    Question

    This summer I went to a summer camp!There, I met a guy who is 21 years old!He looked at me straight in the eyes. He showed he cared about me. Now after the camp he asked me out and said we would go for a walk just the two of us somewhere alone. I suppose he wants something more than just kissing and stuff. We are not in a relationship, so I just don't know if I should back up or just go for it! I really want to move on with him. I like him a lot. But I am 15 and I am afraid of having sex a little bit. I am afraid it may hurt and that if I make mistakes he will be disappointed! And what if all he wants from me is sex?

    Answer

    Danger, danger! He is an adult and you are not. That is illegal in most places and he should know better. The only way to know if all he wants is sex is to work on being friends, avoid being alone in isolated places, and if he is not interested in spending time with you around others and gettig to know you -- then he is likely only after sex. If he works for the camp, please tell the camp director!
