I think its ok as long as you are both over the age of consent and the older partner is not taking advantage of the youngers inexperience.
(i.e. does the time you spend together seem to revolve ONLY around having sex?)
If he is serious about your relationship then maybe he should be more open about seeing you. However I presume that, if he would get in trouble for seeing you, then you are quite young, so my advice is to just take it slowly and dont rush into anything you might regret.
Good luck!

No way. My last girlfriend was 26 years my junior. The reason we are now just friends is because we live in different countries and time and distance did for us.
I did and I still do love her with every fibre of my being, more than she did me, but that does not mean it was not the most magical two years of my life - even though we only met when I travelled to meet her.
Age is a number - not a barrier to love. If you both love each other then it is no-one's business but your own.
And with only a 9 year gap you may find he almost likes some of the things you like! My best wishes for a successful relationship.

If he is worried about getting into trouble due to age difference, I assume that you must be under 18, and I would say to you that you have no business being in this relationship. He is older will want different things, enjoy your youth while you can. Later on if you want to date an older guy, once you hit 18 it's no one's business, and the older you get the less the age difference matters.

Are you underage? I married my husband who is 9 years older than me at 18. Don't do that. Date, if you like, but don't give up your freedom. The older man/ younger woman thing is a classic situation of dominance for the man who is more experienced and wants to take care of his young woman. However, as you get older, you'll become wiser and grow as a person, and that is often a threat to the older man who sees you as not needing him to hold your hand through everything you do. You will feel stifled and he will tighten his grip until there is a breaking point and you go your seperate ways, or you cave to him, and he dominates your life, and you are miserable.

I know the law makes you legal at 18.. thats the law, but don't date any one 9 years older than you till your at least 21 to 23 years old.. if your under 18, from reading you question is what I'm guessing you are, stay away from him, don't call avoid him, like he's Mike Tyson at a beauty pageant, there should be no reason at all thats he should want to be with a girl thats 9 years younger than him, and who is a minor, tell him to find someone who is more his age

What has age got to do with luv? By the way If you are not too young dating him should not be a problem. But get to know him first and be truly convinced that there are no other motives why he does not want to be seen with you in public.

As long as your old enough to legally consent to this relationship, then of course it's not wrong! I'm currently dating someone 16 years older than me and it's been great thus far. I'm lucky because I've known him all my life and he's my brother's best friend, so he's always been respectful. Just make sure he's not in it to take advantage of you and he really cares about you too. Good luck and I believe it when you say it may be love... older guys are definetely better! Hehe. :)

That depends on how old you are and if your parents told you you couldn't date him. If you're 15 and he's 24 then it's wrong. Your parents could sue him for statutory rape even if you are willing. At 15 you can't legally give consent. If you are 24 and he's 33 then I don't see a problem with that. If you are a minor, you need to wait.

That depends on your age (are u below 25?) and his age. Normally, most couples's age difference are less than 5 years apart (as there are more things to share).
An important question is:" are there common things that both of you share, in spite of your age difference?"
