Because drinking with someone who gets plastered after one shot is SOOOOO FUN.

But yeah. I can just take advanta-...

HI CB!

I'm in 11th grade right now and if I ever knew a guy my age who was dating an 8th grader I would slap him in the face and ask what he is really up to...

and plus everyone in the school wouldn't approve of it and there will be gossip flying around by the end of the day



actually now that i think of it my friend when we were going into 9th grade was dating someone going into 11th... but i don't think that that's bad because they were both in high school by then and she was a year older than everyone else because she was kept back

Oh, sorry about that. But she posted before me saying they'd both be in high school, so I figured that would be enough.

Theres an ok...and a not ok

ok = after high school 18+ its ok to have high age gaps

ot ok= high age gap below the age of 18

Im wondering why hes attracted to a middle schooler instead of someone his own age

no offense

^ I have to agree... although summer before eigth grade I dated a guy who was a rising sophmore, and then this past year (I was a freshman last year) I dated a senior, so I may be being a tad hypocritical. Still, it just sounds so odd I suppose....I dunno.

i know from personal experience that any older guy interested in younger girls (i mean like 3-4+ years) are interested in their v-card... any guy who denies that is a liar or possibly gay... younger girls are incredibly naive, easily manipulated, inexperienced, and best of all, untouched (for the most part)... if you're really going to "date" this guy, don't be a prostetot... have some self respect and just say "no"... at least save him the jail time and your parents the grief...

any older guy? what a generalization.
anyway, 8th grade-11th grade isn't that large of an age gap.

^^
Yeah, it isn't all that bad. It really just depends on the maturity of the both of you and as long as you guys make sure you're on the same page in your relationship, then its fine.

I don't know... I don't think age is bad, as long as they aren't using it against you. I could really expand on this, but I don't feel like it.

^ aww... you disappoint me ok... so i generalized with the any older guy thing... however most older guys are guilty of such things... i'm pretty sure that if the age gap wasn't such a big deal, then she wouldn't be asking for everyone's opinion (read: approval) about it... it just seems like she's trying to justify it with other people's opinions... whatever... i really couldn't care less what she does with her personal life... i thought the point of forum posts were to get other people's opinions... not a "everybody needs to have the same opinion" party... my bad... next time i'll know...

three years isnt a big difference.
pffft.

nuthing wrong with it, iv done same, and im just going into grade 9.
but you are a year younger so still be careful.

Its not about being naive.
Its about generalizing and sterotyping
Both of these concepts have groundconcrete reasons for being around.

Its nice to know that your relationships worked out. Really it is.
I must say, your bf has maturity and respect toward you.

Most dont. And I say most, not all, since not all boys are pigs.
Yet she's right when saying that when a boy turns his attention to a girl whos in middle school, or a freshman (when hes a senior), he normally is interested in something more than the girl.
Girls are easily prone to a love feeling when their in a relationship or having sex, guys are differnt.
They have a rush, not love when havng sex or starting a relationship.

Of course I mean this when the dude doesnt know the girl. As in, he just met her, and has no past history.
When your below the age of 18, large age gaps are not good in a relationship for varous reasons. People throw love around as if its candy anymore
