Is there a problem??

Ok, so I went to visit my aunt and cousin to another state over spring break. I got out of school 3 days early so I would spend more time with my family. I a just turned 18 a couple of weeks ago. While I was at my aunt's place I would spend all day with my cousin. He's 14. He introduced me to some of his friends. One in particular spend all day with me and my cousin. My cousin's friend's name is Jayden, he is 14 also. So Every we would spend the day either at my aunt's or at Jayden's place. I met Jeydon's Mom and Dad, and younger brother and they all seemed to like very much. Me and Jeyden became friends So when I left me and Jeydon exchanged Messengers. We chat everyday, literally. So am going back this summer. So my question is am 18 he's 14. Is it approriate for us to hang out. Also, I have a very young appearance so everyone that meets thinks I am 14. Jeydon thinks I'm 14 or 13. My cousin told me the Jayden thinks he is older than me. Also Jeydon's younger brother who is 12 somehow got my messenger and he also chats with me everyday. I really like Jeyden and I think that if i tell him, it would ruin our friendship. What should I do??

Being friends with Jeydon is not a problem. You should let him know your real age if you intend to keep being friends with him, because it's never good to base a friendship on a lie. As far as telling him that you "like" him, I'd hold off on that. The law frowns on relations between adults and minors (if you were to end up having sex), and either his or your parents might not really approve. Also, you just met the guy not very long ago; give it some time to be friends first.

Like I said, though, the friends thing isn't a problem. I'll be 18 in a few months myself, but I'm friends with a few kids on here who are 14 and 15. The age gap isn't a problem as long as you get along.

Well, I don't like him in a sexual way. I just think he's a pretty cool guy and I really want to be friends with him. And it's not like i lied to him because he never asked my age. I just have this feeling that if we finds out he's gonna feel weird hanging out with a guy that's 4 years older. And both of us are really looking forward to seeing each other this summer. And if I do tell him then how should I do it. I don't want to be like, hey dude your a freshman in high school and im going off to college. And also there's his younger brother, he's 12 and he really seemed to like me. and he chats with everyday. Well, I guess it would be in everybody's interest if I just keep my age to my self. Thank you for all your help!!

It's cool having a younger friend :D.

If you told him you were 18 i don't think it would ruin your friendship.

~Best of Luck!
