Is he to OLD for me?


Question Posted Monday August 7 2006, 11:46 pm

Ok, So I am going out with this guy. He is 26 and I am 16, well soon to be 17. But people keep saying that he is to old. But he makes me happy. Then again he makes me annoyed sometimes but then again thats life. lol.
So I really like him and I just keep thinking that it is just like Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moor.

it all depends because if your parents were to find out they tech. could press charges on him.. but if your parents no and are ok with it then its all good. but the whole ashton and demi thing is true, but i dont no because its kind of wierd that he is 26 and he wants a 16 year old. but i dont no the guy or you. maybe you 2 are perfect for each other, because age is just a number. so either way i have no idea if i should tell you if its right or wrong

Okay, this guy IS way too old for you. You're 16 and he's 26. That's a ten year age difference. If you still want to be with this guy when you're 18 and moved out of your parents house, you can do whatever you want with whoever you want. I guarantee that this isn't like Ashton and Demi. Most older guys are only after all these younger girls because they want some action and can't get it from someone their own age. Think about that before you go jumping into a relationship with this guy. There must be some reason why he isn't dating people in his own age range.

since you are technically a minor, i don't think that it's okay. if you were both adults, then go for it, but there's a lot of legal things going on here. your parents could even take him to court. so i'd advise waiting until you're 18 and then go out with him. because otherwise, his life could get totally screwed up with all this legal mess. but if you were both adults, then i'd say it's allright.

orphans answered Tuesday August 8 2006, 1:07 pm:
mind you the person who answered before me (the laura) is from england and their laws and rules on things like this are nowhere near as strict as they are here in the states. if this guy keeps going out with you he will most likely meet your parents at some point. and if you aren't 18 by then your parents will likely flip out. now if you're 18 theres nothing they can do. but if not they can taje him to court on charges of statutory rape even if you two did not have sex. and the case will likley hold because the courts love taking any guy down for being a "sex offender" even if he's done nothing more than be your boyfriend. so your best bet is to just remain friends with him. because otherwise he can go to jail, he can be in jail for 6-10 years, and he can lose all his rights.

when someone is accused and convicted of being a sex offender they are automatically lost to society. they will lose their right to live in a good neighborhood, they will lose their right to live anywhere near a church, school, or other such place. and they will also not be able to get a job anywhere without a lot of luck. the sex offender badging works in some cases, but screwes people in others.

Some people just can't accept big age gaps in relationships. If you're happy with him, what other people think shouldn't bother you. You are old enough to understand what you're letting yourself in for.
Some people prefer older partners anyway, because most have more experience.
I, personally, wouldn't date someone 10 years older/younger than me at the moment, but that could possibly change in the future.
Best of luck, though. and stay safe. :)

Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moor are both adults.

You aren't an adult yet, he is (theoretically).

The age difference is really big, in my opinion too big, and it puts you in a very vulnerable position in this relationship. I don't have a problem with differences in ages in a relationship as long as the two people are always equals. It's very difficult for a teenager to be an equal with a twenty-six year old.

Watch out for yourself.

Mabey he IS a little too old but age shouldnt matter.Besides older guys are a LOT better.Its better to date an older dude cuz hes more mature then someone youll find thats your age now and he will be more expereinced and know how to treat you.He will understand you more too.But you just gotta make sure you aint bein played with.Hope this helped

Lola answered Tuesday August 8 2006, 3:56 am:
I have always thought that there is no problem if there is an age gap between one and another, but 5 years is the maximum. So in this situation , i guess the guy is too old for you to be with. So unless its just like a temporary relationship for fun and not really serious, then its okay. But usually at the age of 26, they started considering marriage, and what would you say if he asks YOU to marry him? i am sure you won't agree,because you are too young. So you can have all the fun you can since he makes you feel happy, but if this gets serious then you'll have to back out.

babiigirl answered Tuesday August 8 2006, 3:17 am:
Im kinda iin the same situation but im not dating this guy. Ten years is kind of a big age gap. But even then your under 18. If anyone found out that he is with you he could get in serious trouble. Its great that he makes you happy but you should leave it as just friends till your 18 So you guys dont destroy a friendship.
