<p>im a female sophomore and there is a senior guy i REALLY like .. and i think he likes me too, as he sits in back of me in spanish and talks to me a lot. would it be weird for us to date?</p>
<p>Depends. How much in common do you two have? What "level" is he on (I am referring to how much he has dated, whether he was slept around, etc). I dated a junior my soph year, but I was 15 and he was 18. We dated for 8 months, but then we realized that we didn't really have too much in common to have a healthy relationship. The fact that all his friends were older made it harder to hang out...for me, personally, I like my guy to be comfortable with my friends.</p>
<p>You can always try it out, but think it through in terms of friends, whether your relationship will extend until he goes to college, what you two have in common, etc.</p>
<p>I think that it would be a tad weird considering that you will have different groups of friends, and you will be at different places in your life.
BUT :)
Last year when I was a sophomore, one of my fellow soph girls started to date a senior guy. I think that the relationship went well, but then he went off to college, and she has a different boyfriend now. So it most definitely could work. :)</p>
<p>Haha the way you casually say it makes it sound like she went 'oh, well he's gone, but now I'll get a new one!' Like an ice cream cone or something.</p>
<p>:) I didn't mean to make it sound that way....I'm sure it was very hard for her. I sure that they still talk, just not dating because of the distance.</p>
<p>he's leaving in a couple months...</p>
<p>It depends on a lot of factors, including how well you know each other, how much work and effort you're willing to put into a relationship, what his and your friends would say (it does matter), how your schedules would work out (and this includes stuff like ECs), etc.</p>
<p>I'd say that if you both seem interested, though, you should at least talk to him about it.</p>
<p>I don't know why it couldn't work. My parents are 3 years apart and they've been married for 30 years (they started dating in high school...maybe shortly after graduation, I'm not sure). </p>
<p>In fact, it's often easier for girls to date older men because boys mature (mentally/emotionally) slower than girls, so dating an older guy (at least emotionally) for us is really like dating someone the same age. Just be careful...it's very easy (especially in HS) for someone to spread rumors about how "easy" you are for going out with an older guy. High School girls are very catty.</p>
<p>Depends on what you want out of the relationship...
If you're looking for love, then it's probably not a good idea.</p>
<p>This (senior) guy I know is going out with his friend's freshman sister. That's really weird. But no, I think a sophomore/senior relationship could work as long as neither of you is expecting to stay together forever.</p>
<p>It'll work if you guys have alot in common, can get along, are on the same maturity level, and if you realize that after this year, he is gone. </p>
<p>I started dating a junior as a freshman. I am now a junior and he is a senior (yes, he got held back. And he's gonna get held back again for one semester next year) and we worked out fine. We're still going nearly two years later. </p>
<p>Good luck :].</p>
<p>Last year (as a sophomore) I dated a senior, and it worked out terrific. We actually just ended it, mainly because of the distance (he is off at college very, very far away and I won't see him until May), but it was definitely worth it. If this guy is a normal, nice senior then I see no reason not to go for it. His friends will probably be accepting of you, and treat you just like one of them, no big deal. Just as long as you're sure he's not that scuzzy older guy type, because they do exist.</p>
<p>the whole sophomore senior relationship happens alot at my school.. and usually it works out fine.. last year a friend of my was a freshman and dated a really popular senior.. like prom king.. that whole type.. and it worked out amazingly for them until he went to college.. and then they broke up..soo the graduation thing is tough</p>
<p>Done it. He was my best friend before we started dating though.
It didn't last too long, but we didn't lose the friendship.</p>
<p>I dated a guy a year older than me for two years.... and even though we're still very close the age difference is heartbreaking.</p>
<p>I'm not saying don't go for it, just try to stay out of a serious relationship. Wait til college so you aren't miserable when he leaves (take it from me).</p>
<p>It's very distracting!</p>
<p>....and that, folks, is why high school relationships are made of fail.</p>
<p>Back when I was a freshman, a freshman girl in my class was in a pretty serious relationship with a senior.</p>
<p>its high school, dont expecct too much out of it
i went out with a senior when i was a sophomore.. it turned out crappy
but thats just me</p>
<p>Keep your head on straight, and you should be fine. If you like him, one date won't kill you. If it turns into something, it turns into something. It's possible that you'll find you're not compatible after a date, or two. It might be a little weird sometimes, because you're at different places in your life, but I wouldn't worry about it too much. If the age difference or anything else makes you unhappy, you can always end the relationship. </p>
<p>On a personal note, when I first read this post I laughed, a lot. I'm a HS Senior (female) and the guy I'm dating right now is 24, which is a pretty big age difference. Interestingly enough, I met him in my (college) Spanish class. I want to point this out though: I'm not dating him because he's 24, and he's not dating me because I'm 18. I'm dating him because I find him attractive and interesting, and quite different from anyone I've run into in a long time. The age difference isn't what's important for us. It doesn't mean that I'm not aware of it, and it doesn't mean that I'm not careful, but it's not the most important thing. </p>
<p>Hope that helps some.</p>
<p>There have been quite a few senior sophomore couples in my school. They work out for a healthy amount of time, but then there are those that call their relationship illegal, etc. I guess it depends on who the two people are. Personally, I don't think it's any different than 2 people the same age dating.</p>
