OP try and make sure in future that you've posted in the right forum, ok?

I wouldn't think so I was going out with this girl and she was 16 I was only 13 so I know what it's like. So no it's not wrong.

[Jess]

I really don't think there's anything wrong with it

In most cases with relationships, the age gap between, say, 15 and 18 is significantly more noticeable and relevant than that of a couple in their 30's. This is predominately due to what the main concerns of the particular age groups are. The concerns, responsibilities and attitudes of someone starting looking at going to college or going into the work force are very different to someone who is in freshman year. Some people may disagree with me, but I like to think it is the case as well that there is a large amount of maturing done within those years in particular between 15-18, this can leave obvious problems within the relationship. You two could quite possibly, given the different situations, be looking for different things out of a relationship and you will both have different needs. All that being said however, there are very mature 15 year olds that I know and very immature 18 year olds.

When it comes down to it I guess communication is the only way to properly decide if you two should be together. Keep in mind the situations you are both in, and if you both know what you are in for and you genuinely want to be with him and he wants to be with you, then I wish you all the best.

age shouldn't matter as long as you love, this age gap is perfectly fine :)

[PervertedStalker]

idunno... my friend just got arrested cuz hes 18 and his gf is 13 or 14.

[Upintheair]

there is only a legal issue if you are having sex with him but as for the emotional part of it, an 18 year old and a 15 year old have very different interests so you should be careful!

[Dack]

You know, alot of people here go "oh no, it's illegal if youre having sex" when really none of you at all know the law. 18 is the age of majority, yes but technically and legally at 15 and 16 you are legally able to have a relationship with someone the age of 18, and if you're 16 it is fine so long as it is a mutual relationship.


However, in my opinion it's totally fine as long as you both have feelings that are strong enough and you both know what each other wants.

[HeartCoreHannah]

Whether there is sex involved or not, I don't think it's a big deal. As long as you both love each other or at least have strong feelings. You're 15. It'd be different if you were 12 or 13. I think at 15 you're responsible and mature enough to know what kind of a man you want. And as long as your parents don't have a problem with it, don't stress about it.

[DerBear]

I am going to do something most people have not and not tell you the danger of this

Its up to you...I would recomend someone the same age as you but then again i will not stand in the way of love/potential love in this case as at 15 i think is a good mature age

[terbear]

I mean if you have sex it's considered statutory rape but...

[ExhibitG]

it's a bit of a stretch, but it seems okay. probably shouldn't have sex though, i think once he turns 18 it's illegal... can anyone confirm this?

[rockandtumble]

My ex was 18 when I was 15, it was prefectly acceptable for me :)
Then again, im alot older than I seem I guess.
Im 16, almost 17 now and Ive only ever been with older guys. Ranging 18 - 24. When I say 'with' I dont mean boyfirend/girlfriend and I dont mean sex .. just making out. And no Im not a slut, I live in Ireland, its kinda the norm here and I havent been with (made out with) with half as many guys as most 13 year olds.
Some people might think thats weird, but whatever.

[Kaius]

My girlfriend was 15 when we started dating and I'm 18, theres nothing wrong with it as long as you and your boyfriend personally are comfortable with it :)

[Hopegirl]

I had this problem when i was 13 n my bf ws 19..it ended after 10 months :/ but i think its ok if you dont have any kind of sexual stuff going on cuz that could get him into trouble..plus sometimes when your in relationships you not always thinking straight nd about whats best for you, tht happened with me, i realised that it wasnt really appropriate and then they do tend to pressurise you ect..just remember that if he ever does try force you to do stuff ask youself if he is worth it..n if he does really love you he wud wait and not put you at any risks :)

[Jennifer's Ashes]

sorry shes new lol

^ she can speak for herself, no need to apologize for her.

Well, all that should matter is that you're both comfortable, but people talk. If you really care about each other then it doesn't matter.

well she told me to so mind your own business and for the rest of yall asking about the ages in sexual relationships its 16-19 yes we have sense ive turned 18 but were very careful with condoms and all that good stuff and yes her parents r ok with the whole shes 15 and im 18 thing her dads pretty strict about stuff but hes actually pretty happy to have some1 mature and responsible to relate to (thank god) lol and her mom is like my mom love her lol but were engaged and everything is perfect and as good as ever!!! :D

[Nihilus]

At this time of your life yes it is. Age differences are not as big of a deal when you are an adult, but at your age that is too much. He is at a different mental state in his development and he is most likely after sex. I have seen relationships like what you are implying, and they have ALL ended badly.
