Age differnce?

[XxArcAngelxX]

So i was walking around my neighborhood today and i met a girl. shes kinda cute and we really hit it off. shes outgoing fun and interesting, now my question... i am 16 and she is 13. so can anyone list some problems. her dad is strict ive heard but im okay with dealing with parents, so yeah problems?

well the age difference might be a problem for some, so you might want to look out for that. Other than that, I don't really know. Her dad might make it hard for you guys to go out...

It's only three years, it's honestly not that big of a deal. As long as you don't plan to do anything sexual with her for a while, and she doesn't seem too immature to you or anything (which I assume she doesn't) then go for it!

Well, i know the age difference is only 3 years... But don't you think you should wait maybe a year or two? i know that sounds impossible but the age doesn't quite add up to me.

not a big deal if you're not searching for a sex partner

[XxArcAngelxX]

Well im not really looking for sex at the moment just a gf to have fun with and chill ^^

In all honesty, you should wait until she is fourteen. Thirteen year olds aren't even in high school yet, and you're just going to get yourself teased by your peers for being a cradle robber (I don't mean that cruely, I'm dating someone much older than me, but because she's thirteen people will see it that way).

Personally I think it's kind of young. If you were like 26 and she was 23, that would be different. I just see teens as young...then younger haha

I agree with the mod
I mean I like a girl that is 3/2 years younger but i think you should wait till she is in HS

I would wait until she's fourteen, as Lexi has said. Also if you're planning on doing sexual things, I would highly advise you turn away from the relationship idea. I'm not saying you two can't be friends, but at this young of an age for both of you, it wouldn't be wise to chase after sexual activities. At all, besides kissing, which is no big deal.

I can't remember where, but I came across a reliable equation for this.
Divide your age by two, and add seven. That's as young as you should go.
The older you get, the wider the range. It's brilliant. In this case, I'd advise against it anyway. People would think you're being a creep, especially her family. Wait a while.

This equation doesn't really work when you're under 14. I'd say it doesn't work when you're 16 or younger, as I think a 16 year old would be able to comfortably date a 14 year old.

When I got my first girlfriend i was 15 and she was 13...

The age difference itself of three years isn't too bad. I'd usually say a two year gap is best, but me and my boyfriend have two and half years between us. However you're 16, which means if you were to do anything sexual it would be illegal and in theory you could actually be charged.

Although you say you're good with parents, I doubt a strict father will easily approve of a 16 year old boy dating his 13 year old daughter.

In this situation it's best to wait I think.. Although unless you wait 3 years it'll never be legal. But in my opinion you wouldn't find a lot of support with your family or friends.

I agree with what most people already said. If at all possible...wait until she's at least 14. I mean I know seniors that date freshmen so it's not that strange but crossing the highschool middleschool gap is hard. If you can wait til she's a freshman that would be best. Plus her parents would have a hard time complaining about that since you both would be going to the same school anyway.
