I'm a 20 year old guy, interested in a 15 year old girl. We've been talking online a lot for the last few months, and seen each other a few times. As a normal person, her mum likes me, but when it comes to seeing her daughter, she's against it.

If we have a relationship, sex wont be involved, but I'm just wondering what our legal limits are (in Australia - South Australia to be exact). Can we be together? Can we kiss? Anything further?

d e e p w i t h i n agony aunthi, I really don't think going further than friends is a good idea. you are 20 years old and she is 15, making her a minor. If you are over the age of 18, dating a minor or being sexual with a minor is against the law. I think you guys should remain friends until she is atleast 18. Right now, 5 years is a big deal because she is only 15 and is in a different stage of her life than you are. When she is 18 and you are 23, the gap seems smaller and you guys will have more in common. If you guys want to wait for eachother, go for it, it will turn out better in the end.

Thanks KC100 for clearing that up for me :)

And anonymous, I know I shouldn't go there..my mates have all told me that. But I can talk to her better than I can to anyone else, and enjoy any time with her (in person or just talkin) more than with anyone else.

I talk to some of her friends, and she's so much more mature, barely feels like i'm talkin to a 15 year old.

well KC100 has pretty much answered your main question but you have got to ask yourself why are you a man interested in a child , because she is 15 and she is still a child in the eyes of the law and her mother.

TBH I wouldnt go there at all.

k_c100 agony auntWell technically as long as you dont have any sexual contact with her at all then you will be fine. The law authorities cannot stop you from having a relationship or kissing but you could get into a lot of trouble for any sexual activity you have with her whilst she is a minor.

I hope this helps!
