Dear Sparky,
Be careful.
My
"Age Gap"
I wouldn't say that your
age difference in years is very large. I'm 12 years younger than
my wife.
It
Depends On the 19 Year Old
The real issue here is
maturity. As a father, I would have no problem with my 15 year old
daughter dating a 19 year old who I thought was together, whose
motives were genuine, and who wasn't just looking for a quick sexual
experience and then would disappear. However, also as a father,
I must say that I would feel really terrible if she was dating ANYONE
behind my back.
Have you talked this
over with your parents?
"No-touching"
Relationships
Also, if you're not ready
to "get physical" be extra careful. Not many 19 year olds
are interested in a no-touching relationship with a member of the
opposite sex. So, what is it you really want? What does he really
want?
 Age
Difference Shouldn't Be the "Turn-On"
Finally, don't let the
age difference be the main turn-on. You guys should like each other
IN SPITE of the age difference not BECAUSE OF the age difference.
Get it? It's a turn-on to be going out with the older guy. It's
a turn-on to be going out with the innocent young girl. Get over
it fast! That's how unwanted pregnancies happen. That's how real
hurt happens.
Good luck,
Charlie
