Dating, and age differences?
Now I know that everyone has their own personal preferencese when it comes to dating. My question though is, is there something wrong with a 17 year old guy going out with a 15 year old girl? I mean do you see anything wrong with it? I know i'm going to get many different answers and that's what i'm hoping for. There's just this guy that I really like, but he said that youngest he would date is 16, and i'm 15, and he's 17. He's a really great guy. We both have a lot in common, and are a lot alike. I'm not saying that because of these things that we belong together or something I just want to know everyones ideas on this. Any and all answers are greatly appreciated, and thank you in advance.

15 and 17 is perfectly fine. I know plenty of people who are in that situation. Its really no big deal. I would say 18 is not a good idea though because at that age it seems like the 18 year old enters a new level where like 15 year olds shouldnt be, if you get what i mean. For that guy your talking about, its just his personal preference to only date people as young as 16.

If you are 17, and he/she is 15. Then no it is not illegal not YET anyway. No, It doesn't matter how mature the person is. It is illegal and it is a law that if someone of the age 18 or older is dating a minor it is clearly wrong. Many people have been arrested for it, gone to court etc. It is one thing that if you were 18 and they were 18 then that would be fine because then they would be of the age to make there own choices and they would legally be an adult. Anyone who is under the age of 18 is still legally a child. If you turn 18 and you continue to date a 15 year old I'm not saying it will happen but you are putting yourself at a huge risk. All it takes sometimes is for one person to see and get the "right" impression.

Well not really because its not illegal yet. There would be if he was 18 or older and she was 15. Plus it really depends on how mature the person is and how mature their realtionship is

Well, my boyfriend is 2 years and about 3 months older than I am. We have been together for a year & a half. So obviously from my experience, I would say that I don't see anything wrong with the situation. But all people are different and have different opinions. When you are older, the age differences will be more lenient in most cases. Maybe there is more to what this guy is telling you. Him saying that could be a possible coverup of whatever else. For example, maybe he just didn't want to date you but he's trying to be a nice guy.
From another perspective, my mom would say that 15 is too young to be dating, period, and that 2 years is too big of an age difference at this point in your life. Although, in my eyes, age doesn't tell much about maturity or in some cases life experience.

i don't think this is wrong at all.. 1 of my ex's was 17, when i was 15 and we dated for close to 7 months. and another 1 of my ex's was 18 when i was 16, so it's the same age difference.
you just need to find out if your parents will have a problem w/ this, at first mine didn't like it at all then they got to know him and pretty much fell in love with him, so it really all depends on their opionin. but i see nothing wrong with it, good luck :)

this is a tough question to answer, because, no, I dont think there's anything wrong with a2 year age difference, because how many couples are 3,4,5,6....9 years apart? the thing is, that next year, even though you'll be sixteen, your relationship would be illegal, and that would probably make things a little difficult.
good luck with everything.
