There is always different opinions with an age gap, but I belive that if the person makes you happy and feels the same about you, then age is not a factor. I'm in the same position as you - i'm 16 and my guy is 12 years older. Most people have accepted it because they see how happy we are.

If he feels the same,and there is no evidence that he is going to use you, then go for it, but be prepared for people (especially your parents!) to object. If not, then there is always someone else out there who is perfect for you. :)

Maybe it is working for you, though I tend to doubt it, but it is still bad advice. Twelve years is not an insurmontable gap when both are adults. But when one is a minor, it's a recipe for trouble.

I really can't imagine what a 28 yr old would see in a 16 yr old. I would have serious doubts about the maturity of any 28 yr old who thinks they are in love with a 16 yr old. And I really don't see a future for you or anyone in this situation.

Maybe I just have a "dirty" mind but I have no problem at all thinking what a 28 year old wants with a 16 year old child.

Personally the 28 year old most likely needs serious counseling or they have a metal issue and are not mature at all that may be the other maybe.

You should concentrate on being with people your own age or just a few years older.Eleven years is too much of a gap to have a meaningful relationship.
The way you feel now at 16 and the way you will feel at 20 are vastly different.You need to experience life before you can make a commitment to someone so much older than you.
I also question his motives.You are so young that he will probably believe you are easily manipulated and he can get you to do what he says is right,due to his maturity and your lack of it.
You may be very mature,but I doubt you are an intellectual and social match for someone this much older.
