I need advice, is this bad?

I met a guy at a friends family party, and I got his email address and number, we started talking over msn, then over text, and hes really nice!


We have been talking for about 4 months, getting to know each other more and he recently started flirting abit and has told me he likes me.


Problem is, hes 7 years older than me and lives miles away.


I'm 16 and hes 23.


Is the age difference bad?





My parents have like 16 years between them, and noone ever sees it as being bad when your older, but at my age, why does everyone make out that its such a big deal?I need advice, is this bad?
Maybe they make it out to be a bad deal cuz they will say all he want from you is nothin but sex but follow your heart we all make mistakes and we all learn from them. Take a chance and take it slow it might leave up to happiness or it might not.I need advice, is this bad?
i did that at your age to


it may sound great and I know you dont want to hear this but he is physically attracted to you, not emotionally


if you give him what he wants he ill be out of your life quickly after that


he'll eat you up and spit you out


please be mature about this and take care of yourself


best wishes
Because the your two ages mean an enormous difference in maturity. When you're older the maturity difference decreases. True girls mature faster, but 23 and 16.... I would say if you both still like eachother in two years maybe give it a go. Don't you wonder why he can't get a girlfriend his own age?
its because something bad always happens...


no saying that could happen with you


but it might seem unfair that your parents are together


and there's 16 years between them...


but you have to think times have change people have change


that's why people find the age difference bad
he can go to jail if he keeps talking to you or trys anything with you and he knows that you need to stop talking with this guy because if he is telling you he likes you then he is into little girls and he is a sick man.
how many miles away.


Long distance relationships rarely work


especially your age.





if your talking less than 30 miles


than he should have a car.


Other than the fact that it's illegal in some states


theres nothing wrong with the age difference
That's creepy and illegal.





There's a big difference between 16-23 and 46-53.





He's a creeper and you're jailbait.
bad, he should know better, when you are his age and you are not so overawed but his flattery then may be , but it sounds a bit like grooming, don't do it.
well idk maybe cause its just a little illegal. but i feel ya ive had a thing for someone five years older um the best thing i can tell you to do is be careful you never know if his intentions are true.
Everyone makes it out to be a big deal cause he could be trying to use you. Just saying he likes you so he can screw you....
Because you are legally under age, that is why and this guy can get into big trouble.
It is a big deal when your 16. Very big. When you are 18, it won't be.
i personally dont think that age matters but it depends on your parents view. my aunt and uncle have 10 years beteen them so i dont think its so bad.
No, age doesn't really matter and 6 years isn't a huge difference.
its your decision and i am sure your parents will understand
bad karma girl, don't go there.
no
1. If you have reached the legal age of consent, it has only been quite recently. You are still close enough to being jail bait to make most guys wary.





2. There is a substantial level of difference in experience and sophistication between the two of you at this age. When he is 32 and you are 25, nobody will complain. Now, it's like, he can buy alcohol, and you can't, and that raises questions about whether his real intention is to get you drunk and do the horizontal bop.





3. What kind of 23 year-old guy is so immature that he hangs out with high school juniors? When he graduated [he did graduate, didn't he?] you were in fifth grade. Does that clarify things for you?
