I had a boyfriend when I was thirteen. He was kind of my first one. First official one anyway. He was 16. And not only was there an age difference, there was a religion difference, and his mom would not let us date and after awhile she forbade him to even see me. We snuck around for about a year and a half (it was easy because he lived on my street). Finally his church found out about everything (one of his closest friend's had spilled the beans) and he got kicked out of the church band. It got so bad he eventually just cracked and broke up with me. I was devastated. But I hadn't realized how bad the relationship was hurting me while I was in it...Sneaking around wears you out. I do not recommend it.  And there's a little bit of my dramatic past for you all. ;D The extremely condensed version of it. |

I'm actually glad someone made a thread like this, because I was just about to start my own for some personal advice/comments/etc. Last Saturday I met a guy at the mall. He works at this store my other friend works at, but the sad thing is that lately I've only been visitting to see him, and not my other friend. He's a huge flirt, but is also quite chivalrous, charming, humorous, intelligent, easily amused, lol . . . all them attractive qualities. ^^ And yesterday, I admitted to liking him, and he did the same to me. I haven't spoken to him since (I miss him to death already), but I hope to see him next time he's working. That means tomorrow (doubtable since I have a choir concert in school to perform in), Friday, and/or Saturday and Sunday which is when I always see him. (Off topic: He may be quitting soon! Eek! Good thing I have his phone number. ^^) Problem is though, this is my first secret "relationship" ever. I firmly believe that at my age (17, 18 on December 1) romance is not a necessity - Maybe once college rolls around I can begin straying out, but I don't go fishing for a boyfriend, you know? I have great self discipline, and when I look for a relationship, I don't look for the hottest guy out there, or whoever has the most money or something. I want potential to grow. Anyway, I stray off topic . . . This is a secret I've kept from my parents (who are usually amazingly tolerant compared to other parents) because the guy I'm crushing hard on right now is 25 years old.  That's about a seven year age difference. But the funny thing is, my friends don't care. They say that I'm a lot more trustworthy than the other unflattering teenage girls, and that I'm not going to be dumb and let temptation get to me - Totally true, if I do say so myself.  Plus I find that I'm tons more adult-like than others my age, so that's a plus. I adore this guy, I'm totally infatuated. He's perfect for me from that I can see - He's a swordfighter, he's got that sense of mature immaturity (you know - Silly humor and ADD type qualities, but at the same time, he's an adult, ya?), he's girl savvy and knows how to make me feel totally special . . . and he's British! (lol, Just thought I'd throw that in. ^^ It's quite sexy when he accidently lets his accent roll out.) . . . Well, I've blathered on enough. ^^ |

I have a boyfriend. ;D I like him but I know its justtt a fling. or like, i don't really consider him my BOYFRIEND. i just consider him my special friend. I just want to get to know him more, be more his really close friend. but i like him and he likes me so he asked me out. hes really hot too so uh, how could i deny?
I'm glad i have a boyfriend. I'll talk to my friends and i can't remember who said it but BOYS ARE THE BIGGEST DRAMA CAUSER EVER!!!!! ok, first you have the whole "does he like me?" thing which can be quite upseting or just confusing. then when he likes your friend... and you know. i had that happen to me last year. it was hell. then theres the whole like rumors between your frineds "well i heard he likes you..." and blah blah blah.
I was talking to my friend yesterday and I came to the conclusion that I'm really lucky to have a boyfriend. because so much of the sh*t my friends go through is caused by boys. its so sad too. because shes liked him forever and now there not even friends because of stupid other people.
*sigh* boys...
oh and i'm thirteen. but ill be fourteen in *counts on fingers...* 8 DAYS!!!! but girls mature faster then boys anyways....

BRITISH! *pounces on Latikono* Well aren't you lucky? A Brit too... wow... ^^ Go get him tiger. If it's love, it's love...don't deny your heart sweetie. AH!!!! With the whole liking thing. Remember how I said I was dating Evy-chan? Well...kinda... cause he's Maryland, and I's in Michigan. I's also dating Kyo-chan and I told Evy-chan that I couldn't be with him and Kyo at the same time, but we still treat each other the same, say "I love you" before we hang up and everything. NOT THE POINT! There's this Junior at my school (I's a senior by the way ^^ WHOO!!! CLASS OF 2006 BABY!) and he's totally hot and I'm absolutly in love with this kid. PROBLEM! My best friend likes him and just yesterday gave him a note that said so. This kid is my drinking and smoking buddy and I dunno what to do! I can't see them together, she's my best friend so I don't want to upset her, and I'm with two other guys and I don't want to upset THEM because I love them too. Conclusion: I hate love. -Yosho-chan |

I'm thirteen (even though my profile says I'm like 18 or something) I don't think that it's that young I mean, don't wait for 'Prince Charming' but don't go with any guy.

I am exactly that way - I like being single, I hate most of the boys at my school, and I find that a lot of the guys my age aren't even intelligent enough to keep up with me. . . . But once I met that 25-year-old British guy a week and a half ago, I haven't been able to get him out of my mind since and I miss him to death whenever I'm not with him. -_- I used to be one of you, then I found love, er something. Ahh! *cries* |

The only time I was in love was with my best friend of the time, and I already knew him very well and such, but I had just somehow grown the feelings over time. I actually just recently gotten over him, like two weeks before meeting this British guy. And . . . ya, sucks for you about all the stoof. But take it from me, a girl who thought she'd be alone all her life: Eventually, that special someone may just come around when you least expect it, and this time, you'll like each other and he'll be perfect. . . . That's at least how I feel. My friends even said so, that he seemed too perfect for me that it's unreal. And goodness gracious, I hope I'm able to hold onto him and nothing too dramatic happens. |

When I first met my husband, we kept it secret from my family. I met him online and he lived 9000 miles away, so I didn't think anyone would understand. Even my friends thought I was crazy. I did end up telling my ma about 3 years into our well 'relationship' that he had asked me to marry him, she got very upset because of the country he's from...she thought he was trying to use me to get a visa to Canada. We had a really rough time because although his entire family supported him, my family absolutely forbade me to go further with the relationship. I love my family and value their opinions, but eventually I realized I had to listen to my heart, so I packed up, booked a ticket and went to marry him. My sister tried to stop me, called the police and everything, although I was 25 so there wasn't much they could do but warn me that the country is dangerous (which it really wasn't at that time - Lebanon). Now, when I left, I told them I was going to visit him only, they didn't know I planned to marry him. I have to say about the whole experience that's the only thing I truly regret. I wish I had told my ma I was going to marry him because she's done some pretty crazy things in her life too and I think she would have understood if I had had a really honest heart-to-heart talk with her. Needless to say, it's been 4 years now that we've been married (8 years together) and I couldn't be happier. How can I not love a man that's got a book of poetry written for me in two languages? I lived in his country for 2 years before we could come back to Canada and it was a huge eye opening experience (about how lucky I am to be in this country) and a blast. Oh, and my family absolutely loves him and we're planning a renewal of our vows so my ma can get to see my wedding (not quite the same - we were married in an Armenian monastary - wore crowns on our head, cut the cake with a sword, the whole church decorated in gold and plush red velvet and only about 50 people there - the pictures and video were great though). I really wouldn't condone keeping a relationship a secret because as someone said, it is really hard work and truthfully, you're kind of betraying your family. On the other hand, sometimes they're so worried for your well being that they can't see how important it is for you. I'd just say, be careful and well it's good to keep a level head about it, but in the end....follow your heart, you never know where it might lead you.  |

*sigh* Well guys, good news-bad news time.
Good News: Devin (my guy friend) doesn't like Meggan (my chick friend)
Bad News: I think he's interested in me, but I'm not sure. I'm not even sure like interested interested, or just "Yosho, you're a real great person" interesting.
Last Friday we hung with our friend Amanda. Talked about a lot of stuff (the tree of us) including personal stuff (I had brough my Truth or Dare Cards ^^). I got upset half way through the night because being around him made me nervous.
Well he asked what was wrong and I told him half the truth. I said "Well i don't know anyone here except you and Amanda, i can't remember names and it's just one of those weeks you get my drift?" He laughed and nodded, pointed out people and said their names again. Then he's like "Hannah... what is it?" I refused to tell him and he's like "Okay, fine, you'll tell me sooner or later." I wanted to tell him today, but apperently he didn't get back from Ohio yet. So we went to the bar and on the way home Amanda fell asleep on me, so I put my arm around her, and my hand ended up on Devin's shoulder and I do this thing when I'm bored and I have my arm around someone and my hand is one someone's shoulder (yeah, suprisingly, it DOES happen a lot), so I was like rubbing his shoulder with my thumb and he didn't say anything. He like looked at me once cause I said something and my thumb accidentally brushed his chin and he laughed. I don't know what to do. He just found out Meggan likes him and if I tell him my problem is I like him but I'm already in a relationship I'm not sure how he'll deal with it. He's a nice guy, so he'll take it and deal with it well, but I don't want him to think I'm a freak.
HELP! *cries*

I'm still having lots of fun now that I'm in college but high school was awesome.
That's about a seven year age difference.
Plus I find that I'm tons more adult-like than others my age, so that's a plus. I adore this guy, I'm totally infatuated. He's perfect for me from that I can see - He's a swordfighter, he's got that sense of mature immaturity (you know - Silly humor and ADD type qualities, but at the same time, he's an adult, ya?), he's girl savvy and knows how to make me feel totally special . . . and he's British! (lol, Just thought I'd throw that in. ^^ It's quite sexy when he accidently lets his accent roll out.)
