depends how mature the man is. generally it'll be a disaster, she's still a teenager and no matter how mature she may seem she still has a lot to learn. maybe something could come out of it 5 years from now... but i highly doubt right now as an 18 yr old, unfortunately

17 is still considered a minor. She can "date" older men that is not illegal. Sexual contact would be illegal. However, you would be hard pressed to get a prosecutor to bring a case considering she is 17.

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.

love... im fourteen and my boyfriend is 17. we've been dating for almost four months now and never once has he asked me to or pressured me to have sex with him. actually i was the one who brought it up but he said he wanted to wait. i said that's fine with me. we love each other so much and i know he's the one for me and he feels the same way about me. i would do anything for him. there's nothing wrong with a 17 year old boy and a 14 year old girl together. the age difference isn't that much and it is said that women mature faster than men. i love having a mature boyfriend. unlike the other boys my age. mabey he feels like the other girls are way too mature for him and he wants to actually go out and have fun instead of always being bitched at lol. too much drama with 17 year old girls

In the US, if you are underage--even if you "want it"--it is considered rape if an older person makes love to you.  For example, let's say you are 15.  If your partner is 18 or over 18 and he/she makes love to you--even if you both wanted to do it--he/she could go be charged with statutory rape because you are a minor and he (or she) is not.\n\nA friend of mine in Texas was 18 or 19 when he got a 15-year-old pregnant.  They were dating when she got pregnant.  And her parents loved him...up until the time she got pregnant.  They took him to court; to make a long story short, the judge ruled in this manner:  He gave my friend a choice:  either go to prison for the statutory rape, or marry the girl.  My friend decided to marry the girl, but the marriage didn't last long.  They couldn't get along; he wasn't happy living with the girl's parents; the parents didn't like him anymore; he couldn't get a good job to support the girl or the baby...etc., etc., so they wound up separating.  I lost contact with him, so I don't know what happened to the baby.  I'm sure the girl and/or her parents decided to raise it.\n\nThis is a perfectly legitimate question, so whoever said this is a stupid question, try to be more open.  Obviously if you are a minor, there are many things you want to know before you do them; we should try to help rather than blow these questions off.  It could be your child asking you this question some day.\n\nSo the bottom line is, if you are underage and you are thinking of having sex with your adult partner, don't do it.  Wait until you are at least 18.  Even if you and your partner are both 14 or 15 or 16 or 17, or any age below 18--wait until you guys are at least 18.  You don't want to wind up being 15 with a baby living with your parents.

I think whoever got her pregnant would be in more trouble, dependant on their age. If the guy is over 18, then that could be classed as statutory rape. As far as being expelled from school, i dont think they can do that under grounds of discrimination, however, it all depends on school policy. If she is already showing and hasnt been expelled yet, chances are that they are not going to.

you got me confused,but I think I know what you mean. U wanna do it, but you have regrets (conscience). I personally think your too young, so wait on it. U mentioned you both respect each other and that makes the relationship reasonable. Why don't you both wait. Sex will always be there and in high school you can't turn the clock backwards to make things right.

My personal opinion is that a 15 year old girl can't give "her permission" to a marriage (regardless which age the husband has). A girl that's not even a woman doesn't know what marriage means. \n\nFor the other question, I never had "illegal sexual partners" (as you said) before I married. This is very common. I think all people in the world that are faithful in any kind of religion try to stay virgin before they marry.

NO! Listen mate, 15 is definitely too young. I definitely don't think you two should have sex. What would your parents say? If you truly do love each other, then waiting until you're older won't hurt your relationship. I strongly think that you should wait. Don't rush into sex- make sure you've explored all the other levels completely. Experiment. Ever tried finding out how many different ways you can kiss? There are lots of other intimate things you can do, but don't actually have sex right now. I mean, there's so much teenage pregnancy and stuff happening right now, and it creates a lot of problems... If you have sex now, both of you may end up regretting it. I say wait- and that will make it even more special when the time comes.

I don't think there is a specific age.  Just make sure you both are ready for any consequences that might happen. I have a friend that got a girl pregnant the first time they had sex and they used protection so just remember protection doesn't always work so you'd better be prepared to deal with the good AND the bad that will come along with it before you do have sex.

Usually, but the laws are different in every single state, so check to make sure.  \n\nAlso, if the 17 year old turns 18 before the 15 year old turns 16, then suddenly something that WAS legal becomes illegal in some states.  \n\nSo check your local laws.\n\nRemember too, that the law really deals with sex; it would be up to the parents as to whether or not they would allow their son or daughter to date or "court" the other individual.\n\nYou can access the website below for age of consent laws in most countries and all 50 US states:

The age of consent in Ohio is 16. So technically it is illegal for you to have intercourse until she is 16. But there are no laws against just dating (no sex).

And they will pass another; You must be at least 18 to have sex.

it's prefectly legal if not a bit strange. the maturity levels between a 15 year old and a 12 year old are pretty different. the only legal problem that could arise is if after 3 years if they are still dating and the 18 yr old and 15 yr old have sex and are caught, that would be statutory rape.

Becuase 18yo's are weird..and 16yo's arent. It is not rape.

There is NO WAY ON EARTH that a 14 year old should be going out with an 18 year old.  It is not "against the law" to date, but anything sexual with him is a crime (for him, not for you).
