Should I date him?

[petmoliere]

Hey I'm new here so I'm gonna introduce myself my name is Pedro, I'm 16 and I'm gay. So recently I started talking to this 12yo boy which was stalking me for a while. I just texted him cause I wanted to know why he was stalking me which was quite obvious but I did it. He told me he had a crush on me and he seems like a good kid and all and he is not ugly at all.. what I need help with is do I give this kid a chance or just keep being friends with him.. thanks in advance

I'd advise you distance yourself due to the age difference, it depends where you live but where I am a 12 ye old should not be considering a relationship with a 16 year old.. Be friends sure but keep sexual contact out of it.

16 to 12 seems like a pretty large gap to me. You are probably pretty sure of your sexuality now but he could just be curious which could lead to one or both of you getting hurt. And the fact that he stalked you makes me a little skeptical of how healthy a relationship with him would be.
I personally would not get in a relationship with him, I would just remain friends.
You need to do whatever makes you happy but be careful.

Thanks that's what I'm thinking about doing but I was just wondering if something was to happen if I should or should not continue although I have made it quite clear to him that nothing is gonna happen between us two.

12 is too young. I mean some 12 year olds are more mature looking but, I still think you should wait for him to turn 13. If he's willing to wait that long, it shows character. But 12 is inappropriate.
