Most likely her parents will not want you to, so unless they give permission to "date" you can not.

And from a honest opinion, no you should not, a 19 year old has no business at all dating a child. If you do, and it leads to sex, you go to jail for a long time, and many in the jails have kids and don't like child rapists in there.

Hello Todd:

It's not illegal, but it's not a good idea.

It is illegal to have sex with a person who is at least 2 years younger than you and more so because you (male) are an adult. By law, you can go to jail, even if she consents.

This was shown on a daytime talk show. The guy was 17 and the girl was 16; they were boyfriend and girlfriend. He went to jail. Even if the parents do not press charges, the District Attorney can.

My advice is to check your local, state and federal statutes before you end up in JAIL.

It all depends on each state, country, province. Just depends on the laws of the land and they are different where ever you go.

My answer is the same as Fr Chuck. What are you doing with a 14 year old? You have no business dating a child.

Come on......

I was 17 and dated a 13 year old - but we never had sex - so NO it is not illegal and NO you can not go to jail - YOU MUST NOT SCREW UP or you will be in jail for a few years, and even if today she will lie - she might change her mind in a few months or after you guys break up and then you are in JAIL.

Good luck treat her well.

Her parents can stop you if they want. She is under their care until she is 18. I am not an attorney, but I am sure that you being an adult and her a minor if they prohibt you from seeing her you will be breaking some type of law. At the very least contributing to the delinquency of a minor if not more. Talk to your local police station. Also if you make out with her kiss, or touch her that is considered sexual contact. If you stick any of your body parts into her vagina, anus or mouth that will be considered rape. So my advice to you would be unless they like and trust you back off. Even if they accept the relationship. If that is the case I hope that you are very disciplined because if you have any type of sex with her, mom and dad may get angry and press chartges or if you pi$$ of the girl friend she can yell rape.

Thank you jesus I need all the help I can get. Lol you did startle me though ,my mom was a holy roller if you know the term. Oh,and she still is one. 666 was a big no! No!

Most 14 year olds do not understand true love. They are still in the infatuation and puppy love stage.

Before anyone bashes me, I have raised 3 14 year olds.

They just don't comprehend the complexities of true love at this stage in their lives. Sure many may claim to "be mature" for their age, but in all honesty it is not possible.

14 year olds and 19 year olds are in 2 totally different developmental stages in life.

I tell yeah, if a 19 year old boy came to our house to see my daughter right now, he'd be looking down a barrel if dad answered the door.

And I'm not even addressing the sex.

There is a 19 yr old boy who was hanging around my little sister and her friends. This kid only dates 13 & 14 yr old girls. My parents, my step sister (23), my brother (30), my husband and I all had a problem with this - not to mention all my guy friends saying there is something just not right with this. The most common question is what does a 19 year old have in common with a 13/14 year old girl? If you have sex you could end up in jail. And it's generally not a good idea to date a child when you are legally an adult. You two are in two different stages of mental development and at 14 she doesn't know what "love" is in the same sense that you might. I was a 14 year old girl once and I can honestly say that looking back, I didn't know what love was at that age.

Hello again, Todd:

I don't know about you, but when I was 19 I was trying to boff anything that walked. I'll bet you're not toooooo different than that.

Therefore, I reiterate my earlier advice. It's NOT a good idea.

PS> I'm 64 now, and STILL trying to boff anything that walks.
