Ok so here is my friend Josh. And he is only a friend. He's 18. I grew up with his family but of course he was very young. His older brother and I who is 25 now, I'm 23, and I dated when I was 16. By dated I mean that we hung out all the time... kissed twice and went to his prom together. then it stopped and he married this hoe that i absolutely hated .. she hated me too. anyway josh his little brother now lives about 2.5 hrs away from me in springfield. we grew up together in fort worth. so we've been talking lately... found each other on myspace. ... are becoming friends and we are gonna hang out in a couple weeks. then i wont see him again til august bc he's going home to CO where his family is moving in may. so thats that... 18 years old. almost 19 but ill turn 24 3 months after he turns 19. a little young... although my girlfriend just got married to a 19 yr old and shes 25. it was crazy to me since shes got a masters in something or other but they seem to fit well. good luck to em.
