Being Able to Have a Relationship With Someone 18 Years old and Being a Minor

Tell everyone what you think about being able to have a relationship with someone 18 years old and being a minor.
Whether you are for it, or not, you opinion is more than welcome.

I'm all for it because I'm engaged to an eighteen year old who I love very very much. People tell me I'm too young to know what love is, but love comes in all shapes and sizes. In my opinion, as long as they don't have sex or anything it's fine, but that's how I feel about all unmarried relationships. -shrugs-

nah I don't think you're too young to know love, but I do think 15 is too young to be engaged. You're life is just starting, you probably live with your parents and are underestimating real life. you shouldnt get engaged till you're a proper adult. Enjoy your relationship and your youth first. (and I'm not trying to be an ass)

on topic: it depends on the age of the minor, like when one off them is 18 and the other is like 13 then, to me, that just seems wrong. But when the other is like 16/17 then I don't really see a problem with that.

yeah, i agree with you. a couple of years apart isn't that bad. a lot of married couples are about a year, give or take, apart.

Okay, I don't think age really makes a difference... my best friend's parents are like 10 years apart and they've been married for a long time. (going back to the actual topic) I get that it's like "illegal" or whatever for an 18 year old to be with a minor, especially a sexual relationship, but in my opinion, I don't find it that bad.

if the person is 16 or 17 it's not a big deal, but any yougner i think that it's wrong.

I think it's fine if its rasonable.

I don't think that a 15 year old and a 20 year old should.

But is like, 17 and 20 years old that werid?

Think about it, when the 17yo is 20 the 20yo will only be 23,
And no one would think that to be weird,

When you figure it all out mathmaticly it's not so weird anymore.
It just sounds weird when you think of a "teenager' and "adult" together.

But when you just think of a coupe the same amout of years apart at a older age not everything seems so weird anymore.

I have a bit of a crush on my next door neighbour whos 19 and Im obviously only 14. I think its wrong, he's nice to me and everything but I wouldnt ever do anything about it...

I guess it's not weird, but I think anyone that's 15 or younger is pushing it... I was in a "serious relationship" at that age, and there's no way I could have spent my life with that guy. I just don't think it's worth tying yourself down to someone so young. I've changed so much since then, and I think the "freedom" of being single helps.

I've been with my boyfriend for over a year now and he's eighteen. He's a real sweetie.
My parents have no problem with me dating this guy. Honestly, I believe you can date an eighteen year old, just no sexy stuff. xD

I think if you're over 15 ((in the range of 15-17)) dating someone thats 18 or 19 isnt THAT big of deal. Unless your 'rentals are like super strict. SO I don't really think it's a problem.

I'm 21 and I still ask my parents if I can date a certain guy because I don't want them to be mad. They like my boyfriend.

But their disapproval wouldnt change the way you feel now would it? but luckily thats not the case

One of my friends is 15 and having a relationship with an 18 year old. They seem happy and their parents approve, apart from the girls dad whos completely mad and ignores the guy just 'cause he's older. I mean, they would get in a lot of trouble if they got caught doing the things they do but they love eachother and nobody's dissaproval is going to change their feelings, no matter what someone says they can't stop you from loving someone, but if it's your parents they might be able to stop you from seeing them.

I would date i guy even 10 years younger but then he still wouldn't be a minor. In the netherlands the law says that there is the matter of age difference. 15 year old with an 18 year old is not a problem as long as there in an equal relationship, i think that in a way is the key word, equal!! If the older one doesn't use being older to push the younger one in to behavior there not ready for its okay. If the age difference is to big (a 13 year old with a 30 year old, or someting) i would doubt the motives of the older person.

My girlfriend's under 16 and we've never had a problem until she started primary school this week.

Some people just don't understand.
