Would a 5-year age difference bother you?

Age is a guidance of maturity. It means little, however, being 16 you've got more things than love to focus on, and the age difference is quite large. Be very careful, don't get into a situation which will result in heartbreak...

um... i think that's weird... so i'd vote dont do it, k?

yeh i think that's weird but it is your decision...x x x

i thought that was illegal??? wow, i'm confused ^_^'' oh well if u love each other a lot, i vote yes! no that it counts, i know......:'-(

You have to question the maturity of that 20 year old, or anyone that is in there 20s dating someone under the age of 18.

A 15 year old should not be in a relationship with a 20 year old MAN....it's simply barbaric.

For one thing, it's not illegal as long as there is no sex of any kind with one another. One could say it depends on the maturity of the younger person, but I don't know. (Agreeing with Ryan) I would have to question why a 20 year old is with a 15 year old but even though when I was 13 I went out with an 18 year old...I still don't know. Love...maybe, hard to say at such an age, difficult to know at least. At first, it was just little flirtations but later he visited my parents and they got along with him. Only thing was that one of them would have to be near us on the date. So, if you can't let your parents know what you and the 20 year old were doing then, or formally introduce the 20 year old...it's wrong and the relationship won't last anyway. I would consider the safty of the relationship first. Set your bounds and make certain...if you actually want this relationship to have any future, that for now at least an adult you know and trust is supervising your date. This is all in assuming that you don't plan for sex or even possible abuse, which is illegal, in this relationship. All in all I don't believe a 15 year old should be in a relationship with a 20 year old but...in doing the right things as such letting your parents/guardians know, it could be welcomed.

-P.S. and if love is even in this equation...why not say so? Just a thought. Being shameful or secretive in or about a relationship that is supposedly healthy ...means you know it's wrong but more so trying to convince yourself otherwise and you question this more than any other could. Know what you want, ok? Slow down and take some time.

Take care

I agree. At that age most guys only have one thing on their minds. You should be careful. You are 15 turning 16. In my opinion you shouldn't loose your virginity at that age. Anyways age difference really doesn't matter but a 15 year old with a 20 year old. In a way that seems too old. It all depends on how you feel about him.

I think that any 20 year old looking at a 15 year old has some issues in the first place but i could be wrong .

I think that with this age difference it would matter unlike a 30 and a 35 year old .. at this age it makes a difference. You cant drive yet and hes off drinking and doing whatever he pleases per say.

Im not saying dont do it but i think that you will notice the age difference. 20 year olds have different priorties than 16 year olds.

Its your choice however I dont think it would be smart and i bet your parents dont think so either.

oh my gosh i know how you feel im 15 annd the one i love is 21 i dont know how hwe feels bout me but i believe that God intanded love to be well wonderful no matter what age I dont think He cares as long as you are following your heart but no sex aabsolutly nothing casue i know you wouldnt what to get in trouble but there is qoute "age is a matter of mind, if you dont mind iit doesnt matter" it is okay to love right now deeply careful so you dont get into a rough situation talk to your parents it is up to them in what almost two years you can be with him cause you going tp make your own decisions im praying for you i knoew how hard it can be and how much you have to sacrifice. im made fun of

Age doesn't matter as long as you are old enough that it is not going to come back to haunt you in one form or another. In many states it's illegal for any kind of relationship between someone over 18 and anyone under 17. But if you love him, I'd wait. Give it time. Eventually, that five years won't be as big of a deal, and you can give it a shot then.

He. Wants. Sex.

not when your older but at 15?....

well said britt. I couldn't agree with you more

but there are different guys ones that may actually love and would never want to hurt you you cant tell me there arent ones like that causeit aint true God made some like that so yeah there are good guys but you know the who are the ones who love you so much theyd wait for you of couse theyd live life but theyd wait thatis great and love is about waiting for that one and then going after itso yeah

thats bad
