Age Gap Issues

Kiannah

So I’m currently 16 and I’ve been talking to this guy who goes to my dance class who’s 18. We’ve been talking for a while and I see him every week at my dance class and we’ve realised we like each other.

Thing is though, I haven’t hung with him outside of dance and I really wanna meet up but all my friends think it’s a stupid idea incase something bad happens. I totally understand that but he’s grown up knowing one of my friends and she’s like his little sister so I assume it’s safe?

And then there’s the thing of how I’m still a minor and he’s an adult... but absolutely nothing physical would happen between us, just hanging out.

I know it’s stupid but I really like him. My friends got to my head though so idk what I’m meant to do...
