BLJ1992 Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 My parents have been friends with some people who live out of state for about 3 years. We go to visit them and they visit us fairly often. About 2 years ago we went up there and i met their 15 year old son when i was 18. I had been texting him but we hadn't met face to face. The minute I saw him there was a "spark" I guess you'd say. We stayed for a week and he and I made out a couple of times. And then when they came down it happened again. But shortly after he got a girlfriend , and when we went up there he completely ignored me. So I just let it go but still felt like there was something there?? Now two years later he is 17 and I'm 19(almost 20) and he's single again... so of course when we went up there he told me I was beautiful etc. And now i have those same feelings again??? I need help because i know hes only 17 and would more than likely not be faithful especially because of the long distance. But I just cant seem to shake these feelings!!! Help please!!
kaylan Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 The age thing is a minor issue in my view given your ages. Since youre both a little older now and the gap isnt larger than a few years, I think thats ok. When youre between the ages of 13 and 25 a lot of growth and life experience goes on year to year. So I usually think 3 year gap max for those over 18, and 2 year gap max for those under it. Im more concerned about your distance. At such a young age I dont think its something you should try doing unless you establish a local relationship first. Its a hard thing to do. I had a long distance girlfriend at 16 and of course it didnt really work out. I was young and dumb and a noobie.
Chunky Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 I used to go to camp in the summers when I was a teen. And more than once I found myself in a long distance romance. They never usually work out. He's 17 and still in high school. Girls will be there with him constantly. It sucks because I've been dumped a few times by long distance girlfriends. Give it a try if you want but just be prepared for the other shoe to drop. Good luck!
