Tell them to stop being losers and grow up. Let them know that in high school, it's not uncommon for a senior to date a freshman. And at least you have a girlfriend. Can they say the same?

There is no legal limit on dating.\n\nHowever, there are a lot of laws about having sex with minors.\n\nIn all states, having sex with a minor three or more years younger than you is illegal, taking nude photographs of someone under 18 is illegal, and touching the private regions of someone under the age of 14 is illegal.\n\nIn most states, there are additional laws against fondling or having sex with minors, no matter what your age is.  A few states have some exceptions that may allow sex with someone as young as sixteen, but there are a lot of special circumstances that have to be met (Marriages, parental consent, and things like that, which will never happen, are the most common special circumstances.)\n\nA few states allow someone over the age of 18 to have sex with a minor if there is less than two years age difference, or so the rumor goes.  Bottom line, there's a lot of legal risks, and not many people around here know the laws for your particular location.\n\nBut, there's no laws about dating, so as long as you date without sex, kissing, or heavy petting, you should be fine.

its normal,i would think its best to date some one who is at least 7years older than you if your thinking about a serious relationship,you wouldn't expect the sort of control and authority from some one your age which you would find from some one older.therefore your its absolutely normal and your on the right track

I think that you should wait until you do reach 18 before getting romanticly involved with him because too many bad things could happen if you guys get into a fight since you are still a minor. But after you turn 18, you should go for it. I'm 26 and am dating a 42 year old. Most of them still act like they're 15 not matter how old they get. lol

Mormons are allowed to date outside of their religion.  We're discouraged from getting serious with someone not of our faith though.  I'm mormon and I go on dates with non-members all the time.  I still expect the same standards though.  Meaning, I expect the girl I date to be dressed modestly and so forth.  I'm pretty sure this girl at your school would be all right with going on a date with you as long as you expect to go by her standards.  And make sure she knows you're okay with her standards.  Also, expect to be with another couple.  We like to go on group dates.  Groups help us avoid temptations that come when you're alone.  I doubt she'll try to convert you, although she might be thinking about it (haha - it's true though).  That will come if she really really starts to like you.

As long as you are in control, than nothing is wrong. 19 is the exact age you should be doing this stuff at, nothing wrong with it. But if she is forcing you to do stuff, or you feel uncomfortable, than stop and/or move out.

No.  You are too young for dating.  Where is your mother?!!! And why aren't you in bed in feety pajamas?  If you were my daughter I'd have this boy Kevin by the neck.  And you on a leash.  Nice girls don't date until much older and if you think this boy is looking for love you are a little kid.  Boys are looking for more always.  Once this little boy gets it, he'll leave you and tell his friends.  Be a nice girl and listen to the radio and worry about this when you are 16.  Give your parents a break too.  And stay off the computer!!!!!!!!!

The thought of dating a guy that's younger than me for some reason freaks me out. I'm nearly 19 and I've been dating my boyfriend for 2 years and he's 23. Our age gap works out wonderfully. I think as long as you have a lot in common and you're at the same/ver similar point in your lives the relationship can work. \n\nThat being said I personally wouldn't date anyone over 25 at my age. I'd be wondering why they were interested in someone so much younger.. It disgusts me when I see a man in his 40's + with some teenage girl. Ugh makes me think he should be castrated.\n\n-Elise

It's all about SCHOOLS. I don't know how your's is but where I live 5th-8th grade is middle school and 9th-12th is high school. Having a high school - middle school relationship is difficult. Also, maturity wise 12 year old boys are a lot less into thinking about serious realtionships than 14 year old girls are-she'd be likely to end up getting hurt. I'd be more worried about THAT than the age differance. I'm 17, turning 18 in March and my boyfriend is 16 turning 17 in June and we're extremely happy together but I've already graduated high school (graduated early at 16) and he's a mature individual....so it's less about age, more about maturity. Maybe they could try being good friends for now and see where that goes?

As long as she is of legal age I don't see an issue with asking AFTER she graduates.\n\nThough I've found that these types of relationships rarely work, because the female attraction is almost always either fake or based on a false perception of authority that quickly fades.\n\nIt's also often the case that once a girl experiences the freedom that comes along with college she's must less likely to tie herself to one guy. Much less an older guy who is tutoring at a high school while she is off making a life for herself.\n\nI have nothing against relationships with an age difference. I think though that this type of relationship is often unfair to the younger person.\n\nIs it really fair to be with someone who is going to have to watch you die while they should be enjoying their retirement? Is it really fair they are going to be working wihle you are retired? Whith age differences of 5 years or more these problems tend to pop up.\n\nIn this case though, what about when she goes away to college and you are working?\n\nThink about it this way... if you really care about her, do you really want to put her through that?\n\nMaybe the best thing to do would be to let her have a normal college experience, and find yourself someone your age. Odds are it wouldn't last anyway... and there are plenty of fish in the sea.

No, it is not illegal to continue dating your girlfriend. She is considered your contemporary (meaning she is in your age group) because she is less than 3 years younger than you. Thats great if you guys are not having sex but if you both decide that you want to, I don't think thats a problem either. It depends on the age of consent in your state. Sometimes it is as low as 14. In the majority of states it is 16. That means she takes the responsibility for consenting to having intercourse with a contemporary whether or not he is minor like she is.

Age doesn't matter, as long as there is love.\nI'm dating a girl 19 years younger than myself now.\n\nHe will stay loyal to you if you both are really in love.

This could be a real can of worms. First of all, it is bad form to date anyone you work with. Many companies forbid it. Secondly, how old are you? 20 is very young and if you are more than 5 years older than that, forget it. Finally, if it doesn't work out, you will have a very uncomfortable situation at work with both the girl and her mother there. I would say that it's not worth it. Date someone outside of work.

You'd be perfectly fine at college.  I'm almost 24 and in my senior year.  My boyfriend is nearly 28 and in his senior year.  You'll be fine.  Go for it!

Yes, I do think 13 is too young to be dating. I think 16 is appropriate, or at least till you are a freshman in high school. I think the point being that you are too young to deal with some of the things that you will inevitably face while dating. Just take your time and be young for now...I didnt start dating until I was 16 and I dont feel like I missed out, because when I did start dating there were less restrictions on me and I could drive...because lets face it, you really dont want your parents to drive you on a date do you?

Maybe you mom's trust issues are not with you but with your boyfriend. Also, at 16 you are starting to find out who you really are.  If you start to get involved with someone now, that could harm your ability to figure out who you are and what you believe in. If you have not done this yet, you may want to ask your mom why she does not want you to date at this time and when she thinks it would be a good time for you to start dating.  It is not good to ask these questions in the middle of an argument, but ask your mom if you could talk to her when you are both calm.  Your mom may have a lot of valuable insight for you, or she may have some irrational fears. You will never find out unless you two can sit down and communicate. Good luck.
