Q - Dear Annabelle,
I'm in love with a guy that's 20 years older than me. We play sports together and he seems to find me cool, cause he is always smiling, talking to me and touches me in a friendly way. I really love him, but i know i can't have a relationship with him cause he is too old, but I can't love anybody else cause he is the one I dream about and think about all day long. Please help me. I would like to know what I should do

A - Dear Cindy,

The fellow is 125% older than you and youâre asking me what you SHOULD do? Iâll BET Îhe touches you in a friendly wayâ! I sort of hate to ask how old your dad is, but what you have here is not good for you.....it may be good for him, but you have, not only an untenable situation, you have the makings of a very bad one. I know this is not what you want to hear, but you should know that any guy his age who would find a girl your age more than mildly interesting does NOT have YOUR best interests in mind! Realize your romantic daydreams are just that, romantic daydreams. Donât put yourself in the way of serious harm.
