I'm really quite fond of her as i have been freinds with her family for many years, but i met her only a year ago.Though i did find her attractive, and she admitted she did too, we left it at that cos of her age. I've recently started chatting to her again cos she comes into my place of work often, and we just seem to click. Any advice on this would be much appreciated. Reply to this Question

In England, I think you're both legal. So I guess figure out where you two stand on the maturity level to figure it out if you really want to pursue this. And what would her parents think? Would that cause any undue drama? Also remember that you've got some maturing to do and she's got a bit more. If this lasts, you might not recognize each other mentally by the end and break up. And can you handle breaking up and risking a friendship with both her and the family?

 honestly it is not alright to be dating a girl who is 16 you can go to jail on many diffrent charges...Even if someone heard it and truned you in for it and you both say no i am not with her, or no we did not have sex they will watch you and see what you do and if they see you with this girl your ass will be in jail. but if you want to take that chance and be with her go ahead but just be careful about it. go to www.google.com age limits for dating and it will give you a chart in your state. trust me i am the last one who cares about age gap, my husband is 25 and i am 18 i was dating him when i was 17. but just dont worrie about others worrie about yourself and what to do with this girl

 I'm a 16 year old girl with a boyfriend who's 27. I think that only you can decide whether you're willing to take it on. I don't think that the age gap would be much of a problem, but I think that there will be people who will come on here and think " woah! That's weird."
If you like her that much then it won't matter what people think. I think that if you talk to her about it and say "I've started to have feelings for you" And see how she feels about it.
If you are both happy to start a reltionship, I don't think there is a problem. If you're happy, who cares what anyone else thinks?
See how it goes after you've spoken to her.
Take care xx
