Today, I found out that the guy I've been crushing on for months is actually 15 years old. I'm 22. Not only is it gross, but it's also illegal. FML

Age is just a number and jail is just a room.

I remember being in 8th grade and there were 6ft tall students with full beards. sometimes people bloom early, just move on OP. plenty more dudes out there.

Funny thing is those 7 years between you too is also the number of years between my mom and dad (still together after 24 years :D). If you really like him and he's matures through the years, just wait for him to be legal.

Age of consent is 16 in Australia or not? So it's not like OP has to wait 3 years...the guy's birthday might be even next week.

I love the double standard hear. If the genders were reversed the comments would be totally different. Y'all giving her tips and advice. I'm going to call her a pedophile.

You can also call her a unicorn, doesn't mean that you are right.

You're a pedophile. Before you downvote me ask yourself this: "If the OP was a guy would I be saying the same thing?"

Don't worry op, in Germany the legal age is 14 and France, Spain, and Italy 15. There's nothing to feel guilty about, the US just has more conservative laws.

OP is from Australia. And it's a very slippery slope to use legality as a basis for morality considering how there are many horrible things that are legal in different countries...

thats not so bad, you know now, just don't act on it. who knows, maybe when hes older you might reconnect . i mean i met my partner of 3 years when i was 18, barely interacted till i was 20, then i took the plunge, she is 10 years older than me.

I'm curious to know how you met him to have liked him for months without knowing his age. Not passing judgement...plenty of teenagers look much older nowadays.

I remember I had the same problem once, same ages too. Don't feel too bad. We can't help who we like! Just don't act on it. :)
