I'm 15... He's almost 18: Too big an age difference?

Question

I really like him, so put that aside for a moment... is this ok?

no sex involved...

we're both in school and in the same activities... he's really nice, and even with things non-sexual, he doesn't EVER pressure. i'm also very mature for my age, and it sounds weird coming from some arbirtrary 15 year old... but i have witnesses.

OH. and my mom likes him too.

Answer 1

If you like him, don't put him at risk for going to jail.
NOT OK.

Answer 2

At your ages you are really at different places in your life. You've got high school to finish and all the challenges of that, he's at the beginning of his life as an adult.
If you really like him, I'd say for the moment to go on with your own life, and look him up again when you're 18.
Best wishes!

Answer 3

well back in the 30s 40s 50s 60s 70s 80s no
but today yes.

Answer 4

i guess at my age, (im 18) and yours, we're are still a lil on the unstable side. you're only 15. please do not rush things. cuz i noe its just so tempting to get into a relationship. but there's more to life than these.

it's not easy to put aside your emotions and carry on, i know. but it's a risky age you're in.

choose whatever decision. but there'll always be a consequence(s) for each decision, whether gd or bad.

if u choose to go out with him, do think through the outcomes. :)

Answer 5

What do you plan on doing with him? You do know that he can actually go to prison for sleeping with you. I know that three years doesn't seem like a big difference and your right it isn't. But when the age difference means legal or illegal, you have to reconsider. If you do like him like you say you do, then don't put I'm in a situation that could send him to prison.

Answer 6

no, not at all. that's what my g/f's age is (I'm 18) and when you think about it.. its only 3 years.. age doesn't matter in love. like it could be worse.. I've seen 15's with guys who were 46... ew... and 50% of parents these days are like... 5 years apart. it looks like a big deal now because your young. in 10 years. no-one will even notice

Answer 7

well age is only a number. but u are kinda young and may not be ready to do some things like he is. If he is willing to treat u right and respect ur values then go for it. the only thing about this is that sometimes guys that age might look for younger girls to take advantage of them bc they think that they are young and naive. but not all guys are like that. but i woudl suggest u to think about other options before commiting yourself in a relationship that is not worth it getting into. stand ur ground and dont be submissive.

Answer 8

Its not legal and can get him into trouble soon when he is 18. My first love was 18 I was only 13 he turned out to be an ***. Concentrate on school and studies and your dreams not on a boyfriend.

Answer 9

Not legally, but I don't think there's anything hugely wrong with it.
BUT...
But you may be in different parts of your life. He is done with school & you aren't. It may lead you to make irrational decisions that you aren't quite ready for. It can be unhealthy. That is when it isn't ok. If you find yourself skipping class or having unprotected sex, you need to call quits.

Answer 10

No, 3 years is not bad. But, wait until you are 18 to have sex, or else he will go to jail.

Answer 11

Just because you think you like him, does not make it okay. If you were my daughter, age 15, he would already know that my 15 yr old daughter is off limits. Get it?
