  1. Age is just number i honestly don't see how big of a deal it is and really it's none of your firends buisness what you do i meaan if you think it's right then it's right.ok


  2. As long as you are not 18...nothing can happen, if you don't want him arrested for statutory rape.  If he is as wonderful as you say he is, a gentleman will wait until after the proposal for marriage.

  3. some people might find it that even though your nearly 18 you are still a young girl and he's 21 it not too much difference, my parents are 12 years apart, but if you feel like you have a connection and want to pursue it then i say go for it

  4. Legally he should not be seeing you. He could be arrested. The law is if you are 17 you can not be with anyone more than 3 years older than you from your birthday. Wait a little while.

  5. I say wait until your 18...your parents may not like the idea and press charges. It really is not a big difference...but seen as you are still a minor there could be issues down the road before you turn 18.

    This is just what I would do. You can definately continue a great friendship until 18, there is nothing wrong with having a good solid friendship before you get together. Take the time to learn more about each other in conversations, and you will be surrised at what a wonderful relationship you can have down the road in a matter of 4 months.

    Best of luck to you with the choice you make. ;o)

  6. no its not a big age difference its perfectly fine. it just seems like a big difference because ur not 18 yet. but dont worry about it the age difference is fine.

  7. no not at all. but i would start talking to him as more than a friend but not start anything anything physical until i was 18. believe me im 17 going to be 18 next may eh, and im like in love with this 26 year old. I hate my life.

  8.      Not at all.  If he's a decent bloke, go for it.  There was a 14 year age difference with my parents, so if you like each other and get on well, that's all that matters

    Good luck to both of you

  9. in most states that is illegal. if you were 21 and he was 4 years older it wouldn't be a problem. wait until you are 18.  

  10. i would probably wait until your 18 because

    1) its legal

    2) the age diff will be less

    and if hes nice i mean thres no reason you cant talk to him but dont do anything because its not legal yet!!

  11. As long as your at the same maturity level i don't think its too much of an age difference. (besides, women mature faster than men)

  12. Growing up I dated all of my sisters friends (shes 3 years older that i am) They say age is ONLY a number and it really is its just a number. Heck I started dating my husband when i was 16 i just turned 21. True the only reason you shouldnt is incase it would be illegal make sure of the law. and you should not have a problem!

  13. actually, you can.  there was an 18 year old who dated a 16 year old and then "got frisky" to put it in your words, and the 16 year olds parents found out and got a restraining order against her until their son turns 18.

    But the age difference isn't that bad.  Some married couples are like 10 years apart and stuff.  I'd just "not get frisky" until you're 18.  

  14. you should wait till your 18 b4 you start anything serious so you dont get him in trouble unless you guys are willing to hide the fact that you are together.

    me and my hubby have a 6 year age dif and we met when i was 15 he was 21 been together ever since and have two kids together now that we are older 20 and 26



    but i live in ks and here its legal at 16 as long as your parents know you are dating and there is a posability of sleepin together

    i'd look up your laws on it for your state  

  15. well, you have asked a very interesting and important question. i think age does not matter in case of likeness or love. a 15 years girl can love 25 years old man. in this case, you are 17 and he is 21 only 4 years difference. some expertise found that 5 years difference between couple is good for such relation or marriage life. so carry on. wish you a versy happy life. www.MBBSDoctor.com may help you more.  

  16. Yes, the difference is you are still a minor and he is an adult, if anything happen between both of you, he will be put away in jail, do you know that?

    Why don't you wait until you turn 18.  

  17. well it would be illegal for u to do anything "funny" with him until your 18 so i wouldnt, unless u want to charge him for rape. But no its not that much of a difference... especially since hes older, and when hes 35 and your 32 it doesnt even seem like anything.

  18. you can always date until your birthday

    but don't do anything else

    where i live that will put him in jail

    but no one say you to can't go out and have fun   you know get to know each other more

    it would be Worth the wait ( for you both)

    hope it helps

    good luck

  19. wait until your 18 for legal issues.

    do my friends?

  20. no way is that too much of an age difference!

    if you both love each other, that's all that matters :)

    i mean, come one its only like 4 years apart. my parents are 6 years apart..haha yeah i know maybe that a little much. but hey, they love each other and thats all that really matters!

  21. Your age difference is not a problem at all.  If you like each other and have done so for a year, then be happy and stay together.  Tell your friends that waiting four months isn't going to make a difference, now.  Enjoy your 21-year-old boyfriend!

  22. That's not a big age difference, don't worry about it. The age difference between my mom and dad is 15 years! Most married couples are at least four years apart. My best friend is 16 and her boyfriend is 19, things are perfect between them.

  23. No not at all. I love older men I usually date men that are about 10 years older than me. They are better than the younger one.

    Good luck girl!

  24. wait until your 18 so you guys can legally date, after that i believe that its the pefect age range and nothing is wrong with the age range

  25. definatelly wait for as long as you can and not just because of age difference. once a men turns 21 he starts going to bars, what are you gonna do? you think you can trust someone at that age?

  26. nope ! not at all. my boyfriend and i are three years apart.

    to most people it might seem weird because you're still young, but if you were 24 and 28, it would be 'perfectly fine'.

    but anyway, i say do whatever makes you happy, regardless of age [:

    though i agree you SHOULD wait until you're 18, just in case.

  27. When I started dating my boyfriend, I was 17 and he was 20. We have been together for 4 years now, and planning to get married. Age is just a number.

  28. If you have chemistry and are good friends, that's the best part! Who cares what the age difference is. By the way, it's not a big difference AT ALL. I was 19, and my husband was 23. If you two are happy, then go for it! :)

  29. no it should be fine as long as the heart is there I'm talking about 20 years difference still doesn't make any difference age is just a number depend on how you feel for each other.

  30. nope.My parents are like 10 years apart.

  31. thats too much of an age difference it wouldnt really matter if it was like ur late 20s himearly 30s cuz ur at a similiar time in ur life but when ur young its a huge difference so i would say its too big of an age difference at this time sry
