Hi

I'm currently trying to get with a 15 year old girl who I've just recently re-met after a couple of years apart. I can imagine that people are gonna say our ages differences are not too extreme. Nevertheless, I was just wondering what other peoples opinions were on people of our particular ages in a relationship. I would also like to ask the advice regarding age the age of consent in Britain.

I know this sounds like a silly question, seeing as though i've read queries on other forums where for example - the writer who is in their late 20s is wondering if it's ok for them to be in a relationship with someone at about 16. I'm just very curious as to how other people see things..

Thanks!

I have a 15 year old daughter who has an 18 year old man wanting to go out with her. I do not think this is healthy. He has told her he is happy to wait until she is 16 to have sex with her, which makes me feel he is being predatory. 15 year old girls need to be left to concentrate on their school work and those teenagers that have left school should seek relationships among their own peer group and not hunt down school girls who can be easily impressed by a boy/man with a car and some cash to be flash with.

Hi, I understand the age of consent in Britain is 16, and you are about 17 and trying to "get with" a 15 year old girl.

I don't think you are too old to be her friend or to take her out on a date if her parents allow, however, I think you should forget about having sex with her, she is too young for that in any country....the best relationships are those that begin in friendship, you can still have romance, but sex at her age is not healthy for her body even though her hormones may be telling her otherwise as she will be at risk for cervical cancer in her future, and unwanted pregnancy is always a possibility, are you ready to support a child? Also, girls are much more likely to bond very strongly with you after sex and are vulnerable to being heart broken if you don't return the feelings and offer a commited relationship...at your age I think it is a whole lot more fun to just be dating.

That is my two cents, thanks for listening.
