I like him but hes 23....I'm 16?

[Ms. So Focused]

Ok so...I like this guy but he Tssshas some years on me. We worked together this summer but really started to get to know each other the past two weeks. The last day was Friday. We did kinda flirt at work. Now yesterday he gave me his number on Twitter and said to text him sometime. I said I would. Then we started having a conversation in our inbox which led to him telling me that he likes me...he asked me if I like him but I didn't tell him, I just sorta hinted at it. After he told me that he likes me, I feel sick...and I know why it's because I've never talked to someone this old, but I do like him though. I threw up this morning. Ik this is wrong, but I don't plan on doing anything with him. I'm a virgin...and I plan on being one til marriage. Help me, what time should I text him today? And I need to find out his real age...I just think hes 23. Thanks so much :-)

This is quite a large age gap and you are quite young, however you are 16 and it is common for girls to go for older boys, i would say be careful, get to know him some more until your definitely sure hes interested in you and he is as he seems ( genuine, nice etc) But go for it, just be careful, as they say, age is just a number,

well u should just casually ask him how old he is or when he was born(nothing to stalker ish) and if things get more serious and lead up to marriage well my parents are 6 years apart in age and one of my friends parents are 9 years apart in age and you guys are only 7 years apart so i think the age isnt that bad GOOD LUCK
oh and you throwing up in the morning might just had been being nervous or just a coincedence. when u text him just say hey or somethin just be urself
hope i helped!
