Answer 1

Maybe they just want you to be careful of a thing called statutory rape! However, with her being 15 she may be a bit more immature than what you want to deal with. Bottom line....only the two people in the relationship truly know if it's worth it.

Answer 2

What's the basis of your relationship? It is "love" or is it "lust" or is it "friendship". Think hard about this. If it's lust, then don't put yourself in a situation that may find you in troubles that many here have suggested. If it's friendship, then the "dates" are all very innocent and should not matter. If this friendhip is to turn into love, then don't rush into things. Like you said..".. is one year not even gonna make such a big difference.." specially if this may be for a lifetime... If she's worth it. She's worth waiting for..I'm not saying stop seeing her, just be careful. Remember.. be a gentleman at all times. It's old fashion, but it's the only way to go.

Answer 3

Years make less and less of a difference as you age. If you were 25 and she was 22 no one would care. If you were 45 and she was 32 no one would care.

However when you are young you are still growing and learning and often people feel that at that age a girl or boy should be sheltered from any influence that may be unpredictible.

Generally fifteen is a year that is filled with changes for young people. Imagine when you were fifteen. You were likely worlds different from today. Sixteen is almost always considered the age where children become young adults.

Also, from a (Canadian) legal view, if you were to have sex with her while she's 15 it's statutory rape, while if you had sex with her when she's 16, it's not. (At least, I think that change was passed.)

People are overprotective of young people, women especially. If you know you treat her well and you're not breaking any laws, go nuts and ignore them. :)

Answer 4

19 and 16 is as wrong as 18 and 15. You are at very different places in your lives. She needs time to grow up, gain independence and figure out who she really is. You need to learn why you would rather be worshiped by a child than treated like an equal by a woman your own age.

Stay away from this poor kid.

Answer 5

Because she is a minor and you can be arrested for statutoty rape.

The term "statutory rape" is used when national and/or regional governments, citing an interest in protecting minors, consider people under a certain age to be unable to give informed consent, and therefore consider sexual contact with them to be a felony regardless of their stated consent.

The age at which individuals are considered competent to give consent is the age of consent (AOC). Age of consent is usually the age at which an individual can legally have intercourse with an adult, but in some jurisdictions the AOC establishes the minimum age of sexual conduct with anyone, regardless of age. In jurisdictions with the latter, it would be possible to charge two minors with a violation of the state's AOC.

Many jurisdictions have multiple age determiners for AOC, as well as a second "statutory rape age boundary". For instance, an adult engaging in sexual intercourse in a particular jurisdiction with an individual under the age of 12 may be charged with a full statutory rape charge (a charge fully equivalent in punishment and severity to rape) whereas intercourse with an individual between the ages of 13–16 may be a significantly lesser charge (such as, "unlawful sexual conduct with a minor," or, "criminal sexual conduct with a minor,") depending on the jurisdiction, the age difference between the participants, and other factors. Criminal sanctions for violations of the age of consent which are not statutory rape may range from a minor misdemeanor to a high level felony. Some jurisdictions have a third age boundary which is an age of consent that is relevant in situations in which the adult is in a position of authority over the minor (e.g., the minor's teacher, doctor, coach, school principal, mental health provider, et cetera). The massive confusion caused by the various but very different sexual crime laws (which often have legal terms which are not interchangeable or parallel from jurisdiction to jurisdiction) usually leads people to assume that any violation of the age of consent is a "statutory rape" crime.

Laws vary widely in their definitions of statutory rape; some states make exceptions when the older person is also young or of a similar age, or if he or she marries the minor before the act of sexual intercourse or before being charged with the offense. Due to a wide variety of opinions on what the proper age of consent should be, and conflicts between child sex protection laws and the natural exploration of teenage sexuality, statutory rape charges can sometimes be controversial and contradictory.

Some critics contest the legal characterization of unlawful, non-forced sexual contact as "rape" or "sexual assault." In addition to being seen as an incorrect use of those terms, critics believe the absence of a distinction diminishes the severity of actual (forceful) rape. Furthermore, they argue that charges and punishments should reflect the presence of force, so as not to suggest that actual rape is no worse than, for example, non-forced sexual contact with an adolescent
