idk what to do ask her out or just forget her

[dmeek7]

ok...so as the title says...i have no clue what to do with this girl......im a freshman and shes a 7th grader..so age is a situation as well as this.........i think i like this girl..but she only has the idea of only being friends with me..but i also dont know if i should go out with her b/c im a person that cares what other ppl think about me...and if ppl think im weird for going out with a 7th grader then im gonna get laughed at.........any ideas for what to do

Well, although there's only a couple of years difference b'twn a 7th grader and a 9th/ Freshman, it is a big two years, maturity-wise, so I'm not sure you both have the same needs right now. I'd be more concerned about that, rather than what others would say.

That said, people can be really good friends regardless of the age difference, you know. There's no reason you guys cannot enjoy eachother as platonic friends, without the stuff of going out. And who knows, in a couple of years, amybe it will evolve further into what you want now.

dont worry i got same situation here also
im freshman and she's in 7th
because of the age difference of like 2 years i keep it just at a "friendship" level

I agree with the last poster, I'd keep it at friends... Probably a good decision... Not that I'm against free spirited things...

[dmeek7]

well..first off to clear things up with the first poster...shes really mature..plus i should be in 8th grade but im so smart that i skipped a grade....plus....for the second thing......i asked her out...and she said yes...now were goin out and things couldnt be happier

I agree with Sam,

Age should not be a factor to platonic friendships, yet if you are pursuing a relationship, its the maturity that should be in the way.
Girls tend to mature earlier than guys, hence its too possible that you see a more grown lady in her current age standing.

Its nothing wrong, and do note that everyone has comments and opinions on who's going out with whoever...
If you are going to carry that esteem throughout, its likely impossible to find someone that suits everyone.

You are finding someone whom suits you, not others.
Although she has the idea of being friends, that does not recon you are unable to get closer to her, understand her better.

Maintain a close friendship, oftens aids in bringing it further in the future.
This gap you are facing now is just illusional, and would close as the years go by, and both have reached a point of maturity.

Besides, you do not need anyone's permission to love someone, so why bother what people think?

Good luck
