If you are under 18 and he's over 18 or more than 4 years your difference; you are what is known as Jail bait. If he takes the bait, he goes to jail for a very long time.
Second, sexy notes? Is that what you want your relationship built on; his lust for you and your lust for him? I can assure you, that once you are bare foot and pregnant if you thought your neighbourhood was livable now, it will turn into a hell you couldn't have imagined.
Surely you have more to offer than sex even if he is around your age. Work on your own feelings of self worth. Sex is an easy way to get any boy/man, but you will end up hurt in the end. Be attracted to a boy/man for his heart, and make sure they are attracted to you for the same, not sexy notes.
Yeah, that's kind of what I was getting at. There's a lot of this going around in my hometown and, trust me, it ends up very badly. Two girls under 15 caught with 20-somethings in as many months, and a friend who's a nurse in an ob/gyn ward had a 14-year old girl knocked up by a 23-year old. Not 9/10 times, 10/10 times it ends up bad.
If you can't get his attention now or he isn't attracted to you, it's not going to help. His likely response range will probably range from annoyance to maybe wanting to "get some", but it likely won't be "hmmm...she seems like someone I could get to know"
Not a good basis for a relationship. And in any case, attention from guys (sexual or otherwise) is much better in the context of a loving relationship, especially if you're young.
