Well.. Fuck my life..

[WonderChild]

I met this girl not too long ago. We hit it off really well, talking a lot and enjoying eachothers company. I developed strong feelings for her. I asked her if she wanted to hang out soon and she asked "just friends right?" then after it she said because she is 2 years older. I am 15 1/2 and she is 17 1/2. Could that ever work? Should I tell her how I feel?

Please help, I would very much appreciate it.

Well, I'd like to start off with you don't need a girl. Although they are nice, you really don't need one at the moment.

I have seen a bigger difference in age. If you really want to get her to be with you, then maybe talk about things that she likes, talk to her about what her family, your family, let her in on your secrets, and hope that you get the same in return. I wish you the best!

Sure it could. However, it sounds like she doesn't want it to. Give it time. I know that's not what you want to hear. But girls mature physically and mentally faster than guys. So she is in many ways, in a totally different part of life than you. 2 years is nothing. But in this point in both of your lives, it's everything. I at one point started to like this girl when I was 16 and she was 14. I could notice then the immaturity she had. And that not only got annoying at times, but embarrassing too. You may not realize how different you two are. But if you got in a relationship, you would soon find out that you guys are from two different worlds at this point.

Could it work? Yes.
Will it work? Not right now.

I know a couple who started dating when he was 15 and she was 17, they've now been together 3 years and are 18 and 20. They're stil going strong having gone through a lot including long distance.

However that took effort from both of them, a lot of effort. It sounds as if she doesn't want to put in the effort. If you have to convince her to be with you she'll be less committed than you and end up putting in less effort and ultimately it'll end. If you want a relationship that'll work she needs to want to be in it of her own accord.

Dude, im going through almost the same exact thing, same age and everything. I havent told her how i felt yet either. Honestly i think you need to ask her. She may think its a odd questions, but i dont think your friendship with her will become akward, trust me. Never jump to conclusions

anything could happen you two have to make it work

[botwa]

give her time.
the smart move would be to give her time now and not to rush asking her to be your girfriend or leavings this relationships right now.

Thanks for the advice guys. I am most likely going to talk to her about it this weekend or the next. Just some more info: both of us have never been in a relationship, she sent me flirty texts before she knew my age, she's a junior I'm a sophomore.
