Age just a number?

Question

People have told me its wrong to date a 22year old because im 16. Hes like my best friend we both like each other. He said we'll wait til im 18 to be together so it'll be easier on us.
Opinions?

Answer

I think he's right.  Wait till your 18.  If u still care for him then go for it

Answer

Age isn't just a number to the law. If you guys do something to upset someone & they report him he can go to jail. His life will be ruined & it's not worth it. I've seen it happen to people before. Even if the relationship is consensual.

Answer

As someone who dated a 21 year old when I was 15, wait. Wait until you're an adult. I loved that man with all my heart but we were never on an even playing field. There is just so much more he knows and can manipulate you with (not saying it will be intnwtional, but you will feel pressure to keep up with people his age). Wait until you're an adult.

Answer

Age is just a number. Depending on the laws in your state, 16 might be legal. I live in Ohio and at 16 you're legal to have sex with someone of any age, as long as they aren't an authority figure (like a teacher).

Answer

Where are your parents? Lord, be.

Answer

I was 17 when I first met my now husband, he was 24, we've been married 4 years, together 6, have our own home, 4 animals, 1 child & trying for our second.

Answer

When I was 14 I dated a 17 year old. At the time, I thought I was in love. But I was most certainly not. He manipulated me because I was younger and I did things I normally wouldn't do. Sadly, I was with him for 3 years. I didn't learn my lesson until the end of the relationship when I was 17 I finally caught him cheating, so there was the end of that. Just be careful when dating older guys, don't let them take advantage of you or manipulate you in any way. Now, I'm married to my absolute best friend of 3+ years and already have one year of marriage under our belts and couldn't be happier. We are currently TTC our rainbow baby. We may still be young (21 & 22) but we are in love and committed to each other 100% 💕 Good luck to you Hun

Answer

I dated a 20 year old when I was 16 because boys my age either bored me to tears, were too immature or way too sex crazed. He actually thought I was older, as did his family.  They did get over it pretty quickly and I wasn't pressured into having sex or manipulated due to age difference.

If both your families are aware of the relationship and have no objection to it, then I don't see a problem, especially since he's willing to wait.  Just be careful and know the laws of your state when it comes to consent.

Answer

What does a grown man want with a teenager? I'm sorry but I think that is disturbing. An age gap is ok when you are both adults but you are still in high school.
