    Yeah, obviously not that close if he doesn't know you're a minor. Unless he does know and he's just a pedophile looking to take advantage of you. If you can't stop seeing him, why not talk to your parents. Then they can get the police involved. It'll go from being hard to let go to impossible to see him.

    This is why children should not date adults. You are simply too young to be in this situation.

    The only thing to do is end it. If you really feel you have to tell him why you are ending it then do so. But really, if he doesn't know you're still a child he's an idiot and not worth the time it would take to explain it anyway.

    People who are in a relationship and have gotten "really close" don't base that relationship on lies.

    You're lying to him, and you're putting him at risk. Because of your age difference he could go to jail and have a record as a sex offender for the rest of his life.

    If you care about him as much as you say you do then you'll end this relationship now. If you don't end it then you're only thinking about yourself. Being selfish isn't love. Letting someone go because it's best for them is.

    And I have no idea what a child and a grown man could have in common except him wanting sex and her liking the attention of a older man.

    At the worst he is a sexual preditor and taking advantage. At the next she is the problem and has gotten this man to not know she was a minor.

    In either case, he risks jail or prison and being on a list for the rest of his life.

    If you are really in love, both of you, then splitting up for now, and waiting for a couple years will work.

    Well he should notice on how young you look and why would you even date a 26 year old, that's just wrong, but anyway yeah don't tell him your age just tell him you don't want to be with him anymore.
