So a good freind of mine and I have been getting close lately. We hung out two nights in a row, and talked today. There have been movies and lots of phone calls, and emails and good times at bookstores.
We're still in those preliminary relationship phases where were not really sure how to bring stuff up, and we're not really sure where things are going. But we both know that we really enjoy being around each other, and we're both having a really good time.
There's something thats a little strange about our relationship, and that is that there is about 8 years differance in our ages.... And it wouldnt be such a big deal, except she still has so much to go through in the next few years. College and parties and I would suspect figuring things out about relationships. I would hate to keep her from any of that.
To me she seems very mature (Then again Im not overly adult in mindset). Her parents on the other hand are not willing to trust her yet. They are definately not letting her have any kind of space at all. Her mother especially is very controlling (exactly the opposite of my parents). Ive met them, but they dont know how old I really am. I have a feeling they would have a very large problem with it.
Shes going to go off to college and have all this freedom. I really, really dont want to be clingy and keep her from experiancing that part of life. I got to do it, and it was alot of fun. Lots of learning and growing.
So I dont know where she and I will go... But we've got maybe six months to a year to do it in. Will this relationship kill us both emotionally? Will we regret this later? Who's to say.
But if I werent getting involved I would be sitting around lonely and depressed anyway... So why not have some happines now? Who knows what the future will bring.
