I recently have been talking to a girl i work with a lot shes 16 (will b 17 in a few months) i just turned 22. Im friends with every one i work with and just started off that way with her till she broke up with her b/f and he went crazy saying he was going to kill her and stuff and harassing her so i steped in and defended her keeping him away from our work and staying there late at night making sure he didnt follow her home or anything. Well along with all this i kinda started liking her and everything and got really close through all these tough times. Is this too much of an age difference at this time or should i stay with her. Do this make me look like im just wanting sex dating someone that much younger? Cause thats what i hear but its not the case im still a virgin and waiting till i get married for that what should i do give me your opinions .

5 years is not really a significant age difference for grown adults, which the two of you will eventually be. For adolescents, however, it can be a difficult obstacle to overcome. I would definitely advise you to proceed with caution. It seems like your intentions are honorable and you don't wish to take advantage of her or put yourself in a position where you'd be in trouble with the law and that's a good thing. Spend time together and see how compatible the two of you are ; that's really the most important issue above all else.

no i dont think your age difference is anything to worry about my hubby is 11 years older than me and most of my friends have at least 4 year age gaps with their b/f.go for it but make sure she is not on the rebound and shes not gonna go running bk to him.

NO age doesnt matter(in this case), and she sounds like she'd be lucky to have you. Lord knows, i still havent found my dream guy yet. 17-22 isnt that bad

Sorry, but I have to disagree here. I was 14 dating a 17 yr old. While very mature for my age, that didn't help much when he tried to rape me.

While you sound sincere, I would warn you that people will get the wrong impression because of the age difference. She may be mature and act older but a girl that age has not yet had life experience that makes you truly mature and ready for a serious relationship. Because of your age difference, you may both encounter negativity from others, so if you pursue this you should be be prepared for a negative reaction.

yes age is a number but think of this...parents and if they don't like you and know your age there will be problems...can you can say jail time and maybe smacked with the title of petifile all because she is shy of 18 yrs. old. just be careful

I am sorry you had to go through that, but it doesnt always end up that way. I have already been given enough crap over this thread, so i am just not going to speak my opinion of this topic anymore.

Ultimately, the only opinion that matters is yours. Do you think it's wrong? If you're fine with the age difference, then I say go for it. If she's mature enough then there's definently nothing wrong with it.

The parent of an underage female has the final say. And that has nothing to do with the law.
