Having read your discussion on here, I would like to add some input. I am a 43 year old male, I have 2 boys both twins aged 2 and so many months.... I have been close freinds with a young girl for a while. Since her 16th birthday we have talked a lot and now have become more than freinds. We both love each other and as for sex, that was the last thing on my mind. We both have loads in common, and enjoy going out and doing lots of things together. The boys love her to death, most people now know about us, it was hard at first but we have now adjusted to it. Neither of us saw this happening, it is just one of those things, where she has been there for me a lot recently through bad times with an ex. There is nothing perverse or dirty about our relationship and we both plan to be married soon. People at first were shocked but when they saw how happy we both are they have also accepted us. Although you will always get some people who are so narrow minded and just dont listen. Whether this is right or wrong we are both classed as adults and we bothb love each other, it is right for us and does work. Also we have talked about when I am older and have agreeed that when she finds it difficult to still be with me then we will live our own lives. That to me seems only fair on her...

Yes. What could a 21 year old man/woman want with a 15 year old girl/boy?? When I was 21, I was finishing up my studies at university and starting my career. The only reason I could see a 21 year old wanting to start something up with a 15 year old, is if they themselves were of the same mentality as them. Of course there are mature 15 year olds blah blah. It's just really weird to me.

It's a little bug. But that's because you're a teenager. As you get older you'll find the gap gets smaller and smaller.

It seems to make more of a difference when your younger. I mean a 47 and a 41 year old wouldn't be a difference would it?!

Personally I don't really mind about age differences and if you love them that's what matters, you only live once, whatever makes you happy etc etc that kind of attitude.

HOWEVER!!! - At that age they might want to use you in ways you might not be comfortable. Don't become a slut!! Don't let them use you!! Just be weary, but yeah go for it!

Its bigger than usual but not neccessarily too big.It all depends on what you both want from a relationship. Especially as you are just shy of 16. (the minimum legal age to have sex)

I met my last boyfriend when I was 16 and he was 21 and we were together for a couple of years.

As long as you both respect and understand each other I dont see a problem.
