Is it ok to date someone 2 years younger than me if I’m 18?
I have experience with this.When I was a senior in High School, I met a sophomore who was 16 and I was 18. We began to date.There were a few things going on in this situation:1.) She came from a very conservative Christian family who placed some fairly strict rules on her (and my) conduct while we were dating. Curfews, chaperones, etc.2.) We actually made rules for the relationship that included no sex, no removal of clothing, etc., mostly to placate the parents. That didn’t stop some record breaking make out sessions, but still…The perks: we could see each other fairly regularly.The cons: parents everywhere and the no sex rule kept the relationship from progressing in that regard.Ultimately, once I graduated high school and moved away from college, she felt the need to break it off and hook up with someone else who was also her age and wasn’t several hundred miles away. I was hurt, but now, years later, am very glad things worked out the way that they did.So to summarize: you’re young and have your whole life ahead of you. If you’re 18 and they are 16, the odds are against you for a variety of reasons, to say nothing about the age of consent. Were I to do it all over again with hindsight being 20/20, I wouldn’t have dated her because I spent far too much time on her than on my studies and preparing for college during my senior year.Now I’m not saying don’t do it. I’m just saying, in my experience, it wasn’t a very good time. Your mileage will vary.
Would you date someone 3 years younger than you?
If you are planning on engaging in sexual relations with him, it’s fine as long as both he and you are of the legal age of consent. It’s NEVER okay if you are of age and he is not. If you are both under age, then keep on reading.If you live in the US, age of consent laws differ state-by-state. Where I live in California, the age of consent is 18. If you are under 18, you should be aware that it is illegal in California for two minors to engage in sexual relations. The older minor who’s engaged in sex with the younger minor can be charged with a misdemeanor or felony, depending on the age difference between the two. It is also a crime in California for two minors to engage in sexual relations that do not necessarily involve sexual contact. Sexting, for instance, can be prosecuted under California’s (and sometimes federal) child pornography laws.To be sure, it is uncommon for minors to be prosecuted for statutory rape. If I were you though, I wouldn’t take the risk.
Isn't dating someone younger morally wrong?
Hello, I'd like to ask your advice for sth that has been troubling me. I'm in love with a boy who's much younger than me. I know it's not just a silly crush but genuine, true love. This guy seems to be the best person I've ever met in my life. He's so funny, adorable, cool and handsome, nice and kind. I've known him since primary school and we have been good friends since then. We listen to the same music, watch the same things. So just about 2 days ago he asked me out but I avoided to answer him as there's a huge problem: he's 3 years younger than me! (I'm 22 and will be 23 on December 30 and he's just 19 and will be 20 this December) I know right it's unacceptable a grown up middle-aged person like me dating someone under 21(it's Demi Moore dating Aston). He's also a bit immature like most boys at 19, that's what I'm worried about. I really care about him but I feel the gap between us is huge. When I'll be 25 he'll still be in his early twenties and people will think I'm like his mother or grandmother. My family, friends and everyone else I've asked also doesn't think this would be a good idea... It's like loving an angel; angels are on the sky and not among us:( I feel I'm getting depressed. What is your opinion on the subject? I'd appreciate any kind of advice. Thanks x P.S: Sorry for posting such a long question
Is it wrong to date a girl 3 years younger than me?
It's up to you but personally I wouldn't risk it. Even if you aren't sexually active with her you can still get in trouble if people think you are. And remember, it's your word against hers, and the justice system sucks *** so you will probably be found guilty if she says that you slept with her even if you didn't.
Is it fine to date a girl 6-7 years younger than me? I am in a moral dilemma if it’s fine. How should I take it further?
Who cares. It’s absolutely fine if the girl is adult.By the way Date is not relationship. Date is there so that people meet each other know each other’s likes dislikes etc. then if they find understanding, then only move in relationship and do any commitments.As this girl is 6 years younger, then definitely after the date you will be able to mark her maturity level and understanding with you by talking and knowing her perspectives about different things. If she passes then what next to look for …. nothing . You and her together and forever.Believe me, such relationships are very cute if both understands each other. And once relationship establishes then chances of breakup is almost null in such cases.
Is it morally wrong to date a boy who is 2 years older than me? He's 19 and I’m 17.
Is it MORALLY wrong to date a boy who is 2 years older than me? He's 19 and im 17.Maybe. Probably not.And you’re not going to like the way I get to “maybe.”It depends on your jurisdiction, on the laws that apply specifically to you. These vary wildly around the world, even around the country.In most jurisdictions, it’s legal for a 19 year old to have sex with a 17 year old. And there aren’t any general moral rules precluding two consenting people having sex with each other at your age.However, in some jurisdictions, people under the age of 18 cannot legally consent to sex, it does not matter what their stated wishes are. This sometimes includes a law of the sort referred to as “Romeo and Juliet” which states that this isn’t illegal when both parties are of similar age and under the age of consent.However, this wouldn’t, likely, apply to your case, because the 19 year old is above the age of 18 and you are below it.So why is this a moral issue?Because IF this happens to be illegal, then sex between the two of you makes the 19 year old vulnerable to prosecution and conviction as a sex offender. This, in turn, would be a life ruining tag permanently attached to the 19 year old, until death, it would be necessary to register wherever he lives, to warn all the families nearby, he would be unable to get most jobs… and all of that is if he survives prison, which isn’t necessarily healthy for a “child molester”, which is where the mind goes when you hear statutory rape of a minor.Exposing someone to serious risk of such consequences is immoral.So, it might be immoral, but only if it’s illegal.
Going out with a girl 2 years younger than me? morally wrong?
No, absolutely not! Age means very little when it comes to liking each other. As long as you two have common interests and have a great time together then who cares? You're only 17, you'll be dating quite a few girls probably between now and the time you get married, and when you're 25 or 30, it's actually common for a man to date a girl anywhere from 2 to 6 years younger. Girls mature faster than boys, so boys seem to get along really well with younger girls. It's natural. As long as it's about having fun, and enjoying each other's company, and not just about physical attraction. A 40 year old man who is attracted to a 16 year old girl is immoral because the attraction is only physical. Relationships should always be deeper than just finding someone who's cute. You should find a girl who makes you feel happy, and who you have fun with, and who you always look forward talking to. Good luck!
Is it right for a woman to date someone 2-3 years younger than her?
No when:One of them is underage (16;14) and they're having sex(But it happens and no one gets hurt, and then sometimes they do..)If the woman is nearing the age of her fertility dropping (say 33+) and the man is 29/30Still ok - but if he decides he's not ready to have kids after a few years she might struggle. So they just need to definitely HAVE this conversation sooner rather than laterIf the boy is immatureThe 'dating' will have an expiration dateBut mostly yes because:Being happyShould be the key quotient of successAlmost every relationship I had was with a slightly (from 9 months - 7 years) older woman (see here for that story)Age was not why we're not together anymoreA woman wouldn't date a younger man blindlyThey guy is probably matureIt's a cool quirk of the relationshipA lot of life-long humour there :)To get my advice upon dating and relationships head here
Is it immoral/wrong to date a girl 3 years younger than you?
No it is not wrong. Especially if you are willing to wait until she is of appropriate age for sex. Date casually, and publicly. Try not to be alone....those hormones can be very strong...and hard to ignore.
