Anon please or delete since there are people I know on here...
I'm 17 and have recently met a guy who is 26. We've chatted a few times and get on so so well - he's so polite and lovely and funny and we have so much in common.
There have been people who have said that we'd make a good couple and sometimes I get the feeling that he likes me too...but am too unsure whether he'd be interested in someone as young as me, and also he's just generally lovely to everyone so I doubt myself. For the record, when we first met, he though I was a lot older (20s) and he only realised when I told him and seemed really surprised. I've always been mature for my age and other guys my age holds no attraction for me. This is the first time I've ever felt anything this deeply for anyone.
Is there anyone here who is in a relationship with a noticeable age gap? How did you get together? What should I do - give it up or keep hoping?
