Answer 1

You guys can still date as long as you don't do anything naughty.. hehe. :]

Answer 2

i think you will be fine the law is that you cant be more than 3 years apart from age difference.  If you are that worried just be careful with every step you take

Answer 3

dont tell people hes 16

Answer 4

Pending on the state you live in there's an age thing. Some states a child of 16 can date an adult up to the age of 22, legally.

Answer 5

Just dont sleep with him.

Answer 6

If you been dating for years it's okay. So don't worry.

Answer 7

I sooooo relate to this, he was 15 and I was 17.  We were together for 2 years and now it's been on and off since then but we still love each other so much and are very best friends.  btw I'm 20 now.

I say stay with him, you shouldn't get in trouble as long as his family likes you and your family likes him

Answer 8

You are allowed to date someone under 18 as long as you are not having s*x.  It is not illegal to date each other.  However, depending on which state you live it, having s*x could be illegal.

Answer 9

Be very careful.  If you get charged with statutory rape, you will have to register as a s*x offender, and that will never go away.  If you really care about each other, just hold off on the s*x until it's legal.  It is an idiotic law, but there are people who can't even take their kids to the bus stop because they had s*x with their 17 year old boy or girl friend when they were 18, and now they are considered s*x-offenders, listed on the database, and unable to go anywhere that children congregate.

Answer 10

its all good honey

Answer 11

who will find out ?

Answer 12

yea ya'll can date and even if you do decide to give in ya'll might be able 2 have s*x. Because here where I live {n.c baby (eastside ~yurk~)} the age consent is 16 and not 18. And I no in some other places it 16 as well. You'll just have 2 check.

Answer 13

So what? I've said it before tonight and I'll say it again: AGE does not define who we can love. We are free to love who we want.

It will not be illegal to date him just dont advertize it to the world because some are very quick to judge. As a 17 yr old myself I would date a 14 yr old if I liked her, I don't look at age as the determining factor for the girl I like. I look at who she is as a person. I applaud you for staying with him since I assume both of you like eachother very much. Good Luck!

Answer 14

nope, as long as parents are ok and that he is not under you by four years. i dated a senior my freshman year, i was...14 and he was 17, and we dated for 7 years after that. i called the local police department after my mom said she will call against him because we were fighting. lol. ahh how the yers past. but seriously, atleast in my state of ohio your safe. call your local law inforcement area and find out local rules. :) wish you both well
