are guys at any age who will pray on girls/women at any age. There are also guys at any age who will be respectful towards girls/women of any age. Unfortunately there is no easy way to automatically tell the "good" from the "bad", either. Age is not a safety device, either way.

The problem is, in my views and my experience as a woman, that by scaring girls you are not necessarily empowering them to make their own decisions and be assertive/stand up for what's best for themselves in the future. You can't just go through life expecting to be taken advantage of; you have to know you deserve more and can expect more in order to demand more. And ultimately, a girl/woman has to take care of herself...

Also, most everyone makes some decisions they regret at some point, and has some bad things happen to them at some point - I think this is true for women who have relationships with men in particular -and most of us learn, and grow, and survive. Sometimes you know you should have seen it coming, but a lot of times there was no way you could have known what would happen. Like I said before, every time you make a decision in life you're taking a risk -this is inevitable.

^^^^ thank you (:

I'm pretty sure I'm not an idiot, I'm going to get to know this guy. If I feel something isn't right or he's the type that wants sex and only sex etc, of course it's a "no,no."

My first impression of him is that he's nice, and funny. He's in my Kung-fu class.
I just want things to be good, and I'd love to be happy.

I just broke up with some total moron. I know it's funny because I'm 12 almost 13, and adults would think "pshh, what does she know? She's 5! ha".
Anyway, he is extremely stupid, he's become worse. He's a liar, and an .
He's just amazing. I deleted him on Myspace, and blocked him on AIM.
It's just hard for me... I don't know why, I'm sort of jealous that he likes the girls that like him. The weird thing is that, I don't like him! I don't know, I'm a weirdo.

I'm going to try out this 16-17 yr old, hopefully things will work out nicely. (:

Are you just looking for love after a failed relationship, it happens, and I understand feelings for an older guy.

As a dad though with daughters and nieces, no way a 12/13/14 year old gets to date a 17 year old and a word to the wise, when dad does find out he will have hell to pay so if you care that much, be friends and wait on anything else... just for his sake. If your mature as you say then understand how a parent may feel, and don't do anything to put HIM, or yourself in danger.

You will have many strong, and intense feelings in your life, and learning to control them now, will help you cope with the crazy world we live in, so pay attentions to yourself, and make sure you know where those feelings may lead, before you act on them.

Marriaget, the more you post the more intelligent you seem. What kind of hobbies do you like, if you have none find one. You have all the answers to the questions you have asked. You are right no father would want his daughter in this relationship at that age. As a mother you wouldn't want it either. Please have fun and great memories; go to the movies with your friends; talk to boys; laugh with and at them; talk about them; learn from them. Teenagers have raging hormones and many males focus and dream about the female body and what they can do with it. I honestly think you do have a good head on your shoulder. I trust you. When the time comes where the flesh becomes weak and you feel like you can't trust yourself... remember this; you marriaget, can handle a challenge and it is so easy to do the wrong thing. Do me a favor and take the hard right instead of that easy wrong.
" Remember many teenage boys are "young dumb and (full of) want some.

Andrew916
Jul 25, 2008, 11:53 PM
Sorry lol. I just got my wisdom teeth out and I'm on vicoden so I'm a little out of it. But what I meant to say is that I'm 17 and if I went out with a thirteen year old I would feel as if I'm using her. But that's just me. Age doesn't matter so much when you're older (let's say college). But at your age- age makes a huge difference. But that's just what I think. The other thing that comes to mind when I hear your situation concerns him. I would like to know why he can't get someone his own age. I'm sure you're a great girl and it's nothing against you- most guys my age aim older not younger- especially not three years younger. My ex was a year older than me. The youngest I'm willing to go right now is a year below me but that will change as I get older- when I go away to college- all college girls will be okay by me but I would not dip into the pool of young high school girls. That's just my opinion and I hope it clarifies my earlier vicoden-influenced post. Once again it's just what I think and I think it's something you should consider when thinking about your relationship.

Hey Andrew,

When you say "most guys" your age "aim older not younger" I think you're projecting a bit, eh? Based on what you yourself like? I think that's something all of us have to be careful of, and for whatever reason it seems to me young men do this even more than the rest... You can't just assume most people like what you like. In fact, when it comes to almost any characteristic a potential partner can have you'll find many, many different preferences out there in the world... probably more than you can imagine right now at your level of experience ;)

I do agree most 17 yr-olds do not date 13 yr-olds, however...

You're probably right about me projecting but it is what I see as well. Most of my friends date same age or older. In fact almost every guy at myschool dates same age or older so I'm also taking infrom the environment but as I said before- just my opinion...

Well at the high school I went to most guys dated younger -you may be right about what you see at your school though, local cultures can definitely vary a bit... The point I was trying to make was I guess just that it varies a lot in general...

Hmm... I am in a situation like that

I just turned 17 and this girl just turned 14. I'm going to be a senior and she will only be a freshman... I have seen people at my school date that much younger and she is very physically mature and mentally mature. Most of my friends are horndogs and are telling me to "pop her then drop her" and I'm not that kind of guy. I might really like her but the whole age thing is looked down upon by all my friends and family. I understand that in about 5 years it won't matter... but I'm not sure what to do either...

Look at my previous post- it'll be OK later on but the age difference is generally looked down upon especially when the guy is older. A lot of people will think that you're in it to "pop her and drop her" even if you aren't. So just be wary of that.

marriaget, don't get with this guy because you are on the rebound. Remember to take the hard right over the easy wrong.
At this point, it doesn't matter what we think, you have somewhere in between made up your mind; you are just waiting for the right posting to encourage and justify why all this is OK.
You didn't have to ask this question, so I admire you for being honest, knowing that on this site you might have been judged in so many ways. I see you have been trying to put some taught into your decision.
No matter what you do, you will know what you have done even if no one else does. You will have to live with that decision; if you are a virgin and decide to give it up, remember that virginity is like a mineral; once it is removed it cannot be replaced. Most of all remember in the end, we don't have to live with you; you have to live with yourself and so you should want to be fit for yourself to know, always able to look yourself straight in the eye and be proud of what you have done. At the end of the day you will know what others will never know, you will see what others can never see and so no matter what you want to have self-respect and be conscience free.

We broke up like 2 months ago, and we kept talking throughout those months.
I just stopped talking to him like 2-3 days ago. I'm not looking for a rebound, I don't like this guy I broke up with. I'm just looking for a nice guy.

Yeah, I get you... I'm not giving up my virginity anytime soon. I admit, I am very curious about it and I have thought about it but like... come on! I wouldn't be about to live with myself knowing I lost it at 12/13! That's just too young.

I always tell other girls/guys not to do it young, so If I did... I'd be a hypocrite.

Anyway, yeah...

When you say "most guys" your age "aim older not younger" I think you're projecting a bit, eh? Based on what you yourself like? I think that's something all of us have to be careful of, and for whatever reason it seems to me young men do this even more than the rest... You can't just assume most people like what you like.

But isn't that exactly what you were doing? Just because your sister had a successful relatonship with a similar age gap, you encourage some other girl to go ahead with a similar relationship!

Thanks guys. (:
I'm just having a hard time...cuz my and this other guy kinda broke up.
So i just really want a nice guy, and this 16/17 yr old is soooo nice and funny.
Like...literally, you don't find those guys here. There are just "ghetto" stupid ppl here.
Well.....let's see! (: I see him on monday....and i'm going to ask him for him s/n or number...so we can get to know eachother better.

Define "ghetto" because I crew up in Oakland/Alameda/Hayward California most of my life lol.

Comments on this post
Toluca_86 (https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/members/toluca_86.html) disagrees: If you read all my posts, I never ever "encouraged" her to get with this guy. I "encouraged" her not to write anything off based on an age gap over all other factors... I also "encouraged" her to get to know him as friends, before anything...

First, may I call your attention to the guidelines for using the comments feature found here:

Second, while its true, you did encourage her to get to know him better, this quote;
"I would ignore all these people trying to scare you, personally. My sister, at 14, started dating a nerdy 17 year-old. They dated for two years and they're still not having sex and I think she holds her own in the relationship pretty will. You never know what could happen." And others do, in fact, encourage her to ignore the age difference.

Kevin S... actually I don't mean to say ghetto... because people here... are not really ghetto... they try to be. They think they are, but what I'm trying to say is that they're just stupid. Not ghetto or anything just like the people I know are stupid. Seriously, I don't even know what ghetto is. People here are like yo nigga wusz good. Which in my opinion is STUPID.

& ScottGem, I don't think she encouraged me at all. She's just gave me an example telling me that not 100% wrong to date a guy 3ish years older than you.
She didn't say it's 100% okay either.

So how you doing?

It's cool if you don't have a boyfriend. Many teens go through what young adults call "high school drama relationship stage." It's basically high school (middle school too) couples who act as if they're really in love, kiss, make out, and have sex... few weeks to months later, they break up.

Pretty simple..

I'm all right.

Going through ridiculous drama... family... friends... guys. Parent's can be so annoying. My dad says so many screwed up things out of anger... and does many things out of anger. I'm so sick of it, there are so many things he doesn't know about me.. and I can't tell him. BECAUSEEE, he's DAD... and he'll flip. I know, I tried, oh well. Got to live. -_-

& yeah, that whole... omg I'm in love with him ahhhh. Is like kind of BS...
You have a boyfriend for a week, and your in LOVE. Then you break up, and get a new one a week later... I'm in LOVE. By the end of the year you were in love like 30 times. It's dumb.

Well, whatever. Got to live life huh?

How are YOUU doing? How's life treating you?

Hey you, yeah.. I don't go on much.

Yeah I have, he's all right. I mean, I'd like talking to him or hanging out with him, but I don't want a "relationship" with him. Hopefully, I'll find a nice guy I'd like in HS, then college or w/e. I guess I'm a little picky, I just want a nice guy. They're pretty hard to find... well I don't know I'm still young. Hopefully I'll be alive to see my teenage years, and so on. (:
Let's see, let's see.

I'd like to move from here, to a better place. I'm just scared, because I'm pretty shy, and I'm scared I won't find kids that think a little like me. I just don't know... bring it on.

Anyway, how are you? Everything going smooth?

I used to be pretty shy, but I started working at Starbucks my sophomore year and that really helped me to open up and go from being an intravert (shy) to an extravert (open to meeting new people and stuff).

I'm always talking to new people, and making new friends. I remember last week there was this woman stuck where I live (San Ramon) and didn't have any cash for gas and bridge toll to get to San Francisco (About a 45 minute drive) so I gave her 20 bucks haha.

I'm doing good, today's my 2.5 year with my girlfriend (the 16th) so she's going to cook me dinner and then she said she is taking me somewhere but won't tell me where haha.

Don't worry about trying to find the perfect guy, you'll go through a bunch that aren't quite right and then you'll find your match! Try to talk to a bunch of people in high school and make friends, you never know who might be a good person to keep in contact with when you graduate and such!

<3 good luck!

That's great. (:
I'm like not EXTREMELY shy, and I'm not really social. I guess I'm in between.

Ha, aw that was nice of you. ^-^

Wow, that's really great, I wish you both the best. (: You give me hope! Baha. :D

I guess, I'm trying not to worry much. Yeah, I'll try to make friends in HS, and now or w/e lol. I wish I wasn't so shy :/ I guess it'll be all right.

My dad just said I can go to NYC, with my friends :D ha, I never thought he'd EVER let me. I guess I'm pretty lucky. My birthday is on Oct 6, I'm looking forward to it. (:

I guess I'll just go along with life, etc etc... let's see. =]

ha I don't know I like talking to you (:

and thanks, good luck to you and your girlfriend (:
