I work with a lot of young kids. I just turned 24 and a lot of my friends at work are 16. Two guys I work with might like me, one I am pretty sure likes me, the other one I'm not as sure but we're better friends. I like Richie and the thing is we're both real imature. I am silly, giddy and sometimes hyper and i'm not the typical 24 year old girl so that's why I am attracted to someone so young. If he's into me and in my heart I feel it is right then shouldn't I go for it?I don't think it's morally wrong. tell me what you think and why.

If he were 24 and you were 32 it would be OK. At his age it is not. His parents could have you arrested. I'm sure there are a lot of 20-24 years that are just as immature as you are. Find one. Stay away from jail bait. Good thing you are not a school teacher. A lot of them have been prosecuted for this lately.

I don't think it is morally wrong, but if at 24 you are looking for love with a 16 year old boy, you are looking at the wrong place.
It is entirely your decision, not mine and I am not advocating for any side, but you should know objectively, regardless of other posts here who will give you some "moral" advice, age of consent in many US states is 16 (Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Conn, DC, GA, Hawai, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, etc.). In other states it varies from 17 to 18, and whether you are male or female. The age of consent is the age when the law says you can agree to have sex. In most countries it means until you reach this age you can not legally have sex with anyone, regardless of their age old. In the United States and Canada this is the same situation.

If you two like each other, that's all that matters, not what
anyone else thinks. If you two get serious, make sure you
don't get intimate with him until he reaches the age of consent,
or that's what constitutes statutory rape, even if he consents.
I think you need to talk with him about it first, and see if he's
willing to date you. Some guys might like the idea of dating
an older woman. If he says no, you're no worse off than you
were before. If he says yes, that's great for you. I think another
factor you need to consider is that you're co-workers. I don't
know how wise it is to date a co-worker. There are probably
more negatives than positives associated with dating a
co-worker.

No, i don't think of it is incorrect at 19 as much as now a 24 12 months previous. in certainty as quickly as I have been given which comprise my boyfriend i replaced into 18 and he replaced into 23, and we are nevertheless together 30 years later. A 19 12 months previous woman is mature sufficient(in maximum circumstances) as much as now a 24 12 months previous guy. they are the two adults at that age. A sixteen 12 months previous female isn't mature sufficient as much as now a 21 12 months previous guy. this is one newborn and one person, and is not ok for obtrusive motives. The older you get, the less the age distinction concerns. it is particularly extra that the two all human beings is adults, and not one a newborn and one an person.

most state that would be illegal,if it was the other way around the guy 24 the girl 16 what would you think.you definitely not a normal 24 yr old,just because you feel more comfortable around young guy doesn't mean you need to date them.these kids you work with,unless you want to get yourself in a lot of trouble just keep it friends.

Well u can if u want to get urself into trouble. Hes underage! At least wait until he is overage, then go for it, cuz age shouldnt really matter-- even though a lot of people make a big deal out of it. I would tell u to go for it, but think about it. He is under 18

it isnt really a big deal once the 2 people are BOTH adults. example a 30 and a 38 year old wouldnt be a big deal. You are the only adult he is still a child and has alot to experience.you were in highschool once. Dont you remember how often the KIDS got new boyfriends/girlfriends??

It appears you don't watch the news!!!! If they're 16, then it's a problem. If you're 24 then you need to do your research about statutory rape. You're too old not to know. Best you don't get caught by the parents. I'm glad it's you and not me. If he was 18, then you'd be in a whole different world.

i think age differences in relationships freaks people out when it's between an adult and like, a 12 year old. you know? if you feel comfortable having a relationship with someone younger, then go for it! just remember that there are going to be big differences between you guys, but if you both understand each other then i don't think you have anything to worry about.

From all the answers that I've seen on here it looks like
as long as the legal system doesn't get involved...
20 to 45 age diff is ok
20 to 55 is to much for acceptance...
So, why do you care what other people think?
