<human>: Provide a brief overview of the text.

I've never really been able to relate to people around my own age (16) and any relationship I've had with someone around my own age has ended badly. I've known him for a year through mutual friends, and we've been talking since June but only hung out a handful of times. I've met his friends and they seem to like me, and he's met some of my friends. We get along and share common interests and worldviews. I believe we have similar maturity levels although I know he's much smarter than me. Its refreshing to have intelligent conversations about common interests, though, since no one I've met before seems to be able to do that. When we hang out we literally sit and talk for hours. About anything and everything. I know he's not in it for the sex like most would (rightly) presume, and I'm not severely infatuated with him and going to get my heart broken. I'm very careful with who I lend my heart to. If I wasn't I probably wouldn't be writing this post. He's 23 and going back to college to pursue a different career.
