The age thing is not a bad thing. The thing is that ages are in different stages of life. Can you find some things in common? Are you mature enough for each other? Do you want the same things? How independent are you and so on.
So I have an opinion about this. Yes that is not the best choice but also I do think it’s disgusting that when someone turns 18 it’s automatically fine. It’s not a big age difference. When I was growing up I still felt like a child at 18. So the people who date someone at 17 what makes it right at 18? It’s a year difference what changes in a year. Does your mind switch to an adult at 18 because I know mine sure didn’t. It’s mind blowing to me.
Man, 18 sucks. Old guys who've known you since you were a kid come out of the woodwork. Guys who are your age are just playing the field. You go out and the law doesn't protect you from drunk old men anymore. Blech.
At 18, I went to a massive comedy show and was picked on by the comedian. He asked how old I was, started calling me "Eighteen", and them joked about taking me to Disney and fucking me after. Completely divided the room. It was so gross.
Exactly! It is crazy to me.
i would avoid generally as there's always the option of some type of manipulation/grooming at that age. Also 16 years old are no where near the same mental place as a 20 year old.
yes absolutely. there isn't anything a 20 year old should have in common with a 16 year old girl. Im 20 years old now and I don't even have the same mindset from when I was 16. Trust me babes if he isn't dating women around his age group it's for a reason. And the reason is he is most likely a loser who wants to control you.
Nothing wrong with it as long as the age of consent is 16 where they are so there are no legal issues
Legally, in a lot of places it is wrong.
Morally? Same with the above.
It’s kind of pushing it, but in my mind the difference between 16 and 20 is pretty negligible considering we all develop at different rates. The law says otherwise though... and young people can be pretty stupid... that being said I think most 16yr old girls are a lot more mature about relationships than 20 year old men lol
It depends on what you want to see your Dad DO to him…or Mom for that matter‼️
Do you have a Prison Wish for your parents going on ⁉️
Whether it's wrong depends on the age of consent in the state the couple lives in, but I can tell you it's always creepy, without a doubt.
The girl is just too young.
I think you should wait until you’re 17. A 4-year age gap isn’t actually wrong at your age, but it’s better when you’re older. Just make sure you don’t get intimate and you’re golden! 😁
Please don’t let the age gap widen any more than that, hon. You’re so young and a 5-year age gap is too much when you’re 16. Okay?
Nope I did it when I was that age and it was the girl that pursued me. Some guys just have white knight syndrome and feel the need to protect every girl from other guy's dicks.
Depends on which state you're in. If you are in SC or Hawaii then have at it. But if the age of consent isn't 16 in your state then he is taking a risk. Nothing is morally wrong with it in my opinion. if you were 20 and he was 24 nobody would blink.
Wait until you get older
For this kind of relationships, you will have a lot of time in your life
Now, for you it’s better to think deeply about your future and try to prepare a good resume to apply for college
Yes. I wouldn’t do it. Your infatuated with his independence, etc. There’s a reason 18 is considered adult.
by the way, don’t you find it weird he’s interested in such young flesh? Pretty sure he’ll dump you for another 16 yr old.
That is way to young , Just wait until you turn 18 .
First question is what is age of consent where they are? Nobody wants a rape charge.
It can work out, may face resistance from others
it makes you wonder why he doesn’t want to be with someone the same age youngest possible is usually the reason emotionally and experience the differences are great.
If it is a sexless romantic relationship, I think it's okay. Otherwise, depending on where you live, this can get messy.
No, it's not fine. You are still a kid. Better wait 2years 🤦♀️
It is an issue of the law. The 20 year old could go to jail. The difference in age is OK but both parties need to be over 18. You will get there in a couple of years. Enjoy your sweet 16ns.
