    A girl 2 years older than me
    So I really like this girl, and she's two years older than me, and three grades ahead of me because she was sent to school early. I really like her, but I don't know what to do. If it helps I'm taller than her

    It would help to know what your question is and how old you are.

    It all depends on the ages, if you were out of school and in real adult world, none of that matters.

    If you are still in the middle school or high school world, it all matters and it is doubtful she would have any interest in someone three grades younger.

    ** with that said, I actually did date someone two years older, and two grades higher, when I was in high school ( or at least "hung out" and was close friends with) ** HI Martha, I doubt she even knew how I actually felt, since I did not tell her, we latter went our separate ways, as do people in college do.

    So my advice, I doubt it will work, but why not talk to her, and ask her to do something together. If you do not try, you will never win. It is better to try, than to never take the chance

    Does she even know you exist? You have left out a lot of information that would help us help you.

    Sorry about that but yes. We've been neighbors since I was little and we still hang out all the time in a group of all the other neighbors our age

    Still a lot left out. Does she like you?

    At 17 she is probably more focused on finishing school and getting ready for college, whereas you still have 2 to 3 years left.

    Your question brings back memories. Way back when, when I was 16, there was a boy that lived right behind our house, separated only by a fence. He was a really nice boy, and he very obviously had a crush on me. Every time I was in the yard, he'd come out into his yard, and we'd talk over the fence. We saw each other many times in other place, the movies, the mall, etc. One day he worked up the courage to ask me out.

    He was 14, two years younger than me, and I was shocked that he wanted to go out with me. I turned him down, and after that we lost our friendship, he never came out to talk over the fence again. That hurt, as I really considered him a friend.

    I would tell her how you feel, but you should know that you risk losing whatever friendship you have with her. It's unlikely that she'll want to date you. Two years difference at 15 and 17, may as well be 20 years. Life is very different when you're a teen, and the maturity level of a 15 year old and a 17 year old, is worlds apart.

    Good luck.

    ... And the saddest part...

    Even IF she did like you and would possibly consider dating you, there is peer pressure. Her friends will probably give her some trouble for dating someone 3 grades below her. This would be enough at that age for most people to just not get involved.

    Since you seem to be long term neighbors/friends. Probably have her on Facebook, not like you are going to lose contact. Always better to wait a few more years. Show her interest, but not pushy
