You are going through a rough time right now. I think I would stop seeing the guy and wait for someone that is better for you.

If you have a gut feeling that you will lose everything, you better pay attention. Those feelings are usually right on.

Hi there,
Welcome to MB. We love your mom here on MB.

As a mom of a teens, I would tell you 19 is pretty young to be having such a serious boyfriend.

As a woman who got married when she was 18, I would still say that is pretty young to be thinking about such a serious boyfriend.

Let me also say, that a 9 year difference in ages is an awful lot at this age. It makes no sense but in 20 years the difference is not as much. You two are in different places completely.

This is just my opinon, but I think that maybe you ought to drop the boyfriend and work on you for a bit. Make you your priority. Are you in college? Trade school? Maybe focus on making yourself into the best young woman you can be.

Later, when you have yourself together you can start dating someone else.

I hope the best for you.

I agree. Go with your gut feeling.
And you're 19. TRUST ME, there is plenty of time for guys. Have fun now. You have a lot of healing of your own to do.

Honey, something is not right if he is buying you expensive gifts like that. You just call and say "I can no longer see you." He is an adult, he can deal with it.

hurtin, he is a grown man and will be able to handle it. He shouldn't be dating a 19 year old anyway. Agree with moveforward, make you your priority and focus on your future.

Right now is a key crossroads in your life and a serious relationship, that probably won't work out, is just a diversion. Work hard now and the benefits will be great. Take care, young lady. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

good girl! Guys that old who date teenagers and promise big presents are just trying to get laid. He can't get a woman his own age, so he goes after you younger girls. Give him the boot and tell him this booty call isn't available!

Just say: "I am sorry but I can't see you anymore. You are way too old for me."

That will work just fine and sounds like an excellent idea.

Agree with MelodyLane - you aren't a Ho so don't act like one. He wants to screw you and is offering inducements to do so.
