Well... seeing as how you're a minor and he isn't, you're breaking the law.
If you're okay with the potential consequences if you have sex (statutory rape), then by all means go ahead.
My 15 year old sister thinks she's mature enough to date seniors.
I always tell her she's not ready and has no idea what she's doing with her life, while the senior typically has more concrete plans (already has a college he/she is planning to attend, or a trade school or what not)
Every time she ignores me and gets screwed over.
I have a feeling this will be the same thing.
The funny thing about advice is that the person rarely wants to know what others think, they just want affirmation that their opinion is correct.
That's how I feel about all highschoolers that ask for opinions... whether that's right or wrong, you decide.

Not really considering it's only 3 years... But at the same time it is because you're young. You're either a Freshmen or a Sophomore and he's a Senior.
It's only going to comoliment things. He could be using you , hopefully he's more mature than you, and then not to mention he's going to be leaving you and off to college.
So in the end it's up to you and your parents but it's better to not bite off more than you can chew. It won't make a difference in a couple of years but while going through puberty/maturing it will.
No. My first boyfriend was 18 while I was 15. You're young, so your dating situation is probably going to be fluid. Just try to be cautious and look out for yourself first.
Yes it is and creepy due to your age.
Dude your 15 please don't go crazy overboard.

Okay. Age differences matter less than life experiences... Its completely concievable for a 50 year old to be at the same place in their life as a 80 year old (retired, kids grown up and moved away, just want to settle down etc etc). Naturally the age range with comparable experiences drops as you get younger. A 21 year old and a 25 year old will have more in common than a 20 year old and a 16 year old. You follow?
An 18 year old has finished manditory education. And is either looking at higher ed, or work. Either way they are an adult looking at adult problems like paying the rent and buying food. A 15 year old is a teenager. They need to worry about school, homework, hobbies/afterschool clubs and school yard politics. Its too big a gap.
For a teen it is certainly a bit too big, due to even more important factors, namely maturity and different life stages. At 18 he is in a transition from teen to adult, learning to take the work and responsibilities a grown-up has to do, like earning a living, getting a job or into college, and surviving in the society, while at 15 life does not get far from school and other respective cliques and groups. The mentality and daily schedules are a lot different between you two. It will be hard for you to cope with each others' lives.
The age range widens at adulthood, but for now it safer to go for someone no more than a year's age difference since than minimizes the differences I mentioned.

The age difference isn't a problem the fact that there's an adult involved with a minor might be but 3 years isn't that bad at all.
Yes. I can say I probably changed a good half or more of my personality, body, lifestyle, etc. by the time I was 18.
If you're talking about age difference in a relationship then YES that is one hell of an age difference
WAY in my opinion it'sWAY too big: you're 15, he's 33
Completely different responsibilities, life, independence past experience, financial means, work situation. He may have a child your age (with a baby mother and and ex)
A slanted relationship thus.It's a big difference, too big for me. He'll be out of high school soon, and you'll still have three years to go. I generally don't like the idea of high school students dating people out of school. Maybe 17/18 or 18/19 but no more than that.
i wouldn't let my 15 yo date anybody till she was in her 30's
#OverProtectiveIt's not that big an age different, but I advise you to wait until you're 16 to do anything sexual since it most states 16 is the legal age of consent.
No a good friend of mine also had a boyfriend who was 18 and she's 15 (now 16). They stayed together for quite some time. I think it's fine.
15 year olds too immature.
18 year old can easily take advantage of youKinda weird a senior would be creeping on a 15 year old, but maybe it's just me.
Noppe, but when he goes off to college you two will be in very different stages in your lives
No, it's not, but more than 20 years is too big difference.
That was the ages of my parents when they met.
yea I would never do that
Yeah i don't think so!
nope, I think its just fine
Yes it's too big of an age gap for dating.
divide by 2 add 7 for the guy that is
No. filler filler
Naaahhh
Just give him/her a big big kiss : D
