When I turned 16 I got a job at Subway. A girl named megan was the manager when I started. I thought she was completely adorable and very interesting, but she was 22. That was 3 months ago now and a long story short we are a couple. My mom approves and me and megan are always together. She just fears that she could still get arrested. Do you believe in statatory rape laws and does age matter?

Well....according to the law, this is illegal. Therefore, it's not right in the eyes of the law.
This is also a huge age difference. I'm not against it...don't get me wrong. I started starting my husband when he was 19 and I was 22, and now I'm almost 25 and he's almost 22. So, age isn't a thing to me. BUT you have to realize that you are in two different worlds. I am assuming that you are still in high school. She's been there, done that with high school, and is either out of school or in college. She's probably experienced a lot more than you have. I'm not saying it won't work, but you have to understand that a large age gap like this will make it more difficult. You are in two different places in your lives, and you will have to deal with other people who look down on it. Trust me, I did, and we were both adults and the difference is only three years. But I know that it was better that we were the age we were instead of say....15 and 18.
It doesn't matter what I *or anyone else* thinks or believes. The law is the law and they vary from state to state. From my understanding, only your mother could press charges but it could be different, you might want to check it out. In my home state of South Carolina, there are tons of people who are registered sex offenders because they were having sex with their 16 year old girlfriends and they were only 17! Not cool!

it concerns slightly ... yet inspite of this I actually have study stuff on right here it truly is for sure from someone youthful and they make sturdy factors ... and that i'd hearken to them ... the different area is the more youthful young ones (11 to twenty somethings) who've very black and white wondering and that is the mentality of a young person, no longer an grownup, so i basically smile and browse over their solutions ... like those that rant about what they experience is nice and not in any respect truly answer the question, they're more beneficial interested in human beings understanding they have politically maximum superb effortless viewpoints, to fit in i guess ... i bear in options being 20 some thing and wondering there replaced into in undemanding words one correct way for issues to be in my options at that age ... the older you get, with more beneficial existence journey and the a lot less politically maximum superb will develop right into a spotlight and actuality is more beneficial of a spotlight ... yet there are human beings born with sturdy animal karma and that could nicely be obvious from little young ones to senior electorate ... i do not imagine i visit assert how knowledgeable someone should be to possess a canines because some those with no clue, get a canines and get it immediately away ... others take a at the same time as to study ... and others are idiots who may have dogs inspite of their IQ ... there is not any administration over that and there not in any respect will be ... everyone can own a canines, information has no longer some thing to do with it ...

i think statutory rape should only be if your really young like 14 or younger but other than that i think its your decision on who you wanna date. And to me no age does not matter when i started dating my girl she was 20 and i was 17 and that was eleven months ago and she is going on 21 now and im gonna be 18 so yes age is just a number and if you love each other than it shouldn't matter to you anyway.

Age does not matter as long as you guys are in love and can live with the age gap.
The American law is just ridiculous. n

yes, age does matter.. women thinks two years as of the man.. so its not that her age is 22.. but 24... see the gap between your mind and her mind... this may cause you separate later...
