Is it ok if a 16yr old girl dates a 24yr old boy?
Superb Opinion
The law in many places including some US states says it is okay. People seem to not know that... Personally I think it depends on the people. Some 16 year olds are very mature and not every guy is trying to get into a girls pants. Some 24 year olds aren't that different in maturity and life experience than a 16 year old. Some people will say that the 24 year old is weird or a pedo but a pedo is a child lover not a teen lover. Teens are post puberty. Men are lying if they say they aren't attracted to a well developed 16 year old. We all have seen older men staring.

of course, I don't see any problems, as long as he is respectful and loyal, and has serious intentions. I mean, girls at this age can be innocent and hopeful that it will last forever, sometimes they still don't understand how relationships and people work. if he is honest and true, I don't see any problems.
No it's not okay. Because it doesn't matter if the girl finds the man attractive he still dating a minor which can also lead to him being a pedophile or a rapist. You should only date anyone within your age, or you could just go to the next level and pray to God that he is not good looking for prison and as a convicted sex offender regardless if sex is not even involved.

It's all depends on you... if you think you and him seriously have a mutual love then go on... and if you are just seein eac other and thinking that you both are falling for each other... then first have some chats with each other spent some times. Then decide

I am going to have to say no to that. It is illegal in many places.
Also there is a significant developmental difference between a 16 year old girl and a 24 year old boy. He might catch up to her level of maturity by 30 if he is one of those smart guys. - 1.9K opinions shared on Dating topic.
16 here is legal, and i agree that this would be alright. In fact i've my babysitter when i was younger in fact was 16 and with a 24 year old guy or maybe 22? either way still that age-ish and they married and still are today.
To say a 16 year old cannot be capable of been with a boyfriend older than her is absurd in my mind. -
No it's not I tell you why see dear age gaps doesn't matter but what important her is understanding the relationship. people date to find life partner who can spend whole life with each other. you need to grow up understanding how good relationships works. it's important for you grow up so you can learn some life lessons. so my advice is that you should be only dating after 18+

Where I live a 16 year old can legally date a 24 year old however do I think it is ok absolutely not a 16 year old is still a child where a 24 year old is an adult
you also have to remember if you live somewhere like in America if a 24 year old dates a 16 year old they would be arrested an charged and very likely be sent to prison for years -
No because even though she's 16 her brain still is developed enough to realize that there is something wrong with a 24yr old guy going after a 16yr old. His brain is developed enough and he knows it's wrong yet he does it anyways. He is on his way to be a predator if he doesn't control himself

Its fine. Just dont have casual sex. If he sees you for a period of time with no sex then he probably is actually into you and thats good. Dont think he loves you after a week or two because if he runs off that means he just wanted sex and you will be heartbroken and used.

No its not okay. 16 is underage, he could get into legal trouble if anything happens to you. Besides... its kind of creepy for a man whos 24 to date an inderage girl. Pedophilia... that word just stuck in my mind as soon as i read your question

I worked with a girl who was 16 the guy she fancied was 26. Of course her parents didn't approve. They ran off together.
Fast forward 7 years. Later she has three kids with him and finds out he's a child molester.
I'm not saying this is every older guy. I'm just saying the signs were their if she hadn't been lovestruck by an older man. People tend to date their own age. When an older person dates younger a lot of times it's to gain an advantage over them. -
No, not ok. It's probably illegal depending where you live and it's morally reprehensible too.
I've answered questions like this before so check my opinions. -
No way. A 24 year old should NOT be dating a 16 year old. That's so creepy. He's only using you to get into your pants. DONT fall for it!
-
No. A 24 year old has no good reason to pursue a relationship with, or be attracted to, a 16 year old. Trust me. Been there, done that, got the therapy. Don't fall for it

No, that is too young, might not be legal in some states.
-
No it isn't. Adults should only date adults; and minor should only date minors. The only exception is when you're both 17 and one of you turns 18 before the other person does.

If you are living at home, your parents might have a problem with it.

No, that a called grooming. Not dating. Live your life and don't get involved with men this early.
-
When you get older, the age difference is less of a concern. It may be now.

If you do not have sex I guess it is okay.
