Age doesn't stop these two from being totally adorable.
Hi Heather,
Is it weird for a junior in high school to date a freshman? I really like this guy and we spend a lot of time together but he’s two years younger than me! Would it be too weird for us to date?
If you really like this guy, and you two get along really well, then you should feel comfortable dating him even though he’s younger. When it comes to relationships, the thing that really matters if both people have a connection and make each other happy.
That being said, I know that it might seem weird to date someone younger than you. You might be worried about what other people will think, and that’s completely understandable. But in the end, all that matters is how you and this guy feel about each other. It can be hard to go against what society thinks is “normal”, but if you two really like each other, than you shouldn’t feel like you have to make your age an issue.
But while the age difference shouldn’t be a major issue, it’s still something to consider. Keep in mind that gURLs naturally mature faster than guys, so don’t be surprised if you two aren’t on exactly the same wavelength. But as long as he makes you happy, feel free to date him, because it isn’t weird at all.
WDYT, gURLs? Have you ever dated someone younger than you? Would you ever date someone a different age than you? Do you think it’s weird when gURLs do that? Give us your advice and discuss below!
take care,
heather

Breakup Stages 
I’m 14 and i’m in love with my best friend. He’s 12, and he’s my best friend’s brother. I’ve liked him for 4 years and last summer, August 16th 2012, he asked me out. It was the best summer ever. We did all those couple things. I felt weird dating him because I have been dreaming about dating him for the past 4 years and it was actually happening. on November 3rd, he broke up with me. He felt as if I didn’t want anybody to know were dating, which wasn’t really true. It was just weird for me, entering high school, dating a 7th grader. I just didn’t want to be judged. Also, all my friends kept saying how it was weird. One of them told me it looked like i was babysitting him. But i still love him. I over looked my mistakes and
my best friend said that he might like me back. I just wanted to thank you for the advice.
So hes 14 & a frashman. Im 17 & a senior is that wierdd? Ughh please i need help.
For short, he goes to primary school with my little brothers and they’re best friends. This boy asked what year I’m in, I said i’m in year 8 going 9 and he’s in year 5 going 6. He also said that it sucks that I’ll be in year 10 and he’ll be freshman when he go to high school. I said that we will still see each other anyway. When party’s over, he kissed me goodbye.
This boy is just so amazing and I have fallen in love with him. He is so handsome. When I read this website, it gave me confidence of liking a guy younger than me. But it feels kind of weird liking a 12 yr old boy. But seriously, I really like this boy. I wish he goes to my school right now. God, I love him.!
Sorry that it’s so long. Xx
This leaves me thinking about the guy that I like. I’m 14 yrs old and this boy that I just met from a party (normal party for ages 12-14). And too be honest, I like this 12 years old boy…I mean he is super cute, funny, got swag, sweet, attractive and adorable!! I know you might think (what the hell, this girl likes a twelvie kid?!) But he is just amazingly good looking twelvie. He has such a great smile, laugh and charm. And he is not those kind of twelvies that aren’t mature yet, but this boy is. He complimented me, smiles at me, looks at me a lot (he got blue eyes…so I find it very attractive!!), he hugged and played truth or dare were he was dared to kiss me on the lips but I had no choice, so we kissed for 5 secs. He was passionate kissing me so I did I. Then he pulled back and said to me, “You’re an amazing kisser.” I got blanked so I just smiled.
For short,
