Your age divided by 2 and then plus 7...hermz...so that means, if you're 60, then you can date a 37 yr-old?! lol - but yeah, it works, but mostly only if the male's the older one lol.
I think you should be innocent for coupla years!...but I do support it!
My cradle-snatcher (not quite) experiences:
1. Back in year 6, I liked a guy in year 4, he played the leading pirate in a play;
2. In year 10, I dated a year 9 guy for a while;
3. At the end of year 11, I started liking this year 9 guy - I still think he's hot;
4. The same year, I liked my first ex's friend's brother, who was also in year 9 and kissed him on a dare on my first and last music tour, while liking his brother lol.
lol, I'm not exactly innocent, but I've had fun. I usually just like them, knowing that it'd not work out.
I know this guy who's been having this massive crush on me since I was in year 11...and he was in year 7 at the time! 3 and half years younger than me...
I don't feel anything for him, but I'm glad that you do. It might just work 'cos you're neighbours and friends. It wouldn't be a prob at all in a coupla years! Just continue hanging out for now.
*raises glasses* to love!
