About Ashley
Expertise
I can answer a lot of questions involving dating. My expertise ranges from sex to kissing, abstinence to friendship and everything little thing in between. If I can`t answer your question, I`ll ask around from my friends until I find the answer.

Experience
I've been through a lot of crap involving guys and friends for the majority of my life so I have a lot of experience dealing with teen problems because I most likely had the same problem at one time in my life. I love to give advice and I'm a great listener.

Subject: he's younger..

Question
I met this guy 3 months ago that was friends with my younger brother, his name's Hunter. He looked and acted like he was my age... and he wouldn't quit glancing at me and talking to me and he was really sweet and cute... so I started to get a little bit of a crush on him. I only saw him occasionally for a few months, though, so I forgot about him. But, I went to the skating rink today after my brother's football practice, and Hunter was there. He talked and flirted with me the whole time. I was really starting to like him again... especially when he hugged me randomly when we were getting drinks and when i asked him why he hugged me, he said "Because it's fun." What I'm saying is this guy is wonderful and the kind of guy that I would want to date, and I think that he might want to date me too... There's only one problem... while we were skating, we talked a bit and when i asked him how old he was, he said he was 12!!!!! I was shocked because he didn't act or look like a 12 year old. This wouldn't be a problem if I was 12, but I'm not 12. I just turned 15. I'm not really sure how or if this would work out or if it would ever be accepted by my friends... What do you think?

Answer
Courtney -

As you go into high school you'll realize that a couple years in age makes a huge difference. I would strongly recommend not dating someone that young because the age difference will become apparent eventually. While you're in high school, he's going into middle school which as you know, are two *completely* different worlds. He will start to not understand where you're coming from. I just think you should probably be focusing on guys your age.
