Ok, i'm going to be a Junior in high school. I was just wondering, is it totally out of the question for me to date a guy who is a year younger than me, is about 4 inches shorter, and hangs out with a compleatly different group of people. As you can tell, we are complete opposites. He is such a sweet heart though...should i go for it and get over the stupid differences or say pass?

It depends on if you care what your friends or his friends think. At that age peer pressure is really intense and cliques are the order of the day. You'd end up hurting him if you go for it then change your mind because your friends make fun of you or some other taller, older guy with irresistible charms comes along.

Some people might judge you guys for dating but there's totally nothing wrong with it. And you guys are only a year difference.. That's nothing!! Don't worry, if you like this guy than go for it.. doesn't matter that you guys are opposites.

That's perfectly okay! I am the same age and once had a similar problem. Don't worry about it. If you like him, go for it. As long as they are like within 1 year of your age range either younger or older then the age range is ok.

It sounds like a complete mismatch. I would not raise my hope too high, but, if you really like him, go ahead and date him once or twice. If you don't like him after that, then let him go. Be prepared, though. That "crowd" that you mentioned is a dead giveaway as to what kind of person he is. If you don't approve of that crowd, then don't date him since you'll be asking for trouble.

No one can make that decision but you, however I can tell you that I was confronted with the same type decision years ago and if I hadn't followed my heart instead of worrying about "issues" I would have had the blessed life I have today.

lol. thats like my friend (except shes older). She loves this guy and hes younger than her. I guess its okay cuz i know a lot of people who are married to people younger than them. If u wudnt mind some ppl saying things then go for it.

Eek, I did that once. I was a sophmore, him a freshman, he was like 6 inches taller than me, and we were totally leagues of social status. I went out with him anyway, and it was a total waste of two months. DON'T DO IT!

You are making too much of the concept of dating if you think it is a problem. Dating is (or should be) hanging out and developing a healthy relationship (friendship). Don't let things be bigger than they really are, it's cool.

You can absolutely date him. If you worry too much about your differences then you will never know what he was like. He could be the nicest guy ever or the worst but you would never know.
