Yes, as long as you are not have sexual contact with the each other.

Its not at all about the age. Its all about compatiability. You guys should be on the same wavelength and you should have trust. being able to communicate properly is also one of the major criteria.\nAge difference does not matter.

It's not good, it's not bad.  Age doesn't really matter so long as you two like eachother.  Another way to think about it is that it's better that the girl be older than the guy than vise versa because if the guy is older it can look like he's rocking the cradle.  While if a girl's older then nothing outta hand is gonna happen. (Can't deny the double standard)

I don't know about cursing their future, but I do believe that 16 is way too young to be invloved in a sexual relationship.  There are so many emotions invloved in romance and 16 is a hard enough age without the trouble of trying to figure out the aspects of love.  Grown men have gone to their grave without ever having figured it out.

Yes. Age is a number and providing the reason that both parties are together is not based on reasons other than love (lust?) then there is not a problem.  That is the question that needs to be seriously consulted however.  There is no law being broken and if they are happy then so what. You must also take into account the maturity of both people.  I knew people at 14 who were more mature than those aged 20, likewise now, I know 25-30 year olds who have the maturity of a late teen.\n\n(and no, I'm not a 40year old dating a teenage girl, I'm 22...and prefer men anyway ;-p)

It is fine. I am 24 and my husband is 35. we are very diffrent in age and it is great for us. Also not to say that it should be done or that it is legal and it has to do with the how mature the girl is. I feel it is fine to have relations with someone under the age of 18. many girls have sex befor the age of 18 but it should strongly weigh on her matuity. I think waiting untill the two people know that they are going to be married in the future is best or even waiting untill they are makes it even better. I know sounds a little harsh, but imagine this the people have just been married and how much more the two will want it and feel the romace of it all if they wait. Everyone has their own feelings about that though. If the two of them date for a couple years it is perfectly legal for the two of them to get married in most states befor the age of 18 and in some states can even do it now, but may still need a parents consent to do so. tell your friend and I am sure he will have even more fun making out how much he loves her to her and if marriage is something he really wants with her in the future making those plans with her too.

Depends on the people-She is of legal age so if they are okay with it I don't see any problem-That is only 14 years and I have friends who have been happily married for years with that difference in age.

I'm 20 and my fiance is 21.. weird... same ages.. we've been together for 3 years and engaged 1.. we will have been engaged for 2 and together 4 when we get married next September. I don't think age is an issue.. you have to do whats right for you when you're ready, you can't put a time frame on love  :) if you and your boyfriend want to be engaged 20 years and have a 10 year honeymoon, by all means.. do it ... do whatever makes you happy.. life is too short to worry about what other people think =)  good luck

Can we really talk about consent sex between  16 year-old girl and 40 year-old man? Psychologically speaking both are not in the same level of communication. Besides, there is unbalance of power. the problem is no that teens are having sex among themselves. The problem is when grown-up enter into the game. Would you like to see your 15 year-old daughter in relationship with a 50 year-old man?

I have to say I don't disagree with it.  It says go with an 18 year old boy not have sex with.\n\nAnd an 18 year old boy could technically be in high school with this 15 year old.  Besides, the girl being younger has a lot to do with studies that indicate that women/ girls mature much faster then men.  So why shouldnt a younger girl try to be with someone more mature then a 15 year old boy.\n\nAs long as the morals are correct and the maturity is there, I would say its fine.

Actually, it depends on what state you are in. Yeah, 18 is legal anywhere, but in some places it would be okay for someone who is 26 to be with someone who is 16.

I'm not sure I understand. Do you want to fascinate her? The answer would be, you have no business doing so. If the question is, you have fascinated a 16 year old, and you don't know how you did it, as I was 16 once myself, an older man is always more exciting. Because to a 16 year old girl, 16 year old boys are childish.

I was only 12 yrs old when i started secretly dating a 19 yr old guy.... it was fun because it was forbidden and nobody knows until my Dad caught me. I was grounded to have dates intil I was 18... My point is, there is nothing wrong in dating someone older than 18 while you are an underage. As long as its a harmless date. Harmless in the sense that both of you are just enjoying each others company (no sex involved). Its only a DATE...not marriage.

age is nothing but a number, only way its not ok is if it really bothers one of you two, no one else matters, i'm a 26yr old guy dating a 36 yr old woman and there is nothting wrong with it, nor is it wrong to be 26 dating a 19 year old

when i was 21 i dated a guy who was 43. it was nice and ironically we did have lots in common as far as interests and goals in life.\nwe had alot to talk about so it's not like it was all physical. he was there when i was sad to rub my back and tell me i'd be alright and vise versa. so like everyone else has been saying. as long as you are of legal age you should be fine. as long as you guys actually like eachother, enjoy eachothers company and have much in common then there is nothing wrong at all. that doesnt mean your a gold digger or a player it just means you've found a refined man instead of a childish boy. ;)
