Blog: A DAY IN THE LIFE OF THE LITTLE RAINBOW GIRL

< Anniversaries and giving up....\:QAnniversary and whats going on in my life :) >

Age is just a number....? :'( So I'm pretty sure everyone has heard the whole "age is just a number" bullshit. And I really used to believe it until today.

I've been talking to this girl for a little while now. And I started to really like her. Sadly she lives in Massachusetts and I live in Chicago. And I've also had a gf so nothing was happening between me and this girl. So I recently broke up with my gf and she has been helping me through and just making me happy. So I've been falling for her more and more. So everything sounds good and stuff until the age comes in. She's 19. I'm not 19...=/. And well she's been telling me that she likes me too. And I was kinda hoping I would actually have a chance with her. But today we were on the phone and she asked me how old I was. I told her the truth. I'm 14. When I told her that she kinda started to freak out a little. She was like "ohmygosh I can't believe your 14. That's horrible. Excuse me while I go cry." so after she said that I told her I had to go and we hung up. Honestly I really like her and I feel like I ruined any chance of ever being able to go out with her because of my age.

Honestly that whole "age is just a number" thing is bullshit. Age is a very real, very important factor to consider in a relationship. And obviously the relationship I was hoping for with this girl is pretty much nonexistent now because of my age. Fuck.

I don't know what to do anymore. If anyone has been through this and has any advice, that would be greatly appreciated. I just need help/a way to cope. Thanks :/

First you need to give her time, she really needs time to muddle through this, I'm in the same situation with a different age gap, but what she needs now is to let it settle in, keep talking to her like hows her days, how does she feel so on. Then once she has time to cope and make her way through it ask how she feels how about, and then just keep everything friendly, I know it's hard but, if you really love her and she is willing to wait for you just play along. I know it's a long way to that stage where you're legal, I'm 14 too and Zeus knows how much I hate waiting. But right now all she needs is time to absorb it. I hope that helped you atleast a little bit

If I had a penny every time I thought of you, I'd be a millionaire.

My imaginary friend thinks you have some serious problems.

Five years difference really isn't that big a deal in the long-term, it's actually pretty common to have age gaps regardless of sexuality...I know a happy established hetero couple with 4 kids who are actually 15 years apart in age...the older you get, the less significant differences in age become.

When you are only 14 though, it might be a little weird still... and it would be kinda illegal for her to do anything of a sexual nature with you...the age of consent is 16 in Massachusetts, 17 in Illinois...but there's no reason you two can't be internet friends in the meantime if you and her can both accept waiting.
