[Gabby]

Hey guys!
So I'm going to get straight into things here!
So I met this really amazing guy at my local church/youth! and this was about a year back!
He kind of just caught my eye!and I realised I have him on facebook!so I asked him for his number and we started speaking!! In about july?+- 2013 we started sitting next together at church and speaking a lot on the phone!and while we sit next to eachother our legs are usually touching...(you know that leg thing you do with your bf or gf when eating dinner or whatever...if u dont....its like your foot is in between hers/his...kind of thing!)And I've sort of developed these strong feelings for him...I'm turning 17 and he is turning 15! is it ok for me to date him? Should I go for it?...
Please don't judge!or hate!All I've ever gotten on this site is hate so guys please help me out here!!ill pick the best answer...
Thank U!
My height is only 1.4 so I'm really really short!!so I've been pointed out to look like a 12year old...so we shouldn't have a prob with going out in public! Also he is really mature!more mature than most guys of my age...as I have noticed!
