How to Deal with Jealousy/How to Make One Jealous - age differences


Expert: Jenny - 6/18/2008

Question
QUESTION: Hi,
I'm 16 1/2 and I really like this guy at my church who just turned 20. He's a really sweet guy and seems totally perfect, but I'm hesitant to flirt (more, haha) or do anything serious (relationship-wise) because of our age differences. Do you think this is a bad idea getting in a relationship with him because of our age? Or does it not matter? Also, if age is NOT a problem, how do i let him know that i am okay with a relationship? thanks!

ANSWER: Hey Kelly,
In most states, If there is a 3 age difference then it really doesn't matter. It also doesn't matter if each side of parents are ok with the relationship, or if you don't accuse him of abuse. Let him know how you feel about him and see what he tells you. If the feelings are mutual then age in this case really doesn't matter.

QUESTION: cool, thank you!
um . . . how exactly should I tell him my feelings?! I have no idea. haha!

Answer
Basically by being the young adult that you are.
Call him, let him know that you need to speak to him about something that's really important. Meet up with him somewhere. DO NOT TALK TO HIM OVER THE PHONE ABOUT THIS. Once you're with him tell him exactly how you feel. That's all it takes.

Believe me, If he's not into you the world will not end. But take a risk, take a chance, that's what life is all about.
