Is it ok for a 17 year old to date a 15 year old?

Question

I am 17 years old and will turn 18 in late december, the girl I like is going to be 15 in a week.
I was wondering if that is ok if we were to be dating?

Answer 1

Yes I think thats fine as long as your parents approve and also if you don't have sex before the legal age. Two years is not a very big age gap and at 15 & 17 you are both mature enough to decide if you like each other. Its actually common for grils to date guys who are a couple of years older than them because girls mature quicker than boys as teenagers.

Answer 2

It may look iffy.

Only b/c age gaps look so much worse in high school than the real world (like if you were 23 and 25 no one would think twice).



If you really care about each other and can accept some c*cked eyebrows (and hopefully all parents involved are ok with it) then go for it.



Just don't plan on having sex. That would more than likely be statutory rape regardless if she gives consent meaning you can be charged.

Answer 3

Depends on what her parents think. I've already decided that when my daughter dates, she can date one year older but that will be the oldest she can date until she is 18. Too many young girls get taken advantage of by older guys.



There is a huge difference in maturity levels at those ages. Once you get into your twenties, two or three years is nothing, but in high school that age difference is huge.

Answer 4

im 40, and my life partner is 26. but its not ok to conjugate with a minor, remember statutory rape is when the momma says no, if they turn on you, you have to register as a sex offender, no matter where you go, one more year and you are subject to the pennitentary, then your girlfreinds name will be "bubba" think about it!

Answer 5

It depends on what your parents and her parents say, but I see nothing wrong with it. My fiance and I were 15 and 17 when we got engaged (He was 17, I was 15).

Answer 6

hmmmmm well at 15 she is still not old enough for sex so keep that in mind. You dont want to get in trouble

Answer 7

Its OK but why is this in the toddler/preschool section? Did you guys get held back a few years?

Answer 8

yeah that's fine. as long as you both understand the limits. Age doesn't really matter as long as you understand each other :)

Answer 9

well it all depends!!

maturity levels and mental levels are different at those ages...
