To be slightly related, Dani, you're not like other people. You do what you want to. Or something

I'm pretty sure you're not the first teenager to enjoy the thrill of the chase more than its aftermath, you're just the only one who has admitted it here.

Wow, you got to the final round!? I have never met anyone who's actually gotten that far in any of Seveteen's contests.

You're so cool!

The guy I'm dating is only 1 year older than me. Though I will confess my love for Billie Joe Amstrong, who is 22 years older than me. But I have never met him and probably never will, so that plan will most likely fall through. He is also married and has two kids that are closer to my age than he is.

Sigh, I did. I would have been featured monthly in a huge magazine at 18 years old, quite a way to meet my "get something published" life goal. Oh, how it still hurts.

My two most significant relationships were pretty far apart on the age spectrum, the first was seven years older than I, the latter a year younger. Billie Joe is that old now? I never would have guessed.

That is not exclusive to guys. Whenever I get close to a relationship with a man I suddenly want to quote a lot of Pat Benatar.

Awww, I'm sorry.

I can't really relate because I've never even applied for anything like that. I'm very self concious about anything I write. But I end up sounding like a dorkwad most of the time anyways. (Probably right now too

)

Yes, Billie is 37! It depresses me. He still looks like he's in his 20s. Except when he has stubble/a beard. Then he looks his age.

Well i did say GUYS, not "boys"

You've also got a point.

Kramer on Seinfeld said it best when he described Elaine... "You're a man's woman. You hate other women and other women hate you."

Hmm...I'm thinking at the start:

Hit me with your best shot
Never wanna leave you
I need a lover
Rated X

or perhaps as the relationship falters:

Sex as a weapon
Heartbreaker
Love is a battlefield
I want out

Then comes the regret:

I don't want to be your friend

Gotta love PB

I should clarify-- it's not as much "playing with my food before I eat it" as it is... I donno. I'm just good at finding the balance between interested enough to keep interest but still super hard to get.

Older men aren't generally looking for a long term relationship with a much younger woman... Maybe I'm just cynical?

I'm not looking for a "long term" thing with the older ones-- well, depending on how much older. 25+ are definitely out of that category. Typically, any other "relationships" are still much more than the physical-- I have a lot of very close friendships with the older men of the past. I am aware the the age difference will continue to be a problem for me if I ever do want something more serious, but for now, I would much rather have outstanding conversations and a casual thing with someone significantly older than me.... instead of seriously someone my age and only enjoy the consistency of it, not the person himself.

People never guess I'm seventeen, and I sure don't feel this young. It's an awkward place to be.

Don't be so quick to grow up. You should be enjoying your "childhood."

Have I ever told you that I love you?

Probably.
