BlankBlank Posted April 15, 2006 Posted April 15, 2006 Before I start, I know I'm going to get a lot of negative comments because of my and my g/f's age, but that is probably a good thing because I need advice/help. To start, I am 16(soph in high school) and my g/f is 14(8th grade)...yes I know young. I think that I'm too worried about the future. I feel like I'm in love, although I'm scared to let myself be in love with her because I don't know how long it will last. My g/f and I have had some problems, basically because she was unsure of what she wanted. She decided that she does want to be with me now, but she told me she is scared that she will change her mind when she gets into high school. Also, she tells me she loves me, but she is unsure of how she really feels about me(how much she loves me/whether or not she is actually in love with me). She told me that she does know that she likes me more than a friend though. So to sum it all up I'm scared that this relationship will not work out because I feel like I'm in love with her. Can anyone give me some advice on what to think, or what to do, if there is anything I can do. P.S. I know a lot of people are going to say I'm too young to have these feelings, but if that is the case then what should I do? I can't really stop myself from worrying about what will happen...
MadDog Posted April 15, 2006 Posted April 15, 2006 Hey there young dude. 16 isn't too young to fall in love. At the same time, there are a few things you should be aware of. First is that both you and your girl are going to change a lot over the next several years. You & your girl will be pretty different people so there's no saying that even if you make a great couple today, you'll be a great couple in a few years. It's happens though--it's just rare. Your girl also sounds confused about her feelings for you. This can happen with a girl of any age so don't worry about it. Just tell her there's no pressure & don't give her any. Don't be scared of your feelings for her just because you don't know how long your relationship will last. I mean, when 2 people are in the dating stage, there's never any telling how long things will last. Just try to enjoy every day with her. You never know, you two could end up together for a long time.
Sand&Water Posted April 15, 2006 Posted April 15, 2006 BlankBlank I suggest you, focus, on enjoying this relationship for what it is. Don't stress about the future, or little things that may grow both of you apart. You're, both, still young and there will be plenty of time for platonic and romantic growth. Having an open relationship with each other, and allowing for great experiences to come out of it, will only strengthen your foundation. Make sure you don't do something, that you'll regret. This is a stepping stone for future relationships. Take it easy !
