I met my first long term boyfriend when he was 15 and I was 17. We stayed together for 14 years, and had 2 kids together. I don’t see anything wrong with it. The difference in age didn’t seem significant at all.

I wouldn't say so. I dated a 19 year old when I was 13 and didn't have any problems

Yes she is a slut

It's okay.When 17 year old guys date 14 year old girls it is accepted.So it works both ways.At 14 I was having sex with my 17 year old boyfriend.

A very lucky boy :)

When I was 13 I dated a 16 year old girl

Maybe a little fishy, but it depends on the situation. Like I briefly dated a 32 year old when I was 16, and it was perfectly fine, but my friend dated a 25 year old when he was 15 and it didn't end well, so it really depends

As long as no one's forcing anybody, they know the boundaries and there's respectable adult supervision, then probably

3 years difference isn't that significant at that age, if she's a little immature then there's no real difference.

Nothing wrong with that. If the girl accepted the date, then she must like your cousin well enough. Her decision.

not fishy but unusual for an older girl to date a younger boy normally the other way round what a lucky boy

For now it's okay but when she turns 18 and he is 15, and when she is 19 and he is 16, if she has sex with him she could jail. She better leave him alone until he is 18 and she is 22

Lots of people have lots of different opinions on this and I dont think there's any hard and fast right or wrong here.

However, psychologically speaking the pace of development of emotional maturity and life experience (aka worldly wise) is very fast between the ages of 13-18 - this means that while generally speaking they are in the same age bracket - in terms of maturity a 14 year old is entirely different to a 17 year old, ditto a 15 year old compared to an 18 year old.. etc..

In this way, it's relatively rare that children have much in common with young people a year or so older and equally find those a year below them relatively immature.

We know an 18 year old is considered an adult - whereas a 15 year old isn't..

yeah, she's about to be in college. meanwhile, he's most likely in or almost out of middle school. Once she turns 18 she's legally an adult and can be charged and placed under Megan's law. why can't she find someone her age?

I don't know. My little brother is fourteen and I don't think I'd be happy if he was dating a 17-year-old. Legally, I suppose it's fine now, but once the girl turns 18, there might be issues.

Yeah that pedo

she a little fucked up in the head for age 🤷🏻‍♂️

My mom and dad were married many man years ago, my dad was 21 and she was 16. There wasn't anything perverted about it way back when, they were in love. My dad was in the Army at the time and she worked on base, that's how they met. Try that nowadays and you'll get tossed in jail. Perceptions have changed.

No. Happens quite a bit.

That would depend on a lot of factors. Let's face it a lot of 17yo boys want to date 14 & 15yo girls and nobody really cares.

I dunno. I'm 7 yrs older than both of my two ex's. I never dated anyone in my teens so don't really know what the 'ethics' of it are. Is there anything wrong with two people dating despite being 3 yrs difference in age? I'm guessing the concern here is that there's going to be sex involved and some people are of the blinked god-bothered view that because they are both non-adults and probably not aware of the concept of 'consent' that it's 'unethical'... Does that seem right?

No age is just a number cant help who your attracted to .If he was 18 and she was 21 no one would even bother about it .If their happy thats all that matters .

I wouldn't think it was odd, the older girls liked me when I was 14 but it's usually the other way around

I don't see anything wrong with it, if that's what they want

I guess it would depend on when he’s carrying his pants. When I was 18 the 17 year old girl I was dating I was a little frayed to have a complete go with me. Put a 40-year-old mother sure gave it a try

been there

That boy must be strapped!

i do not allow myself to discuss such topics

No. They are in the same age group

No it is normal

Only time will tell

Very lucky boy :)

Lucky boy

{@wendylopez43 . maybe i am missing something on this one or but being niave . why is there a hidden gender involved on part of the seventeen year old to arouse suspicion on your part

nope it would be if it was the other way around

Did she lose a bet

i don't think its unusual at all

I don't really think so.

Not in this day and age...

Well .. it's different.

Lucky boy

Is there some other context involved? Is is just her wanting a date to a dance or there some long term (for an adolescent) relationship blooming here?

Yes.

I wonder what the 17 year old is thinking?

Yes . He's too young for that gap right now.

He wants to pound her cheeks

It’s cool. Is he going to score?
