this is all a bit too funny ... im 18 and i have a 15 year old girlfriend
i love her and its all great
the only issues are
1) maturity
as mentioned before if shes all giggles and whatever all the ****ing time then its a bit annoying. but if you find a mature girl whose a couple years younger than you... who gives a **** about the difference. also.. in this maturity thingy.... your friends are BOUND to make jokes.... **** ive got the pedo thing from EVERYONE who has found out. from my friends, from teachers, from HER PARENTS, from HER!!! but its all good.... just brush em off... if shes worth it
2) parents
either dont let her parents know or start finding ways to kiss their ass. if a girls parents dont like you... thats NEVER a good thing, especially when if they are a bit younger than you they probably need permission to go out.
3) sex
no sex..... funnily enough this includes anything after masturbating in front of each other. so.... watch out for that. if your 18... you can be prosecuted for having sex (or anything after masturbating in front of each other) and jailed!
4) you moving away
at 18 most people either go to uni or get a job. especially at this time. so.... make the most of it... every couple is facing this crap... but make the most of it... dont look back... and have no regrets... long distance relationships CAN work.... if youre willing to give them a go
my preaching is done
p.s.
i love my girlfriend... the age thing isnt a problem. shes mature, her parents like me (i think) and im gonna have to give the long distance thing a shot...
