Lol well actually im 17 and im dating a guy who is 23 we are about 6 years apart and have been dating for over a year now.

I dont think itll be a problem, well for most it is, and you have to understand their stand point. Most men use younger girls and exploit them and what not.

But my advice to you is that you have to know that you're dealing with someone who IS older than you and maturity is a bit different in some aspects. You probably wont understand some of the time why he acts certain ways but it also comes with the older person since they are a bit more experienced than you.

I am and have always been a very mature person and its come with my personality mostly because im a very laid back and easy going person. I have a bit of an old soul if youd say.

But I do understand that our relationship is going to be a little difficult especially since theres such a huge age gap. And alot of people are going to bitch about us. Though when you do turn eighteen some people will still say stuff but your of legal age and they cant really do anything about it.

Also since your a virgin I dont recommend you losing your virginity to this guy just because of the rush because he might be an ass. Get some time with him to figure him out first so you can understand his true motives.
