If you are above the legal age of consent, there is nothing morally or ethically wrong.

It might still be frowned upon by the prudes of this world to even think a 16 year old girl knows 'gasp!' how to have a relationship and/or sex without feeling guilty about it.

But if the legal age is 16, as it is where I live, then there isn't even the slightest thing anyone can say or do about it.

So tell your parents. If they are any sort of parents they'll be angry, my word yes, but will support you.

eyeswideopen agony auntFirst off,sneaking around behind your dad's back is no way to have a realationship. Secondly, this guy knows what he is doing is wrong and that's why he wants to keep it on the QT. Make your dad proud and dump the perv.

Okay well if you know your dad would flip out, then you probaly shouldnt be dating this guy. I know if my daughter dated someone 7 years older then her at your age i would be very very very upset. There is something wrong with a 23 yr old man dating a 16 year old girl. Want to kno wat i think is wrong with that....no effense but hes a MAN and your only still a GIRL. He's an adult and your not, he should have to wiat for you to become an adult, before dating because inicent dating with a 23 yr old man often becomes a little more, sex. Good luck hope you make the right chocies.
