i don't think i could have put this any better myself. Dani, I feel the exact same way. It's like you're a 24+ year old in a 17 year oldsters body, and it's the truth that nobody your own age can appreciate it.

At least you've been able to get to somewhat excercise your liking of older men. I tried to get a 19 year old, and he thought I was too young for him. Then I just had a 19 year old pokemanz lover call me immature...that I laughed about.

I, however have mixed feelings about the casual and long term thing. I wouldn't mind being in a casual relationship that I know isn't going to last - I hate when teenagers think that their relationship will last '4evrrrrr'. It's like...get real. But I prefer, and would rather a long term. But you can't really expect it. Especially your senior year of high school, when you're probably going 2.5 hrs away to college (hello beautiful Hamden, CT).

I'm just most dissaponted that I'm probably going to go to prom stag again this year, or going with a friend...either a girl or a guy as I view like a little brother...I would have liked to have a legit date to appreciate my dreamdress. (it's not til May, but I don't get out much lol). I'm not taking back what I said before, but sometimes i feel abnormal as I'm the only 17 year old I know that hasn't had a relationship...be it short or long term....the only thing tha relatively makes me feel better is that I'm in the top 12% of my class
