My boss and I like each other.

My boss is 24 and I'm 17. There's a 7 year age difference. I've liked him since day one and we've always been flirty. I just recently started talking to him via email and he asked for my cell phone number. Since then, he's texted me every night. I've never once been the one to email him first or text him first because that's just the type of girl I am. We talked tonight and we basically told each other that we like each other a little and he admitted that he thinks I'm very attractive. We also talked about having sex which would be illegal and wrong on so many levels. I can tell that he wants more than just sex. He always talks about how much he wants to get to know me and how special I am to him. I'll be going back to high school fo rmy senior year at the end of this month, and he's going back to college as well in september.

Can a relationship like this work out? I'm crazy about him.

Theres not that much age diff, and it can work out , but let the love grow . and get the year in high school over with before taking this to the next level. you have lots of time. and after you turn 18 , then you will have your own choices to make, if he loves you then he will wait on you. please dont have sex before you get married. he might not be the one. and you dont want to be used . hope this helps

From a legal perspective, if the two of you do have sex, in some states that can be considered statutory rape and treated has having sex with someone underage. So from that perspective alone, he should not want to be that willing to have sex with you. He can be listed as a sex offender for the rest of his life.

From more of a philosphical perspective, what's the rush? While I don't think you need or should wait until you are married, you'e only 17. Take your time. Also, you'll find yourself in lots of situations over the next few years which seem right. Sadly, they are not always. And while 17 and 24 might not seem like a big difference, they are at this age. When you hit your mid 30s, that's when a few years doesn't make much sense. Men (being one) mature a lot betwen 21 and 30 so wait it out a bit. Word of warning, they don't all mature.

If you get together you both have a lot to lose.

Just a hunch but he's probably just looking for sex, that's it. So be careful about getting yourself hurt. Once he's off to college he might not be as interested in you after he's gone a while.

If his feelings are genuine he will keep on pursuing you long after your 18. Besides, if you get together, there's a reasonable chance someone at work would find out, and you might lose your job. I'd stay friends for now but that would be about it.

Nope, ain't gonna work (just my personal opinion). It may work out now while you two have a lot of free time but when you start your normal high school life & he starts his regular college life again, you may find that you two don't click like you used to or that you don't have time for each other anymore. Just take things slow for right now and wake until you turn 18 to start anything serious. Its less complicated that way.

Well...it could. There's a possibility of ffty fifty. So your still in high shool? You should probably plan sex until you get out of college, your parents wouldn't be very happy about it. If you have sex in high school you may not be able to finish it. Of course you guys would be great but you should wait until your both out of college.
