<p>Ok so I’m a high school senior boy. There’s a freshman girl that I think likes me. A lot of people say that she likes me too. I think she’s really pretty, she has an amazing personality, and is also really smart. We also have the same interest’s, science (were not nerds lol) Were in a science research class together, are both in science olympiad, members of the science bowl team, and we got picked along with 4 other kids to research another project and then present it at a statewide conference that’s upstate for a weekend in march. (In new york) I could probaly pass for a well dressed mature sophmore (I think I dresser nicer than the underclassmen, I’ve actually heard people thinking of nominating me for Best Dresses, I’m a senior so I’m obviously more mature, and I’m kinda short for my age) So is it ok for a freshie and senior too like each other?? What about going out? I’m 17 and she’s 14. I’m not looking to just have sex with her… she really is an amazing person. Parents could I get your opinions??</p>
<p>Right now, the difference in age is too much. She’s only 14 years old. Keep it at the friendship level.</p>
<p>In a few years, the 3 year difference in age won’t matter. For the moment, she’s too young.</p>
<p>

<p>Gender reassignment going better than expected?</p>
<p>good catch Sylvan.</p>
<p>Ok… I’m the freshman girl, I just didn’t want to admit it</p>
<p>In your other posts, you say that you are a senior and a girl.</p>
<p>Changing your screen name might have helped the illusion. </p>
<p>OK, you want to know if it’s ok for a HS senior and a freshman to like each other. Sure, it’s ok. But there is a lot of growth and developing as a person that goes on between the ages of 14 and 20. The 14 year old has just started, while the 17 year old is halfway there.</p>
<p>IMHO, a 2 year gap is the limit in hs. Frosh-Junior is as far as I’d stretch it. My husband is even more restrictive, he wouldn’t have allowed our daughter to date anyone more than one year older than her (or our son, for that matter).</p>
<p>That opinion holds whether Jessica17 is a boy, girl, freshman or senior.</p>
<p>And this query is posted on a college advice message board…why???</p>
<p>In retrospect, your post does read like what a GIRL would say, not a boy (unless he was lying :)).</p>
<p>When D2 was a sophomore, a senior really liked her. They were only 1 year apart age wise. I was ok with it because D2 is quite mature. But the boy’s parents said no, and I respect them for it. It took D2 quite a while to get over it. </p>
<p>No, I don’t think senior and freshman relationship would fly in our house, especially with H.</p>
<p>My D dated a senior for the last few months of her freshman year and I was fine with it. They both took it lightly and knew that after he left for school in another country there were no obligations. I think it totally depends on the kids involved and their nature, maturity and sensitivity.</p>
<p>My recently graduated ds thinks cross-class dating is skeevy. Senior-freshman would be a no-go at our house. And this goes for the possibility that you’re a senior girl and you’re interested in a freshman boy – emphasis on the word boy.</p>
<p>any other opinions…</p>
<p>My 14 Boy was dating a girl exactly 2 years older. It lasted for much longer than I expected (10 or 11 months), but she eventually dumped him because frankly He IS A BOY – His maturity level is just not there yet.</p>
<p>my opinion-</p>
<p>Be honest with who you are and post dating q’s in the HS life section.</p>
<p>** And move this out of the “forum” and into the cafe</p>
<p>Work on your spelling.</p>
<p>DK who that was directed at atomom. You talking about typos ?? Fixed my typo (thanks), but see several in the OP’s post, if thats what you were referring to, lol.</p>
<p>You talking to the OP (re: spelling)?? All kidding aside, IMO honesty is way more important than typographical accuracy. She should work on honesty.</p>
<p>I am several years older than my DH. Age is not relevant. HOWEVER, I met him when we were much older than the OP.</p>
<p>I agree with the ones that say that as time goes on age becomes less relevant. A 16 year old and a 12 year old = creepy in my eyes, but a 36 year old and a 32 year old just isn’t.</p>
<p>Agreed, gardna. DH and I joke that I was graduating college when he was graduating HS. That would have been seriously creepy.</p>
