Dear Dee:
I am 17 and the boy I like is 14. I know he likes me back.
His parents don't want him being around a 17-year-old, and I don't think there's any way to get around that. But the problem is, he's been ignoring me a lot these past few weeks and it's really starting to hurt.
I try to talk to him and he either doesn't answer me or just walks away. I don't know why he's doing this. I'm trying to be his friend and get closer to him, so maybe his parents will trust me or something, but he keeps pushing me further and further away. What should I do?
I know it's hard, but you really are too old for this guy. I understand how it hurts you to have me say that, but it is true.
You're at an age where legal adulthood is literally right around the corner. He's still worrying about the transition from junior high to high school. And it won't be long until your having a relationship with him would be illegal and inappropriate.
Give it a few years. Let him grow up, let your world view expand and then see where it stands. The best thing you can do is honor what his parents have requested and leave him alone, however painful it may be. Let him grow up a little bit. His parents will respect you for that and it'll allow him to clear his head.
He's 14, I'm 17 ...

I can relate it to my classmate who's boyfriend is just a 14-year old or 13? I'm not pretty sure but her bf is really younger than her. My classmate is 20-years old so there's really a big difference. Their relationship didn't last longer because of some childish reasons.
My point here is that you don't need to rush things, so when it comes to love you have to choose someone I guess older than you because matured guy is much better than younger.
Yeah I'm 17 and he's 13 (grade 12 & 8) but he's been doing all the flirting and suggesting stuff, not me. I rally like him, and he's different than all the guys I've ever come across. I met him through a church retreat two weeks ago, and have been talking yo him every day. My friends tell me he likes me and is just waiting to ask me out in person. He wants to meet up with me this friday, we're gonna watch a horror movie. I'm not gonna make any moves on him unless he initiates. Tbh he's more mature than me and he looks older than me cause I always look 14. Age really shouldnt matter. Last year, my friend she was 14 & dating a 20 year old, my other friend was 12 and dating a 17 year old and then was 13 dating a 19 year old. The connection between two individuals and consent should be all that matters. Btw I've never dated anyone before, so if this guy asks me out, it will br so special to me, and I wont know hoe to act as a girlfriend. But whatever, I always like guys im close friends with. Thanks for listening
