I really need prayers and advice about a relationship issue.
I am 16 and I gave my life to God when I was 14. At the beginning of this year I started taking an art class at the community college here at night. Wll I met this guy in the class and he was really cool. He talked about important issues and was a lot more mature and interesting then most guys I know. We started hanging out at the library together sometimes and getting coffees, or he would drive me home from class. Anyway, he asked me out a month ago and I said no, but he asked again and I agreed.
He is 20 and an atheist. He is really against my religion even tho he has never been mean to me or made fun of me for believing in God. His morals are really different tho. I respect and admire him a lot and he is really sweet sometimes. He brings me little gifts and honestly I get more attention from him then I've ever had in my life. He looks at me all adoringly and I just melt. However, there is a problem. Like I said he is older then me. My parents are okay with is being friends but not dating. I can't tell them things and I feel like I'm lying.
The other big problem is, he is sexually experienced and considers some physical stuff important to relationships. I've kissed other guys but he and I make out and he wants me to go farther. He doesn't understand about stuff like waiting until marriage and sometimes the things he says make sense, like what is the point of waiting anyway? When I'm with him I'm really tempted to do more, even though he doesn't pressure me and isn't mean when I say no.
The thing is I really like his company. No one pays that much attention to me at home. He is so nice to me and always willing to do whatever I want, even going to chick flicks and stuff. I don't want to lose him but I also don't want to make a huge mistake in life,
So I need advice and prayers, please!!!
