I have a friend that is 15 right now. I'm 22 and we have both admitted that we have strong feelings for each other. My question is do you think it's alright to be with someone with that much of an age gap??? I mean we wern't actually going to date or anything untill she's 18. It's still kinda strange to both of us though. I mean, Should we care what other people think or does anyone else even matter?

That's the same gap in years as me and my ex but she was eighteen. It was the best relationship I have ever been in, but it was more to do with the type of woman she is that the age difference. Wait and see if you two feel the same when the time comes, she is too young to know what she wants or needs and it might change as time progresses, best to cross that bridge when the time comes.

If you are 22 and she is 15, it's obviously not ok to be with her right now. But once she is 18 I don't think that the age difference would be a problem, it's not that much of an age difference. Just don't do anything until she is 18!!

At this point it IS her parents who SHOULD care, but you sound like you handling it right. If she were 18 then it is NOT any ones business....
I had a crush on my now husband when I was 12, but he was 18 & he knew me & my family, but he never "saw" me. We have been married for 13 years now. The age difference isn't the big deal. I think for most people they see the numbers... 15 & 22 & think OH GOD!!! Statutory rape, etc. But when you look at in years, 7! it isn't a lot.
Good Luck to you both.. I hope all works out well for you....

You should care, you could go to jail. Im fairly sure her parents would care.
A fifteen year old girl is not capable of making the kind of choices involved in a relationship with an adult.
Back away, and wait.

The law matters. I know it doesn't seem like it now, but it does exist for a reason.
If you feel romantic feelings for this little girl, and you know you are going ot act on them, or even be tempted to act on them you should have very limited contact with her. Perhaps supervised contact just to keep temptation at bay?
Once she is 18, go for it! Don't even wait til the candles on the cake are blown out! But for now, keep your distance.

At that age, I think it is a big difference. Although I am 40 and maried to a 32 year old. So there you go: I think one thing and do another. In other words, you should not care what other people think. Care a lot about what you think, though. - What do you think?

Have the decency to feel ashamed to have even thought about doing this and forget this conversation ever happen. If she was your sister and some 29 year old guy wanted to do her how would you feel? And no its not any different . Don't take advantage of her naivete
