A male United States age 36-40, *CTigerMan writes:

I am 24 years old. There this girl that is 16 years old that I am attracted to.

Part of me want to see if there is a chance to see if they is a chance at us hooking up, but part of me says we are too different. There is the age difference and there is a religion difference (one being Catholic and the other being atheist).

Even through we have a lot of stuff that makes us different, there is a lot that we have in common: We both love reading, dancing, sports, camping, other outdoors stuff, est.

Would it be wrong for me to see if there is something there? If not, what age should she be in Louisiana before I see if there is Chemistry between us?

A male reader, anonymous, writes (5 February 2009):

It all depends on the Age of Consent laws in your state (in most of America it is set at the rediculous age of 16).

If it is 16 and doesn't have that dumb thing about only eing able to sleep with someone a certain amount older than you... then you should be fine.

If it is 18, then you'll either have to keep your traps shut about it or just wait it out.

Most countries in the world, most Western ones at any rate, hold 16 as old enough to decide if you want a penis inside your vagina.

Not America though. Prudes. The lot of them.

ArmyMedic agony auntWhy do you guys get so hung up over religion, my wife and I have different beliefs it's a healthy thing.

Now the age thing is more of a concern she is 16 and still in School I guess and you are 24, it's bordering on creepy, I personally would wait, let her finish her education, then make a move, it's not fair to get a teenage girl into an adult relationship.

If she's keen then go for it man. Depending on the state you live in, it may be illegal to do anything sexual with her.. so just be aware of that and don't go turning into a criminal.

I'll assuming there are good reasons for you being interested in her, and that you arent just some purvert :) If not, then leave her alone.

If you have sex with a 16 year old that is statutory rape, and you could suffer consequences.

You might want to check that link out.

My advice would be to forget about her and find someone more mature (and over the age of 18). If you have sex with her I can guarantee she will become clingy and you will have to consider that as well. And i'm not trying to be harsh but it doesn't matter how much you have in common, shes still a minor, and you will be held responsible.
