    Does the age difference matter between two people?
    Now I am 22 years old, and I fell in love deeply with a girl who is 7 years younger than me (I think that is the difference). All of my friends think that it is bad. Is it wrong about what I decided? And I feel so sad when she is not beside me. I always miss and think of her, but I am not sure how she thinks about me.

    Smith CCB,

    Age difference does not matter, even as at your age (22), rather, when your girl friend is 15, she is a minor, and this is not her age to love, at least I think so. You also need to conform to the legal and social norms of Combodia, or at least its capital Phenom Penn, where you reside.

    However, still, if you both feel comfortable, its fine. No need to worry. But you are saying that "I am not sure how she thinks about me." Here is where you need to do your homework. Ask her. I have always emphasized upon the value of communication, and this is what you should do. And, write here, what you found, as to what is in her heart for/about you.

    At the age of 15,she is a minor and it is against the law for any sexual contact.

    You give the impression that this has not happened yet,nor should it,also that you are not aware of her feelings.

    I wonder are you jumping ahead to far, it seems to be a one sided "relationship" right now!

    You need to step back and re-access this situation.

    Age differences DO matter. But they matter less and less as one gets older. If you were 32 and she 25, it wouldn't matter at all. But the fact that she is a minor makes a big difference.

    However, societal mores do also play a part here. And I must admit I have no idea how this is looked on in Cambodian society. However, your friends thinking its wrong should give a clue. Also, you think you are in love with her yet aren't sure of her age or how she feels about you. That indicates you don't know her well enough to really be in love with her.

    So my suggestion is to approach her parents. If they are willing to allow you to date AND she is also willing then you can give it a shot.
