Do you think age matters if a 15 year old girl likes a guy who is 18 years old (he just might like her too)....if they got together...do u think age would matter considering the fact that he had a very good upbringing and that she never had a boyfriend before?

Age can matter although it is not always obvious. It depends on the maturity of the 15 year old girl and the 18 year old guy. A good upbringing is an important thing, but it doesn't always mean that the 18 year old will not take advantage of a 15 year old girl who has never had a boyfriend. Another thing is that the life of an 18 year old can be quite different than the life of a 15 year old. He may be out working or in college and may live away from his parents. The fifteen year old is still in school, likely still lives at home and also likely has fewer responsibilities. This can affect how life is viewed and what things are priorities to each person. As people grow older, the age difference matters less and less. Two mature adults can be in love, but still have quite a difference in age. Even in these relationships, though, there can still be difficulties with cultural references being different.

It's not only about the age but the maturity factor. Some people are more mature than 18 year olds at the age of 15 and some 15 year olds are still in the mindset of a 12 year old. To be honest I think at 15 the age still does matter a bit more because 3 extra years of dating can be a lot when it comes to relationship. He may be in a different place then you are. That being said if I was you I'd be careful, don't rush into anything because if it's meant to be even if you put it off for years it will happen.

age only matters in certain years.
i could not imagine dating a 15 yo if i was 18. maybe 16 at youngest. but if i was 25, i would probably not go below a 21yo. and if i was 35, probably a 25. as you get older, the age differend doesnt matter.
i would hold off on the 18 yo, hes a guy, and is only after one thing. he has yet to mature into full adulthood. just because you are 18, doesnt make you an adult. besides, he will go off to colledge, and leave you in HS.
my oppinion is that 15 vs. 18 is not good.

First thing. 18yr old guys should have enough sense to stay far far away from 15yr old girls. Second thing. What do your parents think of you dating an 18 yr old guy? If you were my daughter and I found an18yr old hanging around you, I'd have the police pick up what was left of him and throw it in jail until hell froze over. Third thing. In 5 years an age difference of 2-3 years won't be a big deal. Right now it is.

I truly don't think the age thing is a factor, I would let my daughter date an 18 yr old. She knows what is right and what is wrong. The upbringing is a good thing, but you need to be up front and honest with your parents about it. Don't do it behind their backs that would be a problem.

Yes, a 20 or 30 year difference may not seem like much when your 20 but as the years go by the difference becomes more evident. Just ten years can make a big difference when you are much older. I have known people that have married much older and younger people. One of my friends is 45 and his wife retired last month. Although he loves his wife he says the age difference sure causes problems.

i don't think in that situation age should matter. If he was raised right and is not trying to get some sex or any of that crap then it should not matter what the age is. I had a friend when i was younger that was 15 and her bf was 18 and i worked out and they got married so....

Yeah...it matters more at that age than if you were 18 and he was 21...he's "legal" and out of high school...you've still got 2 or 3 years left...he'll be thinking of college or getting a job and (hopefully) his own place...you're gonna be at home for a while finishing your basic education...you're not on the same page in your lives, and that's going to likely cause issues...
He's likely to soon find himself interested in women who are his age or a bit older...who are also out of school and independent...y'know?

It depends in where you both are in life. Both of you should be on the same level-->maybe same interests, what you want in the relationship. You shouldn't have to change who you are to be with that person either. But I think you are still young. You should probably wait at least another year to date an 18 yr old. Because they usually have one thing in mind and it's better to be safe then sorry. Good Luck

What are you going to do when this guy could go off to college and you are left behind? He will be out of High School and you will still be there wanting to go to Proms, etc. while he could be off in college in a whole different type of environment. People his own age doing the same thing he is will be all around him. Plus, what if you became intimate and he is now an adult and you a minor? Nothing but trouble staring him in the face! When you are out of school, no problem.......now it is a problem.
