Okay, so I am 16 years old and my boyfrient is 20. I will be 17 in September and he is turning 21 in may. If we aren't having sex and my parents agree, then is it okay for us to be together? Even though we're over 4 years apart?

My question is why is a 20 year old hanging around if there is no sex? I think there is sex you just don't want to say am I right?
It's great your not having sex, if your parents are okay with it then your okay [I'm really scratching my head on this one, as a parent I'll be damned if a 20 year old sought out my daughter].
You can date just not have sex- that means oral sex, and even making out.
I don't want to be a debbie downer-- but what do you guys have in common? How is he getting his sexual release? This guy is older, and older guys have an agenda when it comes to dating minors.

How long have you been together?
To be honest there is a problem with the age difference.. he is 20,his friends are probably between 19 and 25,or there abouts,yours are about between 15 and 17?
There are lots of things that I'm sure he can do but you cant,not just legally but the fun stuff too..
I can't imagine your parents been OK with this,although you know them better.
The fact that your posting the question makes me wonder if your OK with the age difference.
This happened to a friend of mine, she was dating a much older guy (and when you are 14 like she was, 4 years is a big gap!) and he said that he wasn't interested in sex... about a week after she said that, it got around school that he had pressured her into it and they had done it... she was branded some pretty bad names.
While you are older than my friend was it's still something to ponder...
He's a virgin and was home schooled and just isn't in to that. We've been dating 5 months now and honest, no sex. He's just an honest to good guy. My parents didn't aprove at first but then after several meetings have seen the same thing I did in him. I mean honestly, h still lives at home with his parents!Quote:

That's just my opinion,

Can you give some background as to how you met? Of course you don't have to,I'm just wondering how you got together.
Through friends,similar interests,church?
He knows EVERYBODY and everybody loves him. He's had the same job for 4 years now and just doesn't make enough to make it alone right now. Lol but I understand it from your view point. I just needed an answer on if it was okay since he's turning 21. So what do you think??Quote:

It's sort of a rite of passage for 21 year olds to go out and you will feel left behind.
Unless your having sexual contact then you'll get in trouble. That means: oral, kissing, petting, humping, etc.Quote:

I afraid I don't know the answer to that,but hopefully someone else here will be able to answer if that's what your asking.
If your relationship is sex free as you say it is, your parents approve of this guy then you have nothing to hide.Quote:

ALSO: Some states/provinces say that if the age difference is 3 years and one day or more, it is a crime
Sarah
Legally as long as there is no sexual activty (and that's defined as touching genitals) then there is no problem.
But I'm afraid I'm not sure about this. A 21 yr old who has been home schooled, still lives at home, has had the same job for 4 years and is interested in girl more than 4 years younger sets off alarm bells with me.
I suspect as you mature, his lack of maturity may not sit well with you.
I'm not saying to break up with him, but I don't see much of a future in this relationship.
Please keep in mind that love is worth waiting for, it would be safer and you'd resist temptation to be sexual if you were to be good friends.
If you guys are just dating it and NOT being sexual your doing the same this as being best friends!
If your partner won't wait until you are an adult to enter into the serious intimacy that dating brings, you need to ask yourself if he/she really cares about YOU or has other interests in mind.

He obviously wants sex and if you can't see it, you're blind.
Guys in their 20's should not be with women in high school.
Use your head please. Thanks
