i want to read something about forbidden love. something along the lines of a teen girl/young adult male relationship and not the other way around. something like the book 'teach me' by r.a. nelson.

I am not sure if you are mature enough to appreciate it, but HE EMPORER'S CHILDREN is an amazing modern story that has won awards and is written beautifully. There are some very bizarre characters and one is a young woman, though not a teen, who has an affair with an older man, the father of one of her college friends, I think.
Why not spend some time in a big bookstore and browse in the fiction section. There really are not tons of books with the theme you are seeking. You know why? It is NOT a good thing for young girls to get involved with men outside their age range. There will not be happy endings. Be careful!

"Lolita" is about paedophilia and as such is not a 'love story' at all. It's also a beautiful work of art, which is why, even in America, it isn't banned.
Two stories that might fit your criteria though are Sarah Dressen's "Someone Like You", and Judy Bloom's "Forever".
In each case, young girls are drawn to fellows only slightly older than they are, but old enough to cause problems.

the book piano man is good. though i forgot who the author is. it's about a young girl falling in love with a man that's older than her, but the man just broke up with his girlfriend. she finds herself falling deeper and deeper when he plays the piano. sadly, the guy doesn't like her.
I've said enough, just read it!!!
