i understand your feelings. i'd be leery of you if she were my daughter, BUT, when i was 14 i was in love with a 20 year old. thank goodness he went into the army and i didn't see him for four years.

you make a lot of sense in your reasoning, but i'd suggest leaving her alone..as much as possible and devote yourself to your studies and make some other friends. do volunteer work...teach kids math. tutor...whatever.

i also can understand the connection. when i was in my 40s, i met a young Navajo man who was 22. we connected immediately and we went through all of the "attraction" scenarios...we stayed up all night once talking about our relationship and his take on it was that because of what we went through..we got where we are now. soulmates but not "together soulmates". does that make sense. if i called him tonight (900 miles away) and told him that i needed him, he'd come and vice versa. i'm much older than you and had a lot more life experience when i met him. and at your age, you haven't had as much life experience as you probably think that you have. i felt that way in my 20s.

keep up the posting and we'll work through this...okay? pat
