Age?, He's 20 and i'm 15... Options

[aznraver396]

First off, I know it's more or less illegal. It's difficult. We've known each other for three years now and we've been friends for two of those years. He's not going to take advantage of me since he'd only screw himself over by doing so. I brought this up with another friend of mine and he said "I was too smart for that." I sure hope he's right if anything does happen. We get along really well - so well that it's nearly crazy. We both have this sense of humor and we're both witty. I never thought I'd have so much in common with one person and be so different at the same time. I've already gotten into the arguments and conflicts with my friends. Some approve and some were strongly against it. i suppose they've learned to accept it. (They had no right to judge him just by his age anyway. They didn't know him at all. Those who did were okay with it.) Most of his friends are actually okay with it. My friend says it's understandable and not so strange to him because I'm supposedly mature for my age. I don't really care whether or not he's right about my maturity, but I do believe the whole situation understandable. If the age gap wasn't so strange, then everything would be okay. If you saw us together walking in the mall, you'd have no idea we had so many years in between us.

Is it really a big deal?

Yea, Im 23 now, and 5 years younger than myself is 18. Thats even pushing it, let alone 15 and 20. Where I live honestly that guy would either get his ass kicked for being a sicko or he would seriously be like turned in soon for one. No joke.

The fact that your in high school, and hes totally done is already way more than enough to kill what you have in an instant, I know from experience that older males that try an date girls only a lil but younger but are still in high school is basically a hangbag full of bullshit. Cause when you get older you wanna "grow" up and leave what I and many many people have come to call "High School Drama" behind them. For instance whats going to become important to you in school and all the people in it, the teachers you hate, the people you dont like, the horrible days and nights of homework. Theres just so many factors against the "relationshit" (Credit to Dane Cook)

If he pulls the I dont mind hearing it line, thats complete and utter BS. I am the killer sweetheart out of my friends and even hearing about that drama that I already had to endure makes me not wanna talk to certain people and I get along and talk to everyone!

I hope this will let you see some aspect of how much age and the difference of things that people have already had to go through can vary.
