No there is absolutly nothing wrong with dating an older women. You must be very mature for your age. Age is just a number these days, what really matters is what you feel in your heart. If you and her think that it is right, then that is al that matters. If you want to ask your parents what they think of you dating an older girl, then you should invite your g/f over to your house and you both should sit down with your parents and talk them. Maybe have dinner first then a desert and over desert talk to them about it. Good Luck! rate me!

Theres a guy in my school who is 15 and dating a senior. Being that your a guy.. I think your parents would be more OK with it. Your dad might even say "thats my boy" because lets face it..a lot of guys would like an older woman. If i were in your place..my parents wouldnt like it at all because im a girl..and they wouldnt want me dating a senior..but being that your a guy i think they would be ok with it. So ask her out and if she says yes..go home and talk to your parents. Tell them straight out that your dating a senior and show them how happy you are. See their reaction and take it from there. If they flip out and you need some more advice..drop me a line in my inbox

i really hope not cuz that would make me..... well lets not go there. anyways the general formula ive found to work is take the younger persons age and divide by four. then ad it to their age. so in your case 15.5/4=3.875+15.5=19.375 so you can date a 19 year old. yeah you should probably ask your paretns theyll find out eventualy, they always do somehow.

Age isn't as big of a factor as it can be made to be. In my opinion, the gap between you two is no big deal as long as you're compatible.

Remember a couple of things:
1) The reason younger guys with older girls is less common is because guys often mature slower. I'm not trying to make you feel like a loser, but be sure to evaluate how equal you both are in maturity. :-) It's a good idea for ANY relationship.
2) Her life will be changing drastically in the next couple years. She will be graduating high school, possibly going onto college or something else. Either way...it could be a problem. She will be on her own and you will still have a lot of high school left. It could make things hard, but it has definitely been done...so just assess whether you two are up to the challenge. Don't let this put a damper on things but be realistic and keep your heart unbroken if possible!

Lastly...TALK TO YOUR PARENTS! I am so glad you mentioned this, because they are there to help you out (even if it seems otherwise) and telling them is a good way to get some input on the situation. Don't try and make it a big deal, just tell them you're digging this girl and that she's a little older than you. Hopefully they will understand and have some advice or help for you too. It also is good to give them a heads-up. Parents hate being the last to know, and if they are, they will be more likely to react badly to the situation. You being upfront and wanting their consent and advice will show them that you're mature and responsible.


Good luck!

No of course there is nothing wrong with that! I actually give you props for gettin an older girl, most guys can't pull that off... The whole parents thing just be honest with them. I don't think they will have that big of a problem with it, i mean i don't know your parents but your a guy. Parents trust guys way more then they trust girls. Well i guess it's kinda the other way around. When i was a freshman i wanted to date a junior guy but my dad wouldn't let me cause he didn't trust him lol. But if i had been in your shoes i think he would have been excited for me! So just approach them and be honest about it and unless they are real strict about things like that then i think that they will be cool about it!!! Good luck with that!
