20/m In Love With 16/f.

I don’t care who thinks this is gross or disgusting, but I’m 20 and in love with a 16 year old. I just turned 20 on the 21st of August ‘09 fyi. Heres my story:

I was living with this girl, her 2 brothers, her mom, and her step dad about a year or 2 ago. They took me in -barely even knowing me- because I didn’t have any place to go (that’s a story within itself). All the while, I would spend a lot of my time with this girl (lets call her Kate) and her brothers (one 18 the other 17). Me and ‘Kate’ started to realize that we had a lot of stuff in common, we started flirting and that lead to sneaking around and kissing and holding hands. We never had sex and I really am not trying to get with her for that. It just felt so right for both of us.

I stayed with her and her family for a good 7 - 8 months until they had to move (2 hours away). Her mom (who was oblivious at the time) loves me to death so she took me up there for a couple weeks. But I couldn’t stay, because that’s only how long the new landlords would allow visitors. On top of that, I knew no one there and all my family was too far away. So I came back to my home town and got my own place.

Over time I realized that being without her is not easy. I never thought I’d miss her this much. But it consumed my every thought and now I’m more than sure I want to leave everything behind. Because I went up there and visited a few weeks before my recent birthday and our connection was still there. We kissed and laughed and cut up. When I left we were both crying pretty heavily cuz we had to be apart again. I just f***ing want her in my life.

I’m not into the whole ‘waiting’ thing and idc about what’s ‘legal’ and morally wrong.. All I care about is my heart and hers.. Legally I can date her, just no sex.. Even though the consent age here in Tennessee is 16 (I’d wait til she was 18 for that part anyways). But I know once people read this they are going to think “oh he just wants a piece of @&!#%$”.. NOT TRUE. I am willing to lose it all for this girl - She’s all I think about. I miss her dearly.

As another human being, what do you think I should do? - cuz I’m not waiting until she’s 18 to hold her in my arms again.. HELP! This entire thing is driving me nuts.. I really AM a good guy and I really AM in love.. And I’d REALLY appreciate some suggestions with a realistic point of view..

And for the nay sayers.. I know for a fact that she’s in love with me and I’m sure that I’m the only guy she’s ever been in love with.. She knows what love is, especially since she struggled every day to be with me and I personally know that she sacrificed ALOT of stuff for me..

If you’re in good standing with her family, Why not tell them about your feelings?

If that’ll cause problems/divisions/etc. then you should do the right thing, I wouldn’t recommend the 2 of you sneaking of to a secret place hiding everything from everyone, because sooner or later that blows up in people faces and then makes this case a worst-case scenario.

If you know what you’re doing is right, then you should stand for what you believe in, my friend.

Just for curiosity’s sake, but why can’t you wait for her? Is your love for her THAT strong?
