Dear PlanetGrrl, Please help me...........

Please help me........... I am really in love with this guy.  We only met last week but wow we are perfect 4 each other....he really likes me too!  And we get along so well and the electricity is there too....it's great but the only problem is our age!  I don't think it's that bad but my parents do!  I'm 15 and a half and he's just turned 19!  My parents have said as long as we're careful and they can trust me it's ok but I know they're really suspicious!!!!  What should I do?  I really think our relationship could last a long time!!
Thanks!
Love Bex

Hey Planetgrrl, I need some help pleez

There's this guy I fully like, the only prob is im 15 and his 21.

We've spoken to each other and get along great, we know the age difference and have spoken about differences between each other like me not being able to drive and go to pubs and that yet. It doesn't seem to bother him tho, his just happy being with me and he can wait till im older. Im not sure if this is going to last, altho i definately want it to. Should I try or not?

Thanx

Luv always

Marina

Dear PlanetGrrl, Please help me

I am 18 and my boyfriend is 28. He is divorced and has two children (a 6-year old and a 4-year old). He picks them up every other weekend. He buys me alcohol so whenever I'm with him I'm usually pretty buzzed. I just recently lost my virginity to him. I'm really worried about this relationship. He talks about me moving in with him. I need help. I'm so confused. Thanks so much for your advice.

Dear Bex,  Marina and Lara

Trust me .. when I say

NO! Whoooooa there grrls

There is a HUGE difference between a bloke of 19 and a gal of 15, gal 18 and man of 28, etc, even given the 'gals mature quicker than boys' thing. There's a huge difference in what these people would expect from a relationship ...

He is a grown man. You are a lot more vulnerable than you'd like to admit to, or even realise. I don't mean to sound patronising, just honest. 

You're obviously a sussed and mature grrl for your age if your parents trust you with this bloke, but I'd really like you to take a bit of advice from the been then done that, got the 'my boyfriends in a band' t-shirt' grrls, there's something a bit suspicious about this bloke, he really shouldn't be dating gals as young as your good self ...

I can understand why you find him attractive, most guys around you at school / out and about will not seem exciting and interesting as this older and experienced bloke who has 'kissed' enough chicks to know how NOT to kiss (unlike blokes your own age, mostly ;) and knows how to flatter you, he seems exciting, sexy, cool, mature. But whoooooas there grrl.

You're last line worries me, at your age Honey you should be out there doing you're thing and not looking to stay with an older man for a long time.

All I can say is be very careful

and never

let him talk you into

anything

you're not really into or ready for. Cos you will regret it if you do. Listen to your inner grrl voice, don't get into a heavy relationship with someone who should really be with someone older than you.

After a week you have no idea if you're perfect for each other because

you don't know him yet, you're not in love, you're in lust ;)

Be careful Bex!

Dear PlanetGrrl,

I'd like to add my advice ... after going through a relationship with a massive age gap (i was 14, he was 19) and coming out on the other side with a smile on my face, i guess i'd like to voice the other opinion. obviously there are some guys out there who are out looking for a younger gal to lead astray or whatever but not all guys are like that! in the end me and my ex split up because we knew that things weren't making us as happy as we had hoped. as long as both people in the relationship are open about their feelings from the start then there shouldn't be a problem. if you really like him, and you think you can trust him... a lot(!!), then make a go of things. but you gotta trust this guy 110% and be strong about what you do and don't want!!
