Hello, I'm 15 years old, and a 19 years old guy likes me. He's really nice and respectful. I'm becoming interested in him, But I'm thinking it's not right of me. Is this guy too old?

Hello, I've posted a question here recently, But another one just came to mind. I'm 15 years old, and a 19 year old guy likes me, I'm becoming interested in him. He's a very respectful person, very funny and nice. If we dated, would we get in trouble, since I'm a minor? Even if we don't have intercourse? Could we even get in trouble for kissing?

Emmajane agony auntIt's no age gap at all really, so take it carefully and see how it goes.

HI. This is only my oppinion, but if it's really love, age does not matter. My parents are almost ten years appart in age, but that makes no difference how the public sees them. They love eachother, and that's enough. I also don't think that that's too much of a gap, either. If you do decide he's right for you, then go ahead.

I'm 18, and my boyfriend is 33. The older you get, the less significant the age difference seems. You can't get in trouble unless you have intercourse. Just make sure he's in the place for a relationship right now. At his age, he could move away for work or college. In 2 years, he can legally drink, and you can't go with him. You probably aren't driving yet, so you'll need to get reliable transportation to see him. These are just consideraions, though. The relationship can definitely work.

I personally don't think its too much of an age gap...but then again everyone's opinion will differ!

If he is respectful and simply a nice guy then I think it would be alright. But perhaps you should just get to know him a bit better first - and like loops said: take it slow at first, and if eventually you went out with him then it would be fine so long as you were just dating.

Have you asked your parents what they would think about it - because it is important to still have them trust you.

Hope it all goes well x x x

Hello,

Well actually I don´t believe he is too old, I mean from 15 to 19 there is not much gap, if you were falling in love with a guy like me 27..that´s a different story, but 19 is no too old, when you mean respectful you mean he does not pay you attention the way you want?

Regards,

Just due to legality it may be wise to wait a while, he is not too old as such, as there is only a 4 year age difference between you, but unfortunatley in your teens, and even early 20's, even sometimes later, a few years can mean the difference between different life experiences and thus as a result maturity. I'm not saying dont get to know this guy, he is nice to you and respectful there is nothing wrong with that, but take it slow due to the fact you are very young, the chances are you both want different things etc etc cos of the difference between a 19 and a 15 year old, no matter how mature you are ( and you seem quite mature for your age).

Give it time, give yourself time, get to know him, but dont rush into anything.

Good luck
