dating: would you care?

[MadaraUchiha449]

would you care if a 17 year old and a 14 year old dated?

[-Carnage-]

its their life....let them do what they want.....IMO

[Nazivon]

No. They're not so far in age. If would be my son/daughter, I would agree.

[Hipster Madara]

No.
But the 14 yr old is obviously being deceived.

[DeathByHugs]

Personally, no, because I'm 14 and gone much older than that ._.

[Black Flames]

No

[Seraphîm]

It's kinda weird... but they can do whatever they want.

[-Tsuki]

Only 3 years of difference and both passed the age of puberty.
Well if they both were older then it would be more 'normal' I guess. (I don't see what's wrong with that)
Personally, I wouldn't care.

[Iruka]

There are adults who are have much greater age differences and yet still maintain healthy relationships. The only problem I see here is that the maturity difference between 14-17 and 40-43 is simply phenomenal. Neither a 14 year old or a 17 year old are overly mature and I don't think it would turn out well. The 17 year old is more likely to push a 14 year old into something prematurely.

I don't agree that they're passed puberty at this stage. The 17 year old may be close to being physically developed but the 14 year old isn't. That and mentally/socially they're still children.

[Narutohokage7]

No, its only 3 years. I don't go 3 years out of my age for dating. Its a rule.

[Kirikoe]

no its not a problem it all depends one there respect for one another.... there are much larger ages gaps in this world, they should be free to do as they please

[Prince of Persia TTT]

I have no problem whatsoever unless limits are not crossed

[From the Dark Spire]

It is allowed. I have friends going through this.

[Jack Spicer]

I wouldn't do it, I believe. I don't care if others do. Like others said, in good points, the age difference isn't that bad, but the maturity could be.

[rikerslade]

Would it matter if they were 24 and 21?

The only issue I see is when one turns 18. That's babysitting at that point, not dating.

[Shiina..]

As long it isn't MY life.. I don't give a .. Flower.. about it

[Rozzy]

Once their maturity is nearly on the same scale.

[Mizutoki]

I was 17 and my gf was 14 when we got together. I'm in college now and she is still in High School. O .O

[UchihaBrat]

Hmm... I think the 'adult way of life' is creeping its way down to younger and younger generations, that is what disturbs me, though let me put it like this: If people want to delude themselves about love, then let them.

It's their responsibility, though I doubt they understand it completely, and if they end up regretting it or getting hurt, then that's that.
I, as an older person however, whom actually believe myself to have some insight in what people usually refer to as 'love', if I may be so bold, wouldn't court a young person's delusions on what love is, was this about me, that is.
I can't honestly think of any young person I've met ever giving me the impression of understanding this matter very well, which might just be my ignorance though.

So, it's not a question about 'ok or not?', but rather, it's their business, not mine.

[neilson]

its totally cool if they date cause its their life but i would care if they have sex and she's tell someone about it! He should wait till she's 16

[Sasunarufan13]

If there's consent and they are happy, why would I care? *shrugs* It's their lives

[Suigetsu13]

Wasnt Romeo 18 and Juliet 14?? No problem for Shakespere, No problem for me.

[javu]

You should look up your state's law. In my state it's illegal for an adult (18+) to date someone under 16. So if one of you turns 18 and the other is still 14...

[-God of War-]

No. Why would I? Only 3 years difference. +That...what ta f- is this?! Are you jelous about your friend that you did this thread?!

[kisamexRocks]

im 20 and my gf is 31. :/
