    Legal, yes. Smart - I'm not so sure.

    What interests do a 21 year old and a 15 year old share?

    If it was my 15 year old, it might be legal, but it would be dangerous for many other reasons than the law.

    This has been discussed many times. I know of nowhere that has laws that regulate ages for dating. However, there are laws regulating sexual intimacy and in most states 15 is under the age of consent,

    But there is a further issue here. While a 6 yr age gap may not matter when both are adults, when one is a minor it lives. The likelihood of a 21 yr old being romantically involved with a 15 yr old is very small.

    It might not be illegal to date, but illegal if you have sex, but you (as in OP) would have to ask yourself why a 21 year old is dating a 15 year old... and if you are the 21 year old... I'm still wondering.

    At such a young age, 6 years is a lot of years... I'm 25 and I think I would be hesitant to date someone who's 20/22 or under...

    Is it illegal? Possibly. Is it immoral? I think so.

    An adult and a child dating, that never ends well.

    What can a 21 year old and a 15 year old possibly have in common? Unless the 21 year old is extremely immature or a pedophile. Sorry, but to me it's very wrong.

    When I was 15 I actually dated a 27 year old. What can I say, I was a rebel. I guarantee you, no adult is interested in a child because they're interesting, it's all about getting them into bed. That big an age gap, there's no common interest.

    If a 21 year old is really interested in this child, why not wait until she/he is an adult too? After all, if it's true love then there's no harm in waiting.

    I was in this situation once - I was 13 and he was 18 - and we decided against it. Now I'm 17 and he's 22 and were considering it again - I say that if you really love each other, you should wait like I have. Not only will she be more mature, but you will have more in common.
