Fancy yourself as an agony aunt? Add your answer to this question! A

I say try to find a way to get out of the house and pursue your dreams. Your parents are an obstacle that I see. "Child molester? Rapist?!?!" So I take it my dad who is 61 and my mom who is 54 has a very wrong marriage then? Someone should have told them 28 years ago! [sighs]

 I think it is extremely unfair for them to even think that, let alone say it.
Ignore their comments and do what makes you happy, best of luck to you both.

 Judging by the structure of your question and how you question your morals and ethical issues, I do think somewehere along the line there is some sense to you!
I do not wish to formally insult your parents but they obviously don't want to look 'outside the box' This may be due to their upbringing or social values, my main point is...This is not your fault they are like that.
I guess your parents are just trying to protect you but in a extreme sort of way, calling you a rapist etc is just wrong! Your not a rapist or a child molsetet, your a man who is growing up and wants to explore realtionships etc, everyone does this at your age! I'm 19 and all I can think about when I go out is boys!
Your 3 years age gap is nothing, the age between my boyfriend is on a wider scale (trust me!) Your doing nothing wrong, take things slowly though, I think it may be appropriate you do let her know your parents are a lil strict, then she can expect something from them and it not come as a shock if they mildly insult her! Don't mention the rapist thing you don't want her first impression of your parents to be a bad one!
Don't end it with her just because your parents want you to, if you like her then stick by her, I'm sure they'll soon warm to it. By the way curiously...whats the age gap between your parents?
Good luck honey xx

 No, I don't think it's wrong to be dating a girl 3 years younger than you. Hopefully you two will have good times together. Don't listen to what your parents have to say, as parents aren't always right. :)
Sincerely,
