What do you think boys and girls...

...If a guy is 20 and a girl is 15, is the age difference too big for dating at that age?

In some countries this would even be against the law. But what do you think from a moral point of view?

That reminds me of a 19 year old boy who was given charges for statuatory rape after he had sex with his 17 year old girlfriend.
Both of them agreed to have sex, but when the parents found out that she did, the parents of the girl pressed charges against the boyfriend.

A very fucked up situtation if you ask me. What do you guys think about this?

P.S. There's nothing wrong with a 20 year old dating a 15 year old girl. Some say that relationships where there's too much age difference could lead to something bad. I think it depends on how mature both of them are. After all 15 and 20 are just numbers.

Yeah, that is simply terrible. It's just like the hooker who got fake money and when she was told that the money is fake she shouted "Oh my God! I have been raped" :-)

hmm, hard question, i'm in that position right now, the girl i like, she's 14, she even invited me to her "quince años" but i'm 19, it will be tough, but she doesn't care and i will not do anything to her, she's jail bait, i don't make sense , i know

I can understand 17, maybe 16, but come on, 14's just a kid!

"14's just a kid!"

the other day I saw a 11 yr old and 12 yr old girls buying lingerie!! *shocked*
damn, that was funny as well as weird

There are 14-year-old who look like they could be your mother. Still I think that 14 is too young, but 15 is ok. That one year is in most cases quit important (girl->young woman).

In my opinion a 15 yr old shouldn't date a 20 yr old. But I would never condemn anyone who did it. It's not my business. I wouldn't allow my 15 yr old daughter to date a 20 yr old. I also wouldn't allow my 15 yr old son to date a 20 yr old woman. I just have to wonder what they would have in common. When I was 20, I was graduating from college. When I was 15 I had just gotten my driver's permit. So for me, that age gap is a little to large to have anything in common. You never know though.

It is against the law where I live for a 15 yr old to date a 20 yr old anyway, not that it doesn't happen. You really can't choose who you fall in love with though I guess.

Personally, that's too big of an age difference for me... 15 and 20. 15 and 17 are good! 15 and 16! 15 and 15! But once you get past 18, it's a different mentality... at least that's what I think.

I don't think that 5 years of age difference is that big deal.

It's not a problem when 20 y old and 25 y old are dating

But yeah, 15 is too young for 20 y old
Still a child

I'm in a situation where one of best friends, who is 15 years old, is dating a 19 year old, he turns 20 in two months. Personally I don't apporve of this cause its roughly a five year difference and I thinky my friend isn't mature enough for it. If they were both in their 20s I would see less of a problem with it.

Not something I would go for, Being 20 myself. That would be like dating one of my sister's friends...

NO
THANK

Science has proven that the teenage mind is still in crucial development until approximately age 16. Of course it varies by individual case, just as the onset of puberty for example. However to be safe, 16 is a good age to stick with.

Prior to this time, these young people are experiencing all kinds of confusing changes, feelings, learning to become young adults. The introduction of a mature sexual relationship and the baggage that carries with it simply shouldn't be put upon them until they're past this stage.

While they may think they want such a relationship, it's not a good idea to mix an adult who has completed this stage, with a young person who has yet to complete it.

You have to get past the whole 'she looks older' nonsense. It holds no weight either psychologically or legally.

What about a 15 year old and a 10 year old? Then five years makes a big difference. It's a curve--the younger you are, proportionately the age differences will be greater, physically, mentally, etc. But once you reach 20's, I suppose, you are pretty much who you are. So 15 and 20 is a bit much.
