Ok well, on Friday night, I hooked up with this guy and now we're dating. :3 he's amazing but he's seventeen and I'm only 16. Is that illegal or something? I want to know because whenever I speak about him to my mum, she gives me this like 3 hour lecture on how I'm too young/ maybe if I were sixteen, etc. (It may not seem like many different things to rant for but she finds a way). Sooooo any advice would definitely be appreciated. Oh and from my last two questions about what I should do about my boyfriend, well we broke up and I haven't gone for that guy that I like either. So yeah, thank you :)

Oops I meant I'm only 15

Not a real big age difference, but it is up to your mom if you can date, if she will not give permission then it is illegal for him to date you

[BridgeOfLight97]

That sucks... But thanks, needed an answer.

[J_9]

You hooked up with him? Does that mean you had sex?

[BridgeOfLight97]

Hahahaha, no!! I am so not ready for that yet, and I'm underage anyway :) I just mean that we made out and were ummm dancing at bluelight, which is this kind of dance thing for under 17's.

So you met a guy Friday and you're dating him already. Did you know him before Friday?
I agree with your mom, you are too young to date.

[J_9]

I am a mother of a young girl myself and yes, your mother is right. You are too young to date.

[BridgeOfLight97]

-_- I've dated guys before you know, when I was 14, I dated a 16 year old. And yes, I knew him before then, he's a nice guy

I just mean that we made out .

What does "made out" mean? Any sexual activity, even touching outside of clothes can have serious consequences.

But the bottom line is your parents set the rules.

[BridgeOfLight97]

Parent* just one. And I just mean kissing, no touching. I'm not a slut you know.

I didn't say you were. You actually sound like have a good head on your shoulders where sex is concerned, unlike a lot of children your age.

[BridgeOfLight97]

So I've been told.

[C0bra_M3nace]

Bottom line here is, your mother is your legal guardian. She feeds you, supports you and gives you a place to sleep. You would do well to listen to what she says.

[LOLlover]

Coming from a teen perspective if you only met him on Friday you don't really know much about him.Maybe chat to your mum and be adult about the conversation and maybe she'll understand better

The illegal age would be 18, under that is fine. It is your mothers decision on whether you will be able to date him while living under her roof.

[BridgeOfLight97]

The illegal age would be 18, under that is fine..

Thank you! That's all I actually wanted to know, whether it was legal or not.

How do you figure that under 18 is fine?

[BridgeOfLight97]

How do you figure that under 18 is fine?

How do you not?

[asompur]

How do you figure that under 18 is fine?

I think you've taken my comment the wrong way. I meant it as in it wouldn't be illegal. You are considered an adult once 18 years old. Under 18 the person is a minor.

Example: a person that's 15yrs. Dating someone that's 18yrs would NOT be fine
Example: a person 15yrs old dating a 16yr old WOULD be fine
Example: a person 20yrs old dating a 19yr old WOULD be fine
