Alright, forget it. I told myself I'd never make another YAGT, and now I remember why. Thanks for those who gave honest opinions, and didn't take it as an opportunity to judge me.

EDIT: Ok guys, I'm sorry. You guys are absolutely right, I asked for opinions and then exploded when you told me what I didn't want to hear. As I've mentioned to luvly, I think my frustration came mostly from being angry with myself for posting such a stupid question.

My apologies, and thank you to everyone for your responses and opinions. Again, as I told luvly, I really don't whine this much in real life, honestly. :) Hope we can just forgive and forget all the stupid sh!t I've said.

man...the atot crowd keeps getting younger....

about the age difference...who cares...if you like her and she likes you then just go for it.

remember the golden rule: When in doubt, whip it out

No 14 yo has any idea what they want or should do in a relationship.

for that matter no 17 yo does either.

this post serves as demonstration of these facts.

Well we have all seen the senior boys date the hot freshman girl; because senior boys are soo cool. But I think it is the girl who always ends up getting hurt because believe it or not you guys are at a very different stage at your life. You will be graduating and than you are gone...starting a new life and most likely won't want to deal with a sophomore in high school. This is not a steadfast rule; because in a couple of years that age difference is going to mean nothing. So when it comes down to it; you gotta use your best judgement. IF she is mature for her age; why not? If she is not; it is going to annoy the hell out of you soon.

well, as I said before, when I met my gf, I was 17 and she was 14, just about to turn 15. I'm 19 now and she's 16. We've together for fourteen months now. I agree that most 14 year olds and most 17 year olds don't know what theyw ant, but if she seems mature enough and you think you have something, I'd say go for it. If you do stay together, in a few years, the age difference won't seem that great.

So that means no high schoolers should ever date or go out and have fun and (gasp) start learning what they look for in the opposite sex?

I think he meant that by asking the question, you showed that you arent ready to make the mature decisions that you have to make in a relationship.

Oh give me a break. I'm just thinking out loud here, wondering what y'all think. I've been in relationships before. I've made desicions before. People chastisse me for asking their opinion, makes no sense. If I were to just go up and ask my buddy this question, he wouldn't look at me strange. People ask opinions, doesn't mean they can't think for themselves.

You asked for an opinion, and you got one. Don't complain because you don't like the answer, you can choose to ignore what was said.

I didn't ask "do you think I'm ready for a relationship? Do you think I'm ready to make mature desicions?" That wasn't the question, because to answer that you would have to know me, which no one here does. People like to assume they do, however.
 

JohnJohn320, I think you're a gifted and intelligent guy. However when it comes to matters of the emotion, you seem to have no control. You whine so much! You started a thread asking for opinions. You may not like the opinions expressed, but take them like a man. You are no longer a baby. You are about to start college. Your mental and emotional response needs to mature. To people, there was something more visible than whether or not to date a 14 year old. To them you lacked in maturity with the fact that you posed that question. If you disagree with the view, fine. But why whine and remove the original message rather than take the advice in stride? The fact that you reacted the way you did further proves the point of the other posters. If you aren't even mature enough to relate with people generally, how could you be mature for a relationship? Hopefully some day you'll finally learn to balance your emotions with your intelligence. I would hate to believe the stereotypes about people with high IQs. :)
