Been there, done that. Make sure she doesn't have sketchy friends, and also ensure that her mom likes you. If her mom suddenly hates you for no reason, she'll use your age as leverage. If it's obvious there's no sex going on, she'll claim that you having literally any contact with the girl is "stalking behavior" - even if the girl herself says otherwise! Even if the girl ends up being the one stalking you, the mother will make sure you are the one feeling the heat!
I wound up breaking it off with a gal 3 years and 7 months younger because of such drama. But I was one of the few positive influences in her life shaping her away from the direction of her shitty neighbors.
Almost immediately after her mom removed me from her life, she began smoking pot. Which progressed to robbing a Subway store with a toy gun. After she got out on that, she wound up taking the gateway from weed to heroin. And then she got pregnant from a guy she did drugs with. And then she had a few more jail visits due to parole violations. And then she overdosed on heroin and died, 3 months shy of the 11th anniversary of her mom forcing her and me to part ways.
No one other than her mom and step-dad (and maybe her brother) was even allowed to see her body. She was given a rushed, private funeral. Then shipped off to some cemetery I'd never heard of before. I was treated the same as her junkie friends from rehab were treated, even though I'd done nothing to deserve it and had never met them before.
Actually got to talk with some of them at an unrelated memorial gathering. Still can't approve of their habits; but I'd say I got along better with those recovering addicts than I ever did with the holier-than-thou types my family hoped I could befriend instead.
It was paradigm-reshaping, to see all these "clean" types who were complete assholes, and to then see all these broken junkies who were actually capable of being (almost) decent and civil beings able to hold a normal conversation while reserving judgment till the end - and would let you finish a sentence before speaking.
Totally contrary to the "role model" kids I'd met - who would interrupt me and judge me to my face. But when I would call that out, I'd hear nothing but excuses from others trying to shift the blame to me.
Which... helps me understand why those junkies became so frustrated with society, that they'd throw their lives away on drugs in the first place.

I was in that position, I was going on 18 and tall, she was a tiny grade 9... I figured it would have been just to awkward and uncomfortable for both of us and didn't pursue it.
I can relate! I just turned 17 (grade 12 just late birthday haha) and I like a 14 year old. I get it, trust me. I never considered dating asomeone so young but he's different. He can write music, sing, play piano, he's one of the most talented people in my school, but he is shy and doesn't sing for anyone except me.
Go for it. If you can see a future with her there's no problem. Just don't break her heart (like use her) and you're good!
what state do you live in? check local laws, honestly I would say as long as you are respectful to her and don't use your age to try to manipulate or pressure her, then go for it! if you like eachother spend time together have fun and be careful with her feelings if you are going off to college soon. the fact that you aren't trying to get laid makes it seem like you're a good guy. maybe even consider introducing yourself to her parents :)
Well... Do u like her or not? But u should know that u would probably have trouble and people in ur school be talking negative about u. Like the fact that u are or will be 18 and u would be with a minor. And would her parents approve of the relationship. And will u really stop her if she tries to have sex with u.

Nope it wouldn't be weird. That's the best mindset to have with any girl by the way. I would go for her if I were you
if you only want to have sex with her then i dont think its fair that you take advantage of such a large age gap percentage. however if you think you actually like her i think its ok.
ehh why would you want a 13-14 year old if you are 18
Depends on if you're college or high school students.
You're gonna be in college soon and she'll barely be halfway through high school. I think you can be friends but the maturity levels are just a bit too far off.
Did just that well i was a junior when we dated. Anyways i would suggest that you do not date her unless you wish to lose your sanity. Girls at that age are impetuous
Yes it is, if she's still a highschooler. If she's a freshman in COLLEGE and of LEGAL AGE, then jump on it dude
Yeah you're an adult and she's a minor. You could go to jail if you had sexual intercourse with her
Well she's going to be in high school for the next three years. Do you want to deal with that?
If it's college you're fine. If it's highschool you shouldn't
if you have a pretty good reputation then itd be best to stay away from minors that can cause you legal trouble
It's a little weird, but if you two like each other then go for it!
is it highschool... if your 18 and she's 15 I'd tread lightly...
How old is she? If she is underage in your state, then you only have yourself to blame
It's cool, I don't see what the big deal is.
If you have to ask us, the answer is no.
College or High School?
DONT TAKE THE JAIL BAIT
yeah sure
