is it wrong for a 19 yr old to like a 16 yr old?

Question

in england its legal

Answer 1

Not in my book! The forbidden relationships are always the best and the sweetest so go for it. As long as you love each other then age difference doesn't matter! But be careful because it's condoned in some states... (Let me ask you too: I love a man who's 17 years older and I'm 14, would that be so bad?)

Answer 2

When you're older, the age range won't make much difference. Right now, there is a great deal of difference. For instance, you learn a lot and mature a great deal at those ages, the 16 year old may be way behind on some issues the 19 year old may be comfortable with.
Another issue may be that the 19 year old isn't as grown up as he or she should be.
Among other things, intimacy is normally illegal for a 16 year old, and having intimate relations between the 2 can do a lot of damage legally, and emotionally. What if the 19 year old is caught, convicted, and spends the rest of their life as a sex offender...absolutely ruin their chance at getting a good job. The 19 year old would run away from the situation, and the 16 year old would think that they did this to the 19 year old, and the 16 year old would think it was their fault.

Be Friends sure, but be very careful if you get close...I'd even recommend separating yourselves until heated emotions cool down.

Answer 3

If you have to ask, then you know it's wrong in your conscious. Come on man, there is a huge maturity difference between the ages of 16 and 19 in both females and males!

To the 19 year old: What is wrong with you that your maturity level relates to a 16 year old? Don't tell me, "she's/he's mature for her/his age". The opposite is true, you're immature for your age. You need to work on that & your social skills, then start hanging out with adults in your own age group.

Answer 4

Stay away from sex for two more years,don't be creepy let the 16 yr old BE a 16 yr old.She may look and act womanly but there are still Teddy Bears on her bed.Or if it's a guy,he still has a few Legos he hides from his Buds

Answer 5

I dont think its wrong to like anybody. However, you must consider the fact that the 16 year old is under 18. If you are planning to date without sex then you shouldnt have any problems. If you think you will want to have sex, then perhaps you should find an older person to like. The other alternative is the good old fashioned way. Date, fall in love, get married, have sex. God Speed.

Answer 6

No. But it is wrong to like a 61 yr old

Answer 7

Not as long as both people are mature enough to handle the situation and that you understand that she/he may need to take things a lot slower than you are used to. (a gentleman would go slower out of respect anyway) Also, go talk to her parents and make sure they don't mind and explain that you like thier daughter and have no intentions of treating her improperly

Answer 8

I think it's ok only if the 19 yr old isn't a guy. Then I think it falls into the guidlines of statutory rape if they have sex.

Answer 9

yes it is wrong a girl at that age is very impressionable and she may have her own hang ups at that age, which then she may be seeking you or other things for the wrong reasons. let her be a kid, and you be the adult you are suppose to be. another suggestion might be to give her space and time and wait until she is 18.

Answer 10

It is perfectly fine to "like".
Certian implication of "liking" may be wrong or even illegal.
But most are fine and good in many many senses.
