The general rule of thumb is 1 year up or 1 year down if you are under 18. There is a vast difference when there is two or more years between people who are interested in dating each other. Legally, that is also the criteria. Once you reach 18, you will need to talk to someone about the legal ramifications of dating someone younger than you. In my state, the age of consent is 17 so, for an 18 year old, that would be appropriate. But still, dating a 16 year old or younger would not be. And then, besides what's legally appropriate, there's also what's socially appropriate. But I prefer to abide by the legal definition. After 18, the choice is yours, upwardly speaking.
not really.. i mean its a little weird comparing it to a younger age because the difference between 5-6th grade and 7-8th grade can feel pretty big, but if you think about it like this, a 23 year old woman liking a 21 year old man isnt weird at all. So, nah its not weird at all hunny!!
Wrong no. I mean kids have celebrity crushes on celebrities much older. We like who we like. But at that age, it really should just stay a crush and shouldn't progress to something like a relationship.
Hi.There's not much wrong about that,but you my just want to wait for like 2 years until your both are kind of mature enough mentally to take on a relationship.Hope this helps!
Liking is no problem....make sure he treats you right as a friend, listens to you (doesn't ignore) and has good character..like..no adult stuff..your future awaits
I don't necessarily think that it is wrong, but I do personally find it a little strange given the fact that eleven-year old boys are generally really immature.
Yeah depends on the maturity level of the 11 year old that the 13 year old can accept.
Its puppy love, nothing wrong with crushing on someone couple of years younger.
You should wait a little while, theyre obviously at that ugly stage.
Not really, just be truthfully communicatively with one another.
NO its not, imagine you being 20 when he turns 18. its legal
Not wrong, be safe if you pursue a relationship!
not. really my gf is older than me so its fine
