BOYS

Ok so I feel I should get this out there, relieve my mind a little

BOYS

I have a guy friend that I have been spending a lot of time with recently. He is about 7 years younger than I and when you are only 25 this is a bit of an age gap (kind of like when you're at school and someone is in the year below/above, that year makes a BIG difference)

He is adorable, totally sweet and well yeah he is attractive.

But I'm not interested, it comes down to age I think, or maybe because he is too nice.

I don't want to date a boy, I want to date a man... maybe that's why I'm so obsessed with all these old movies the gender relations are so much simpler.

Well anyway, people have begun to tease, friends, parents. Even my Step Grandmother suggested I take him as my toyboy!

I'm trying to forget it, and carry on as normal, but they've started this niggling in my brain.

a) May I inadvertently be hurting him / leading him on?

b) Is there something wrong with me and should I be liking him?

c) Is it actually possible to be friends with a boy?
