heres the thing. Im 16. My friend from a school about 5 minutes away introduced me to a friend of hers from her school. He is 15. We have been talking on AIM everyday for 2 weeks and him, my friend and I all went to the movies and had a great time. We both like each other but we are not ready to date because we dont know each other well enough yet. We plan on waiting for at least another 3 months until we have summer vacation. I am a Christian and he is somewhat of a christian as well. I was talkin to him last night and i said how i was saving myself for marriage. I also said how most guys i know tell me its stupid and he told me its not and that its a good idea. He then told me he was waiting too. My mom likes him but she keeps saying he is younger than me. So my question is even though he is 15 and i am 16, and even though we are in different grades (im supposed to be in tenth but im in eleventh and he is in tenth.)would you go for him? and he is cute too =)

no its not wrong.. i was in the same situation as you.. i was a year older then him through high school and the one year age difference didnt really matter to us.. now we're married and we have a beautiful baby girl together and life is great!! so if you really like this guy go for it.. its not like you guys are making a marriage commitment with each other by going out.. just get to know each other yet and see where your relationship with him will take you both.. if it works out, thats great.. if not, then hey, theres other fish in the sea.. good luck

I would go for it! He seems like a great guy, that respects you and your choices. I would not even think twice about a year difference in ages. If he's cute and nice, that is all I would need. I'm 24, and trust me, it is very hard to find a good guy! Don't lose something that could be really good just because of an age difference. And you should be very proud of yourself for going against the crowd and saving yourself for marriage. That is an awesome and powerful thing. You go girl!

My vote is 'Go For It!'
It's probaly less than a years' difference right? And it's not like you are talking about getting married or having a baby... you're just talking about getting to know someone better.
That being said...
Just keep in mind that a smart man knows when to tell a lady what she wants to hear, even if it's not entirely true.
I'm not saying he is a liar, but girl, you gotta know that guys will do or say just about anything to get what they want. :) Good Luck & Have Fun!

if you like him girl, go for it. One year is not that much different! And your mom likes him too, which is a plus. And he has the same morals as you, which is a MAJOR plus. Don't wait until summer, go ahead now. Does he live close? You can go to the movies to get to know him just as well. Thats what dating is all about. Getting to know someone. If you decide you don't like him, thats why its called DATING and not MARRIAGE.

I'm 18 and my ex was 16 when we started dating. He was a year and a half younger then me. Go for it, it's not a terrible age gap, one year is nothing. Take the plunge girl, or else you may regret it.
Good luck :)

As long as you guys arent doing anything innapropriate then I dont see the issue here. I think you just need to be young and have fun. Dont put way to much into it because I doubt you'll find your one and only so soon in life. Good luck!

Thats fine thats just one year apart that's no big deal but if it was two years younger then let it go. If you like him and the age thing is the only thing stopping you then go for him because it's no big deal.

go for him. one year is nothing. just make sure he is mature enough emotionally.
if you guys like each other you should give it a try... and if it doesn't work out due to his age, then you will have learned a lesson about dating younger guys. you will never know though until you try.

This has to totally be up to you. Time will tell and you have the time already set up!! You must decide to stay and see what happens to get the answer to this question all the way!

Give him a chance. Take it slow and see where you guys go. But don't change your career/college goals for him. If it's meant to be, if it's God's will, God will bring you both back together. Just be patient and trust.
