What do you think is an appropriate age difference when dating?
Do you think it is ok for someone over 18 to date someone under 18?
A 24yr old dating a 16 yr old.....Is that wrong?

It's very unusual and I think its more of a fantasy than a real relationship, both people are at very different points in their life with different goals and dreams. Especially if the girl is the 16 yr old, girls are very impressionable and tend to just go along with whatever an olderman says.
But if your serious about the relationship talk to her parents, because they can make things very hard for the older boy even if the age of consent is 16. There are still restraining orders filed on the minor's behalf.

It's okay for someone over 18 (20) to date someone under 18 (17) but 24 and 16 is pushing it. An 8 year difference is a lot for a 16 year old. If it was 32 and 24 it would be much more appropriate. Generally for people under the age of 18, a 2 year difference is good. And three works but is kinda pushing it.

Whoa....i would be careful of this. In my state, as in many others, anyone over 18 or 20, dating someone younger could get busted for statutory rape. Check your local laws. You would be a registered sex offender for life. If you must be with her, marry her. There are many states where 16 is legal and Utah is 14 (way too young if you ask me)

Yes that is wrong! As long as it's legal there is not problem with any age difference - but if one of them is below the legal age of consent it is always wrong.
