    I bet he does. Rule of thumb: girls like older guys and guys know this and sometimes use it to their advantage. I have a feeling that's what's happening here, he's just toying with you because he knows he has you wrapped around his finger. He'll have to wait 4 years before you guys can even consider a relationship, a lot will happen in that time, so don't expect much. It's not what you want to hear but it's the truth.

    Slapshots completely right, I would like to add though, do your parents know their daughter is talking to, likes and wants to fool around with a 20 year old? I think it's wrong. Wrong on so many levels for the both of you.

    You don't need our help, just ask your parents what they think about your situation, that's all the advice you'll need. The fact you have to come ask us this question tells me that you're afraid that your parents won't approve, which I hope they don't.

    This is a crush, and you'd better realize it is before you go and do something stupid.

    I would hope for his sake he knows he can't, and you're 14, it is a crush no matter how much you think of it otherwise and I never said something happened, but it sounds like you're on your way.

    I've not yet had the chance to experience fatherhood, but being close to and knowing my father very well, if my sister was having feelings and talking to a 20 year old when she was 14, I think all hell would break loose, for him and for my sister. Knowing the bond a father has with his daughter, I think your father would probably be quite upset as well. Say goodbye to trips to the mall alone ever again.


    Now, I'm not saying he is a pedophile, or has any intentions to harm you, I have no idea where his priorities lie, but for your safety, from not only your parents, but him stop communicating with this man, and start forgetting about him. It may seem hard at first if you say you've developed feelings for him, but after a while of not speaking or messaging him, you will forget and that is what needs to be done. You're too young to be in a relationship anyway, having feelings for a 20 year old is ridiculous and juvenile.

    A 20 year old interested in a 14 year old? I would jump to the conclusion to say yes, he does have intentions to harm you, sexually or even physically. This is one of those, better to be safe then sorry moments.

    Of course he says you are different. That's one of the basic lines to draw in immature and underage girls. And yes, there is harm in texting and phone calls and pics. Please ask your mom if this is okay for you to keep doing.

    Right now there is a big trial going on about a man who used texting and phone calls and letters to get young boys to like him a lot. Then this man offered them gifts to show how much he appreciated their friendship. Once he had them locked in and secure in his admiration, he began to molest them in various ways. It's called "grooming." And no, your rock music guy may not be grooming you intentionally, but what if he asks for a picture of you wearing a low-cut top? Okay, you send him one. He tells you how beautiful you are. You are very flattered and really like him a lot more. Then he wants a picture of you naked from the waist up. What would you do?

    This is called grooming. He flatters you, makes you feel things for him until you are convinced that you are in love. You become more and more dependent on him. Then one day he asks for some favors, like pictures of you in a bikini, then he works his way up to pics in your underwear. No he has something to blackmail you with if you finally wake up and start to say no.

    The real key here is any responsible 20 yr old would know not to have anything to do with a 14 yr old especially not to give her any sort of encouragement. So the fact that he has not cut you off, is extremely worrisome.

    So you need to tell your parents and stop contacting him.

    I've got an easy solution. Tell your mom and dad that you want to date a 20 year old. When they say no, you can tell him that since your parents said no, you're not legally allowed to date him, so, he'd be breaking the law, and if he tries anything, he'll be a convicted sex offender. I bet he won't be texting you again.

    You said this isn't a crush. I have a challenge for you. Wait 4 years. In 4 years come back and tell me if you're still mad about this guy. I'll bet you $500 that you will barely remember his name.

    Someone needs to say it, because this kid isn't getting any point here at all.

    You're extremely stupid. Yeah, you are, if you think sending pics and texts and talking to him on the phone is okay. It's not, not in any way is it. Alty, ScottGem and Wondergirl have given sublime points, and if you don't get the hint, your going to be in the worst situation you could possibly be in. Learning the hard way. Sweetheart, sometimes we do need to learn the hard way, but you need to wrap your mind around the fact that this is NOT A GAME. Remember when your parents said, "Don't talk to strangers"; I honestly hope they did, guess what, it's for a reason, and a reason like this.

    Do you have any idea how easy it is for him to be lying to you? How easy it would be for him to try and meet up with you if he continues this? He may seem all fine and dandy, until he decides he wants to have coffee with you. Then your parents never see you again. It happens everyday everywhere all the time, and it starts just like this.

    You need to wake up and realize you're 14 years old, not 24. You're a child, and you're playing an adult game with an adult.

    Tell your parents for crying out loud, because a 20 year old talking to a 14 year old like this is illegal, if my mind serves me correctly.

    Or if he wasn't and it had never crossed his mind, he might now be on his way to becoming one. Opportunity knocks.
