i agree with the previously stated comment. that's just a year short of being a ten-year difference. think about how much you've changed in the past five years alone... im sure you'd say that a lot has happened in that time. but then again, if ya'll both feel that its worth the chance, then its worth the gamble if your feelings are strong enough.

i would suggest trying to be friends... knock out the flirting and try not to be attracted to the guy. get to know him like you would anyone else and if you still feel the same way about him after you know all his faults and quirks, then i guess give it a try.

Not sure. The difference between 19 and 28 is HUGE...not numbers-wise, but maturity and life-experience-wise. Be careful because I hope that he's not just interested in you BECAUSE you're young.
