Are there inapropriate dating ages ?

Question

I know legally ..... things vary from state to state but ..... what's your opinion on minors dating when there is a certain age difference ? WOuld a 13 yr old girl dating an 18 yr old male be inapropriate ? Is it different because he is an adult ? A 13 yr old dating a 17 yr old ok ?

Whats the youngest age dating should be allowed ? What are he cutoffs ... the age difference and situations you would not condone ?

Answer 1

Yes, I think there are inappropriate dating ages. Teenagers are getting into things way too early now.

A 13 year old should not date an 18 year old. An age gap that young is not right. It would be different with a 33 year old and 38 year old. I think it should be a 3 year difference, tops, but only if the youngest is above 15 (unless both people are above the age of 18).

It depends if you mean actual dating. When I was in grade 5, many of us had boyfriends. We got married in grade 2 every day at lunch. But that was "Oh I have a boyfriend named So-and-so". It meant nothing. You didn't even hold hands, it just meant you liked chasing them around the playground the best.

I think kissing is fine for grade seven and eight, but it is going way too far now to include oral and intercourse.

Answer 2

when in school still, before college you should stick with people around your own age. If you are 13 stick with 13, 14 maybe 15 year olds. And remember not to go to far in any relationship for a while.. a long while

Answer 3

I'd say that really young persons should make friends but not date, and those nearing adulthood should only date those their own age. Mostly because of maturity.

Answer 4

Look, my bf's 18, I'm like 15, and we get along just fine, nothing sexual or anything, people over analyze this stuff too much.
