No.Love does matter

Answer 2

Keep seeing him if you want him to end up in jail, and having his a ss kicked by your father. You should really look into the fact that there IS something WRONG with him. What can a 16 and 24 year old have in common, or let's say what SHOULD they have in common... The answer NOTHING! If this guy is willing to date you he is a loser, for a couple reasons. Either he can't get a girl his age because he is not worth it, or he just wants to f*ck you. Think about it. There are laws for a reason in this case. A 24 year old should not be going anywhere near a 16 year old. The maturity level should be much different. If you were 24, and he was 32 it would be much different.

Answer 3

You are 16 and he is 24. You are still in school and depending on your grades you are probably a Jr. and will most likely graduate in 2008. He has been out of school for 6 years unless he quit school and didnt graduate.
He is an adult in the eyes of THE LAW both FEDERAL AND STATE and of course in the eyes of the parents of both of you.

Your grammer doesn't denote someone with good language skills and writing skills. Words spelled improperly such as: "kno", "nuttin", "plz", and "wut u", are not words. They could be possibly defined as slang, but I seriously doubt it.

YOU are a child, a teenager to be more specific. He is an adult, what could he possibly see in a teenager, other than the fact that you are willing to have sex with a "man".

Are you having sex with him? Is he your first? Have you had sex with any one else? Sometimes a young girl, especially your age and when the guy is OLDER than she tends to feel "IN LOVE" with the guy her took her virginity.
A man who from what you say, "Feels the same way". YOU think you love him, but you dont know if you do or not. Since you have known him since you were a child, known him for life, you assume that you do.
You say you want to tell your parents and get it in the open, but have you considered talking to HIS parents and getting it out in the open with them as well??

Why dont you and he sit down together with both sets of parents, your parents and his parents, and tell them together that you and he are in love with each other and are going to have a relationship. This relationship will probably include sex, because you two think you are ready for it.
When you do this please come back and tell us all the results of that conversation.

After all to you AGE is nothing but a number. We can type until our fingers fall off and you will not see reason anyways.

Answer 4

Ok. That is a big age difference. Too big! My b/f and I are four yrs apart. I'm 16 and he's 20. It's not that big of a deal.

In your case, it's a very big deal. My advice would be NOT to say anything to your parents.

Maybe stay friends until you turn 18. But dating, and more importantly...sex....should be out of the question with an age difference like that.

You are right, age ain't nothing but a number but he could go to jail if the wrong people find out and if you really do love him, you don't want that to happen.

Answer 5

It is true that age is nothing but a number. However you must consider the fact that general society still sees you as a child. Keep the relationship at the friend level until you are over eighteen. You should also remember that he is over twenty-one and can and will want to do things that you cannot yet do. This would strain any kind of relationship that you two develop. Take it slow and build what you already have into something that will be beautiful to you both.

Answer 6

My opinion is that a 24 year old guy dating a 16 year old girl is a loser. Not that she is bad, but he should be looking for someone more his age that has more in common. Plus, a girl should not even begin to think about getting serious at that young an age. She has not even had a chance to experience life yet, yet alone possibly getting tied down now. Good luck to ya!! GaryT

Answer 7

i think that age doesnt matter because it is the love you feel in your heart. i do believe there is a big difference in a way a 16 year old and a 24 year old think. i also think that if you are 16 and you have sex with the 24 year old be careful cause he could go to jail for rape even if the 16 year old says its ok. personally i don't know any 24 year old guys that would ever date a 16 year old.

Answer 8

At 16, age does matter because you are jail bait. He could get into real trouble for pursuing a relationship with you, and be required to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life. If you really love him, wait until you are 18 to start a serious relationship.

Answer 9

I'm sorry but 16 is too young to be dating a 24 year old. Wait till you're 18 that way he doesn't get jailed for dating you if your parents press charges against him.

Answer 10

I think in this day and age he can go to jail if you are not careful. He should be willing to wait until you are old enough. Age is just a number in some cases my grandfather was 20 and my grandmother 14 and they stayed married until he died.

Answer 11

u are risking jail time for him---if u really care---wait until u are 18--or is your goal to sent him to jail

as long as both people involved are of legal age -- 18-- THEN AGE DOES NOT MATTER---as both are consenting adults

in your situation 16 is NOT a consenting adult and the 16 year old is trying to get him arrested otherwise they would say lets wait and be genuinely concerned for the others welfare
