when we first met i was 16 going 17 and he was 24 going 25. we got along really well and there was nothing sexual going on at all, fyi. we had clear boundaries. we shared soo many interests and had the same values, and honestly ive never felt more understood in my entire life.
im not going to lie here, ive had feelings for him since i was 17, but i knew it was wrong so i bottled it all up. another thing i feel like i should mention is the fact that my father has never really been in the picture so i have father issues aswell. im 19 now and those feelings have never faded. hes been giving me signs that he feels the same, but im really not sure if it would be toxic or not. would it be okay to pursue a romantic relationship with him?
