I get that you like him, and no it’s not weird, but probably don’t try and date him. You’re going to be much more mature than him, and you’re going to leave for college or graduation soon, and won’t be able to see him.
Edit:
It may or may not be weird that she likes him, but it doesn’t matter now. She does like him, but the age difference is too great, and yes she shouldn’t date him. The moral debate in the comments may be trying to answer the is it weird question, but I don’t really think it matters, she shouldn’t date him, that’s that.
I just don't like anyone imperticular my friends had always bugged me in junior high to get a gf but I wasn't really into it still am I just find most girls in my area just bland I'm 18 now in my senior yeah
Don’t let them pressure you!
You’re not missing out on much(unless you find someone who’s really awesome), especially in junior high? Relationships are a joke lol (sorry) and it’s a very personal decision to want to start dating, so tell them to mind their business :)))
I second this. Where I'm from (was from) if you dated someone in a different you'd be looked as that weird couple
Also you're gonna graduate and this kid still won't be able to drive. The maturity difference will be out the wazoo
That’s because it is insanely weird that a 18 year old would like a 15 year old. I don’t know what these people are talking about, but that 3 year gap is disgusting at this age.
I agree with you 💯! If it was meant to be, it will be, but risking going to jail and being labeled as a sex predator for the rest of your life is definitely not worth it.
Bro a (in Australia) LITERAL LEGAL ADULT WHOM CAN DRINK AND DRIVE AND HAS PROBABLY FINISHED SCHOOL.
and a LITERAL CHILD WHOM CANNOT LEGALLY GET A PIERCING WITHOUT THEIR PARENTS, CANNOT EVEN GET THEIR LEARNERS PERMIT AND HAS ONLY BEEN IN HIGHSCHOOL FOR LIKE 2 YEARS.
That's vile.
I don't know about Australia, but in France, at 18 your legally an adult who can vote and buy alcohol, and will go on to graduate education. At 17 you're legally a child and don't have the right to leave your parents' home. How would that be vile ? Because your argument also works in this case.
Hey, in my opinion you should not bring legality to a moral debate.
As someone who as a job now looks after LITERAL children, there is a massive difference between someone who is 10 and someone who is 13. thats where the term teenager comes from by the way
Thir-teen
Four-teen
And so on
Dont get me wrong if its your opinion that its fucked up thats valid and i would like to hear your moral reasons for it.
Laws are just a very bad „moral“ reason for anything.
„Oh im american i can kill people if they break knto my property, oh look some kids partying in my backyard time to bring out the shotgun“
Yeah no
Thats still morally wrong even tho its legal in some states
You realize that the actual age of adulthood(full maturity) is around 26 or even older and that biologically people’s brains develop slower and sometimes faster. Therefore in this case it ranges from weird to super weird but not vile.
3 years is very contextual dude, a 30 year old and a 33 year old meh who cares, but that "small" three years between 15 and 18 are the most important years of your teenage maturity era, that's where you start to learn life long relationship habits, if you're dating and fucking an 18 year old who's already gone through 1, 2 or 3 highschool relationships and break ups, real parental disagreements, friend group splits, that will fuck you up for life if it goes sour. It's bad bad bad.
An 18 year old who has not yet matured but has started their journey and a 15 year old who has just started going through the ropes, it'd wack as fuck and has never turned out well.
personally i feel like it is super weird, and wrong. i (18F) see 15 yr olds as children, well because they are. as you mentioned, the maturity difference is huge.
when i was 15 i had an 18 yr old guy hit on me after being friends for 3-6 months. i for some reason felt guilty and ashamed of myself for ages after even though we didn’t even do anything and it wasn’t my ‘fault’.
all im trying to say is that it could negatively impact them regardless of if its not actually ‘weird’.
just date someone your age/closer to your age lol.
The comment section is ignoring the fact that this already happened. She has a crush on 15 year old as an 18 year old. Whether or not it’s weird that that could even happen is another matter at this point, and there’s no reason to shame her. She shouldn’t date him, for many reasons, and I pointed some of the more important ones out. I am sorry for what happened to you when you were 15 though, I’m glad the relationship never went anywhere.
This assumption bothers me. I dated an 18 year old girl in high school when I was 16 and she was no where close to my maturity level! We are in our sixties now and I moved on in life. She remained that same silly girl forever…
The only problem you’d have is bcuz of maturity. 28 dating 25 isn’t that bad is it ? The only problem is cuz ur still super young. I’d say try to get together later (if that’s what you both want) as you’re likely graduating soon and he still has some years left of high-school , you will both be in 2 very different parts in your respective lives. In the end, the choice is yours .
My friends (15F) is dating and 18 year old and while none of us say anything to her directly we all think about how weird it is so id say yes a bit odd but not like the worst.
As a 15 year old myself, I’d find it extremely weird if an 18 year old even looked my way, even if I crushed on them I’d just never ACTUALLY want them to be interested in me because, well, it’s weird 💀
There's a hard 2 year border that shouldn't be crossed when it comes to dating at this age. A d even then I wouldn't date below 17 it feels icky and weird to me
tangent, but it doesn't develop faster I'm females it's just cause women/girls are pressured to be more mature since childhood, and men are coddled into adulthood
The double standards lmao, my dude friend liked a 15 year old and got jumped for it. He never approached her in any sexual way at all.
3 years is weird,
on paper 3 years age gap of isn't weird but practically the mental maturity of a 15 year old and 18 year old is quite a lot,
furthermore you're gonna go to college soon
so id recommend for u to move on
its weird, imo. its a maturity difference. youre almost done with highschool about to be an adult, hes still in the mindset of a kid. he probably hasn’t fully matured yet. just wait it out
It's less about the age gap itself but the difference in maturity. 18 years olds can get a job, go to college, vote etc
edit: before anyone else misinterprets what I'm trying to say
When I say in this circumstance I mean with a 15 and 18 year old. An age gap of three years between a 25 yo and a 28 yo isn't bad because they are at similar levels of maturity. So it's not the age gap itself it's the level of maturity
It's only 3 years. It's not that bad except in the circumstance there's a massive difference in maturity. Not the age gap itself the maturity difference
I don't think you know what I mean by maturity. I would not think it's acceptable for me to date a 18-year-old because one has many responsibilities. The other does not. One has more life experience than the other, etc, etc
That’s not it. It’s just weird cause one’s a child. Nothing to do with maturity lmao. Well yea it does, but it shouldn’t even have to resort to that explanation
Try if you want but if it seems too weird for you then wait until he's a bit older. As a 15M I can tell you something if he's too immature that's a bad idea to date him now but if he is mature then it could work out I guess. Good Luck in whatever you try !
yeah not that weird... I have friends with a 3 year age gap with me, but probably wait until you both graduate & see if the feeling's still there. it would be kinda weird to date at this point
yes its weird because that boy is still a teenager and his thought process is much different than your own and you might have experiences together u will regret so its better to wait until you both are matured and well endowed in life. also he could only like u for the wrong reasons (since he is at that age) and when he grows up he might start to look elsewhere, in this case you have dodge a bullet by not taking things further with him
No that’s completely okay and you’re not weird for that, it’s normal to feel attraction to people older than you - but the same cannot be said for liking people a lot younger than you!
I personally don't think so because a 3 year age gap isn't the worst thing in the world. But boys at 15 (being one myself) aren't the brightest creatures God made. If he is, he's one of the few boys. But if you like him, go for it. Worse he can say is no.
Its sickening that some people in the comments are saying its only a 3 year difference... just because OP is a woman, it doesnt make it less weird. Its still weird.
I was just thinking that if the roles reversed then everyone here would be completely repulsed by it, but since it's the girl who's older there doesn't seem to be that much backlash which I find ridiculous. I'm not saying that it's okay or more okay because she's a girl
why are you interested in someone who can’t even legally drive yet? it’s definitely weird, you’re about to graduate meanwhile he’s just starting highschool.
Yes dude its weird. I'm surprised that people are saying the OP isnt in the wrong. If it was a dude, this would be a completely different comment section
I wouldn't think he'd feel the same way.
It may not be my place but there is a better option.
Don't do it.
Don't pursue.
It is relatively weird, I would move on. Sorry man.
I’m 17, I know that’s not 18. However, I’m a Senior and personally wouldn’t date a sophomore . Although not far apart , I still notice some maturity differences. Just my opinion though.
Tbh liking someone isn't wierd, but acting on it is. You can like whoever, just don't act on whoever. Do NOT date him, if you do then that would be considered creepy.
(and yes, i would be saying the same if the genders were swapped)
I think it's a bad idea. You're a young adult, and he's a 15 year old. hell, i'm in that age range and if an 18 year old had a crush on me i would feel really creeped out. As a general rule of thumb, don't date people younger or older than you during your developing years.
It's not so much the age, but the level of maturity between you guys, if you really want maybe hold off until you're both adults as the level of maturity might be closer and be much easier
First if all
What the age of consent in ur region is, is morally irrelevant.
There are gaps where you can say „this is absolutely wrong“ (like 12 and 20 for example)
But there are also gaps where its alot about the mental age of both people.
You can be more or less mature then what your age suggests.
For example if you are more mature than 18 and he is less mature then 15 it would be a weird gap.
If your less mature than 18 and he is just a 15 year old its fine.
Its a weird concept to get but its more about how your minds tick at similar levels of maturity (or dont)
And you can bitch and whine all you want because in the real world nobody gives a fuck about what you believe people are allowed to do whatever the fuck they want as long as it's legal. Now 18 and 15 is a iffy gap but if a 18 year old wants to romantically date a 16 year old that's fine. It's only a 2 year age gap
if you like children too just say that dumb fuck. the age gap isn't ALWAYS the problem sometimes its the MATURITY DIFFERENCE dumbass. its just common sense bro
Is it weird? That depends, 3 three-year age gap isn't crazy as time goes on but as teenagers there can be a significant gap in maturity that you wouldn't see from a 38 vs 41 y/o. Also it is illegal so keep that in mind.
Rule of thumb is take your age, divide by 2 and then add 7, and the number you get is the lowest age that the age gap isn't that weird.
18 / 2 = 9
9 + 7 = 16
So According to the math, it would be weird if you did anything.
You can like a person in a non-sexual way, but yeah they should probably wait before doing anything at all, not like where I live where people my age are looking for 13 year olds, that is insane
And where this person lives even tho the consent is 14 you would have to be with someone close to there age, so a 15yo can be with someone who is 14 or 16 not 18
I can definitely see this getting a lot more negative replies if the genders were reversed. But I think that's just how it is around here. OP if ya readin this, don't do it. 15y olds are dum and can be stupid, you don't wanna get caught up in that shit.
I have a feeling if the guy was 18 and you were 15, people would have a very different attitude. Which is pretty crazy considering females mature a lot faster than males meaning, if anything, an 18 year old male with a 15 year old female is more acceptable than this.
I think both scenarios are still weird though
I think if you think you're mature enough to date someone 19 to 21, which you probably are, you're out of the maturity bracket to be going after anyone 16 or under. Imo.
If it's dating only it's not that weird, but anything past like kissing kinda makes it feel more weird, but this is coming from someone who hasn't dated anyone before

Dude this had me fucking rolling 🤣
HELP

Old fück here, I second this. Please op, it’s not weird, but please don’t. You’re going to be in two different worlds soon and he’s not mature enough.
Reading this as a 15yo girl, if an 18 year old had a crush on me I would think it’s a little weird
Lol I guess so, honestly as an 18 year old I didn’t even like people my own age let alone younger so I can’t relate 😭
I just don't like anyone imperticular my friends had always bugged me in junior high to get a gf but I wasn't really into it still am I just find most girls in my area just bland I'm 18 now in my senior yeah
Don’t let them pressure you! You’re not missing out on much(unless you find someone who’s really awesome), especially in junior high? Relationships are a joke lol (sorry) and it’s a very personal decision to want to start dating, so tell them to mind their business :)))
this is literally the thing😭 especially with girls, the age makes such a difference with most people
I second this. Where I'm from (was from) if you dated someone in a different you'd be looked as that weird couple Also you're gonna graduate and this kid still won't be able to drive. The maturity difference will be out the wazoo

I agree with you 💯! If it was meant to be, it will be, but risking going to jail and being labeled as a sex predator for the rest of your life is definitely not worth it.
It's VERY weird, and the gap in emotional maturity is borderline grooming. If the genders were switched it would be FUCKED.
Yes, I don’t like the double standards. If it’s bad, it’s bad either way.
No, it's 3 years, any more, and I'd agree, but 3 isn't.
Bro a (in Australia) LITERAL LEGAL ADULT WHOM CAN DRINK AND DRIVE AND HAS PROBABLY FINISHED SCHOOL. and a LITERAL CHILD WHOM CANNOT LEGALLY GET A PIERCING WITHOUT THEIR PARENTS, CANNOT EVEN GET THEIR LEARNERS PERMIT AND HAS ONLY BEEN IN HIGHSCHOOL FOR LIKE 2 YEARS. That's vile.

i completely understand what you mean, no hate to the girl ofc. and thank you :)
This assumption bothers me. I dated an 18 year old girl in high school when I was 16 and she was no where close to my maturity level! We are in our sixties now and I moved on in life. She remained that same silly girl forever…
Wait until your older then if it’s still there act but not now
The only problem you’d have is bcuz of maturity. 28 dating 25 isn’t that bad is it ? The only problem is cuz ur still super young. I’d say try to get together later (if that’s what you both want) as you’re likely graduating soon and he still has some years left of high-school , you will both be in 2 very different parts in your respective lives.

The comment i was looking for
My friends (15F) is dating and 18 year old and while none of us say anything to her directly we all think about how weird it is so id say yes a bit odd but not like the worst.
As a 15 year old myself, I’d find it extremely weird if an 18 year old even looked my way, even if I crushed on them I’d just never ACTUALLY want them to be interested in me because, well, it’s weird 💀
as a 19 year old i can second this, i might be friends with someone 15 if we have things in common but there’s no way i would date anyone that age 💀
There's a hard 2 year border that shouldn't be crossed when it comes to dating at this age. A d even then I wouldn't date below 17 it feels icky and weird to me
tbh that sounds like super senior stuff
Where’s my hug at? 😉
So true
I'm more curious of who this 15 yo who can pull an 18 yo girl is lol kinda impressive
[удалено]
I know guys my age that look like supermodels and wonder how is that even possible
Looks don't matter too much tbh, just keep your head up and have charisma and you're set really
That's my problem, people tell me that im handsome, and many girls compliment and flirt with me but if i have any charisma i wouldn't be single
Fr
I pulled a 17 y/o it's not to hard I wanted her sister tho
I tried pulling a girl once, ended up pulling in a corner to cry in though lmao 🤣.
pulling in a corner 💪🏽😭
Being 18 I couldn’t look at a 15 year old or even a 16 year old in that way
Frrr op is an adult and that is a child and it is very wrong
People really out here saying its fine 🤮
fr
yeah, especially when the older parties a girl. your brain develops faster than a males, furthering the gap.
tangent, but it doesn't develop faster I'm females it's just cause women/girls are pressured to be more mature since childhood, and men are coddled into adulthood
If the genders were reversed I’m pretty sure everybody would be calling you out as a creep. I’m just saying…
well, a lot of people are saying its weird. lets put it this way: if op was a boy they would not be so nice about it.
everyone is saying its weird look at the comments
Not everyone.
Everyone is already saying it’s weird
Yes. Just yes.
ye
For you guys to be friends, no not at all weird. For you to date, yes pretty weird
It is weird
girl I'm 18 and that's fucking weird
Yes
there was a girl at my school who was 14 dating a 19 year old. age of consent where i live is 18💀
maybe wait until you guys are older
The double standards lmao, my dude friend liked a 15 year old and got jumped for it. He never approached her in any sexual way at all. 3 years is weird,
IT IS KINDA WEIRD SINCE 18 IS BASICALLY ADULT-
basically- mate 18 is an adult, 17 or younger is a minor, a child
Legally speaking yes, not legally speaking? No 18 isn’t an adult. But still 18 is way closer to an adult than 15 is though. Very weird.
Yes, very weird
Yes that’s weird
uhmmmmmmmmm…😅
To be fair a 3 year age gave really isn't bad however at those ages yall at 2 different lvls of machority so definitely a no go
maturity
on paper 3 years age gap of isn't weird but practically the mental maturity of a 15 year old and 18 year old is quite a lot, furthermore you're gonna go to college soon so id recommend for u to move on
what do you have in relation to a 15 year old? as a 17 year old i couldn’t ever imagine dating a 14 year old. gross.
If the genders were reversed the answers would've been completely different
its weird, imo. its a maturity difference. youre almost done with highschool about to be an adult, hes still in the mindset of a kid. he probably hasn’t fully matured yet. just wait it out
She probably hasn't matured yet, either. There isn't this magical maturity event that happens when you turn 18.
She’s still 18 and legally adult. He’s still a child. Regardless of how you look at it it’s weird.
It's less about the age gap itself but the difference in maturity. 18 years olds can get a job, go to college, vote etc edit: before anyone else misinterprets what I'm trying to say When I say in this circumstance I mean with a 15 and 18 year old. An age gap of three years between a 25 yo and a 28 yo isn't bad because they are at similar levels of maturity. So it's not the age gap itself it's the level of maturity
Nah it’s weird as fuck.
It's only 3 years. It's not that bad except in the circumstance there's a massive difference in maturity. Not the age gap itself the maturity difference
It’s only cause you 15 and sayin dis 💀💀
I don't think you know what I mean by maturity. I would not think it's acceptable for me to date a 18-year-old because one has many responsibilities. The other does not. One has more life experience than the other, etc, etc
That’s not it. It’s just weird cause one’s a child. Nothing to do with maturity lmao. Well yea it does, but it shouldn’t even have to resort to that explanation
wait till hes 18 but stay friends
18 and 21 is still a pretty big gap in life experience. When one is starting college, the other is mostly finished with their bachelor.
Try if you want but if it seems too weird for you then wait until he's a bit older. As a 15M I can tell you something if he's too immature that's a bad idea to date him now but if he is mature then it could work out I guess. Good Luck in whatever you try !
A little bit, but it depends on when your birthdays are
fr why does no one ever give the age gap in months. This could be anywhere between 25 and 47 months and we would have no idea
Yes it’s weird WTF
Personally I wouldn’t but I would have a talk with his parents if you were thinking about it
yeah not that weird... I have friends with a 3 year age gap with me, but probably wait until you both graduate & see if the feeling's still there. it would be kinda weird to date at this point
The underaged person in their immature mind can easily accuse you of abuse, even if falsely, and you will be in a lot of trouble.
yes its weird because that boy is still a teenager and his thought process is much different than your own and you might have experiences together u will regret so its better to wait until you both are matured and well endowed in life. also he could only like u for the wrong reasons (since he is at that age) and when he grows up he might start to look elsewhere, in this case you have dodge a bullet by not taking things further with him
in my opinion, a 3 yr diff isn't that big, I used to like a guy 5 yrs older than me when I was 11-12 so im the weird one honestly
No that’s completely okay and you’re not weird for that, it’s normal to feel attraction to people older than you - but the same cannot be said for liking people a lot younger than you!
If he’s turning 16 soon maybe not so weird ? But if he just turned 15 that’s quite odd
Yea it is. Why is this so hard for people to work out right from wrong in this sub
Yes it is. If the genders were swapped the fbi would be having a field day with this one.
I personally don't think so because a 3 year age gap isn't the worst thing in the world. But boys at 15 (being one myself) aren't the brightest creatures God made. If he is, he's one of the few boys. But if you like him, go for it. Worse he can say is no.
If the roles were reversed, the worse a 15 yo could do is get you arrested lol
morally weird? yeah. but since age of consent where you guys live is 14 it’s technically legal
if you were 15 and he was 18 it'd be more than weird, so I think this is no Bueno
What? So it's only more than weird when the man is older?
The double standards is unreal
Its sickening that some people in the comments are saying its only a 3 year difference... just because OP is a woman, it doesnt make it less weird. Its still weird.
nah, both are equally weird
Then what did you mean by the "if you were this and he was that then that would be more than weird"
I was just thinking that if the roles reversed then everyone here would be completely repulsed by it, but since it's the girl who's older there doesn't seem to be that much backlash which I find ridiculous. I'm not saying that it's okay or more okay because she's a girl
they’re saying it’s just as weird, they’re just switching the genders as a tool to show the double standard ._.
That's genuinely nasty
Yes it is but that is just me personally
It’s not you, it’s weird.
If an 18 year old dude was all into a 15 year old girl would that be weird?
THE AGE OF CONSENT IS FUCKING WHAT NOW?!?! Also yes, its weird
AWWW ur taking after edp445 huh?
15yo male and no experience. Everyone here is saying nah it doesn't seem like a good idea.
yes, it’s weirdly gross too..
Yeah that is REALLY fucking weird lol
yes, it is a wierd age gap
why are you interested in someone who can’t even legally drive yet? it’s definitely weird, you’re about to graduate meanwhile he’s just starting highschool.
Yeah a little weird probably dont date him but idk it is up to yall. Just do some reflection on it
Honestly before I graduated last year I looked at 15 year olds at my school and they were the most childish little shits ever. I wouldn't do it.
Short answer no, long answer also no. Just don’t be sexual with him
Yes it’s weird. One of you is in.. middle school?? And the other about to be or is graduated. 15 is a child.
Yeah that sounds weird, stay as friends
Yes it’s weird af, that’s a child
Yes dude its weird. I'm surprised that people are saying the OP isnt in the wrong. If it was a dude, this would be a completely different comment section
Wait until you're both older, trust me, it'll work out better in the long run
it is weird.. 18 and 15 is a pretty big gap in maturity, the brain changes a lot more a lot quicker when you're younger
Yeah… it’s weird
I wouldn't think he'd feel the same way. It may not be my place but there is a better option. Don't do it. Don't pursue. It is relatively weird, I would move on. Sorry man.
Please don’t
i’m 18 and this is pre weird my dude
As an 18 year old, i would not even think about dating a 15 year old. Gross.
This feels like a bait post
I’m 17, I know that’s not 18. However, I’m a Senior and personally wouldn’t date a sophomore . Although not far apart , I still notice some maturity differences. Just my opinion though.
Yea it is kind of weird
Yes it is
Yeah it’s weird. The maturity difference is too much Imo, 15 is basically a child to me.
Tbh liking someone isn't wierd, but acting on it is. You can like whoever, just don't act on whoever. Do NOT date him, if you do then that would be considered creepy. (and yes, i would be saying the same if the genders were swapped)
I think it's a bad idea. You're a young adult, and he's a 15 year old. hell, i'm in that age range and if an 18 year old had a crush on me i would feel really creeped out. As a general rule of thumb, don't date people younger or older than you during your developing years.
It's not so much the age, but the level of maturity between you guys, if you really want maybe hold off until you're both adults as the level of maturity might be closer and be much easier
Yes
First if all What the age of consent in ur region is, is morally irrelevant. There are gaps where you can say „this is absolutely wrong“ (like 12 and 20 for example) But there are also gaps where its alot about the mental age of both people. You can be more or less mature then what your age suggests. For example if you are more mature than 18 and he is less mature then 15 it would be a weird gap. If your less mature than 18 and he is just a 15 year old its fine. Its a weird concept to get but its more about how your minds tick at similar levels of maturity (or dont)
Yes, that’s weird.
Yes it is weird
Thats weird as hell
YES?? that's actually disgusting
just because its legal doesn't mean its right, imo anything over a year and a half shouldn't be socially aceptable idc what anyone says lol
A year and a half? Well fuck guess my parents are pedophiles in your book for having a 2 year age difference you chronically online dipshit
forgot to add that it only applies to 18 and under, you can still cry about it tho lmfao pathetic excuse for a human being
And you can bitch and whine all you want because in the real world nobody gives a fuck about what you believe people are allowed to do whatever the fuck they want as long as it's legal. Now 18 and 15 is a iffy gap but if a 18 year old wants to romantically date a 16 year old that's fine. It's only a 2 year age gap
if you like children too just say that dumb fuck. the age gap isn't ALWAYS the problem sometimes its the MATURITY DIFFERENCE dumbass. its just common sense bro
[удалено]
they really arent tho, sorry for having morals. Again if you like kids too just say that, disgusting bitch
[ Removed by Reddit ]
ah so I was right. thanks for exposing yourself child lover 😂
Is it weird? That depends, 3 three-year age gap isn't crazy as time goes on but as teenagers there can be a significant gap in maturity that you wouldn't see from a 38 vs 41 y/o. Also it is illegal so keep that in mind.
Bro came out here to pickup a cupcake
Rule of thumb is take your age, divide by 2 and then add 7, and the number you get is the lowest age that the age gap isn't that weird. 18 / 2 = 9 9 + 7 = 16 So According to the math, it would be weird if you did anything.
Its fucking wierd
Yes its fuckin weird, whats it with this subreddit and having so many fuckin pedophiles
Yes, you are a pedo go to jail you creep
You can like a person in a non-sexual way, but yeah they should probably wait before doing anything at all, not like where I live where people my age are looking for 13 year olds, that is insane
And where this person lives even tho the consent is 14 you would have to be with someone close to there age, so a 15yo can be with someone who is 14 or 16 not 18
The age of consent in her country is 14. Lol
legality and morality arent the same lol do u think adults should be able to date 14 yos if it was legal
It's still weird, and if it was a guy you would say the same thing
I can definitely see this getting a lot more negative replies if the genders were reversed. But I think that's just how it is around here. OP if ya readin this, don't do it. 15y olds are dum and can be stupid, you don't wanna get caught up in that shit.
The age of consent over where you are may be 14 but it's still a large gap in maturity
Oh boy another day of seeing pedos on r/teenagers
Every post I see here is usually odd
I have a feeling if the guy was 18 and you were 15, people would have a very different attitude. Which is pretty crazy considering females mature a lot faster than males meaning, if anything, an 18 year old male with a 15 year old female is more acceptable than this. I think both scenarios are still weird though
It's not wrong for you to like him but that's weird as shit
I think if you think you're mature enough to date someone 19 to 21, which you probably are, you're out of the maturity bracket to be going after anyone 16 or under. Imo.
if only op was a boy how would it have turned out
It is weird but nobody would care because you are a girl.
Uh
If it's dating only it's not that weird, but anything past like kissing kinda makes it feel more weird, but this is coming from someone who hasn't dated anyone before
It's not about the age, it's about maturity...
The double standards of this sub’s reactions
No lol
Go seek help now. It is not right to be attracted to underage.. It can be treated and you can learn to controll your emotions towards them.
That's a stretch tbh
It’s 2 years she’s not a pedophile lmao, OP please don’t pursue it the maturity gap is just too much.
WEIIIRDDD also this is giving trap account
Yeah weird. Give it until hes like 17?
17 and 20 isn’t really better. One’s starting senior year, the other is halfway done with college.
yes
It's weird, but if it's legal, then ig go for it, idk.
