He's older and wants to wait til I'm legal...a keeper?

Question

My BF is 22 and I'm 16. We have a lot of fun together and I love being around him.
However, of course, I'm still a minor for 13 months more (I turn 17 in Jan.) and although we've kissed before, he won't touch me or even start hot steamy kissing (like, in a car) with me until I'm legal.
when we kiss, its hardly ever frenching (I'm the one to start it) and he won't grab my *** or even talk about sex with me. He does however assure me that he'll be safe and use condoms when we're ready.
We've been together as a couple for 6 months and known each other for a year. I'm totally comfortable around him and we always hang out in public....never at either of our houses.
He has a good job that he loves and he's so fun to be around...the best guy I've ever known by far.
I see nothing wrong as long as we wait...but I need opinions...I cant ask my town cause is judgemental..parents too, who are 5 years apart btw
So, is he a keeper? Should I dump his ***? Cut the kissing til I'm fully legal?

For those who didn't understand what I was saying... I know u have to be 18 to be legal...
I turn 17 in a month and 12 months after that I turn 18....
1+12=13 months...get it? lol sorry not tryin to be rude..just pointin out that I know what I'm talkin bout

He is not married...I checked. I know his uncle, who knows my family and which is how me and my bf met...his uncle is the only one who knows.....neither guy knew I was 16 until they offered me a beer and I told them straight out how old I was...
People tell me I look 25-30 a lot...
He was my best friend at first, but one day we admitted flat out that we liked each other....
His friends know who I am and my friends know who he is....they just don't know that we're together...
we're 6 years apart and my parents are 5 years apart...do people expect me to marry someone my age?? unlikely...

Answer 1

I think he is a keeper! He sounds like a gentleman and as if he alot of respect for you. But I also think it is best that you wait until your legal before continuing any sort of romantic relationship because it is possible that he could be charged with statatory rape and be sent to prison, if someone were to find out about the relationship and were to go the police. You only have a few more months before your legal, so I think it's worth the wait!!!
GOOD LUCK

Answer 2

Ummm he's in a very tough spot and I would respect his boundaries, it's his as**on the line if you get found out.

With that aside he seems like a great guy! I think you should stay together and see what happens. You two would be best to get to know each other better before you get into sex anyways. Also, if you're living in America 18 isn't always the year you reach maturity it can be as young as 16 in some states so you can look that up if you want.

Hope I helped

Answer 3

Please keep this relationship simple for now. No kissing or anything. This is for the best at this time and yeah, so far he does sound like a smart guy. I don't know about the keeper part because I'd wonder how many other 16 year old girls does he hang out with. Hang out with him only in public !

Answer 4

This is what i say to that, i was in your shoes (2
years ago i was 16 and he was 25,but now i am legal and we have been together for almost 2 in a half years. So i thank you should wait for him because he is patient, if he is waiting on you to be 18 he muse be so hell of a guy so he is a keeper!!!!

Answer 5

"Is there something incorrect with me? Preferrably Christian solutions." i became into cited Christian yet became Agnostic/Athiest in teen years. I stumbled in the time of Buddhism and have stumbled on an affinity with it. i do no longer think of there is something incorrect with you, different than for that blip (of destructive judgement) what with getting in contact with a married guy. yet in spite of this, to err is human so which you're commonplace in spite of everything? i might say that probably the main healthful and clever element, is to take it slow with existence and don't experience you may desire to co-habit with a fellow, or have intercourse, till now you're married. even nonetheless being married isn't for me, i won't be able to see something incorrect with getting married at an early age (20s), as antagonistic to later in existence (30s, 40s). For some human beings orienting their existence around a romantic companion fits them ok. yet, given your loved ones history, do take care to no longer placed a fellow 'on a pedestal'. (in line with threat learn Absent Father Syndrome) be happy Be style. And maximum of all be style to your self. :-)

Answer 6

I see that you've been a couple for 6 months, a strong accomplishment for any 16 year old in the dating scene. His restraint is admirable. If you two are comfortable waiting so long, I think you two sound perfect.

Answer 7

Wow he is a keeper for sure. He knows not to ues you so he's very respectful. I wish I could find a guy like that. At least you know that this guy isn't perverted or anything. And he's responsible and waiting for the right time.

Answer 8

Respect his wishes and wait until you're legal. Since it's his freedom that's on the line, it's only fair. Dump him (for the time being) and find someone closer to your own age to be with.

Answer 9

I think you are on the right track. It sounds like you are a girl who knows what she wants. If I were you, I would continue they way you are for a longer time and see what happens. If he begins to pressure you, then he isn't worth it. So far, he sounds like a keeper to me.

Answer 10

Yeah, he sounds like a smart, sensible guy (like me lol). Definitely stay with him. By the way, you're a minor until you're 18, not 17.
