LiLReBeL6907 answered Monday November 13 2006, 9:24 am: Whe you turn 16 you will be considered legal to date anyone to the age of 21 without parental consent. Since he is 18 and you are still 15, it is still legal for you guys to date, just as long as your parents consent with you two dating. But they can't just get mad at you one day and make you guys break up. They can only legally force you guys to break up if they have probable reason, meaning evidence, that you guys are having sex, which would be hard to prove. But they could have you tested to see if you have had sex, so if you and him are having sex, I would try to hide that fact. It could be considered statititory rape, which is consensual sex with an underage person. So he could actually be arrested if your parents press charges. That probably won't happen, but just be safe. Best of luck.

Just don't let anyone know about your sex life. Or maybe don't have sex at all?
Nadia answered Monday November 13 2006, 1:42 am: as long as u don't have sex (or let anyone know you are) it should be cool. and of course as long as your parents are ok with it too.
when i was 14 i went out with someone who was 21 (dont try it) but the age difference isn't that bad. just show that you're responsible and it'll be all good! [ Nadia's advice column | Ask Nadia A Question ]
