Dear cupid, my boyfriend is 17 and I am 13 and my birthday is cmoing up in june and I will be 14, then he turns 18 in sepember. We dont have sex, we are just a young couple who hug allot, but our parents are un aware of the relationship, and he said we should split up because he doesnt want to get pedophile charges. He says he still really likes me though, and I really like him, but we dont know what to do. Are there any laws or age restrictions that would consider him to be a pedophile in the state of kentucky?

I think the a of concent should be at - (18) for Both Straight And Homosexuals. 14 to 17 is too young to be rushing into Sexual Relationships, Especially NOT with an ADULT. It is OK if an 18 or 19 year-old went out with a 16 or 17 year-old. But 20 to 24 year-olds are too old for teenage kids, although you are young men and women at 14 to 17, you are NOT Adult men and women until you are 18...

And 25 to 45 is a Mid-young-adults, 45-49 year-olds are Late-young-adults, even though they are young they are definately too old for you and Midlle-aged - (50-69) and Young-OAPs - (70-89)is even more of a NO NO, there not just too old for you, there are even too old for me. And Senior-OAPs - (90 somethings to 100+) are Positively Ancient.

I kinda agree with the other response. He would be considered as a pedophile no matter how much you or he argues, otherwise he will be seen as one. the other problems you will get is if he decides to go out to the pub or a club and you cant get in, trust me its extremely embarrassing. he is probably interested in doing things that you wouldnt even be thinking about yet. you still have got a lot of growing up to do and i dont mean that by saying your immature cos im sure you are mature, what i mean is your mind and your world has to develop and ive found that this is a lot smoother and easier to do with someone your own age.

i dated someone who was a few years old and i always felt left out. he would go out to the pub with his mates and i couldnt, i was 14 and he was 20. in the end he jus felt so old for me so i ended it and started a relationship a few years later with someone my age and it has worked really well for both of us, we are experiencing things together at the same speed, simple things such as starting to drive and taking out driving tests around the same time, being at college, getting our first full time job.

secrets are not good things to keep but you are going to experience so many problems when people find out either by you telling them how old he is or if they find out. its better to be honest and earn peoples respect than to experience the anger and disrespect of not being honest

When I was 15, i went out with a 19 year old.When my parents found out they went bonkers.At the time I thought they wanted to ruin my life and hated them for not letting me see him again. But, now i am older (21) i can see what they were going on about. I would never date someone who was 15-simply coz they aren't even done growing yet!Also,you may think you know who you are now and think you know whats best but believe me hon,you don't and this relationship cannot last.He should know better-if he loved you at all he would let you have your childhood.There will be plenty of time to find a nice guy once you have done all the things you need to do now.

I don't know where you live, but in most English speaking countries, he has no business dating you. You are below the age of concent, and what he is doing makes him a pedophile- that is, a Child Molester ! Stop it. We all know why you are attracted to him. We don't understand his attraction to you. Why isn't he dating someone his own age? No insult is meant towards you. But you are a child, and you should be allowed to have whatever is left of your childhood. It this man is still Mr. Wonderful when you turn 18, date him then.

Well if you are doing anything more than dating, it's probably illegal (depending on where you live).
