writes:So I recently have been attracted to a younger gal. The thing is shes 15, and I'm 21.I've been to dinner with her family many times, and they like me a lot. They invite me to a lot of occasions, dinner and drinks every week or so. But I'm afraid of what others, and my family would think if I started to date her.I know she's 15 and here in the States its frowned upon whenever you date someone who's underage (age being 18)...SO I guess my question to you all is... What do you think of a 21 year old male dating a 15 year old female... Granted I'm not looking for sex... just a meaningful relationship, and she seems mature enough to be able to do so.

I was very mature for my age but because of our age differences we had a different mentality.Why cant you find a girl your age? You guys can't go clubbing. She's not legal to do much. Also Sex will come up and the risks are there. If you want a meaningful relationship, just be friends.

I am 15 my self and am in love with a 21 year old. we have been together almost a year now. and i think it is perfectly fine. thing being my parents do not approve so they do everything they can to get him to leave me alone. i hate it! but i believe it is fine.

Unfortunately it did end though, but that was only because he moved away to uni and we thought it was for the best, so yeah I say go for it, enjoy it, and make the most of every minute you spend together :)

No way. Just stay friends and if you cant do that then stay away entirely. She may seem mature..but she is only 15! If you start a relationship sex will come into it at some point and you will end up in a heap of trouble! If her parents had any sense they wouldn't allow it anyway. It's not right, sorry.

In most countries in the world a 21 year old guy dating a 15 year old girl would be be considered absolutely normal - almost encouraged. The problem is you American society has a serious problem with this idea but no one can give you a good reason why they think this is so wrong.
Don't feel guilty, it is entirely natural for an older man to enjoy the company of a young girl who has not been polluted with all the "boy crazy" antics that are typical of girls a few years older. Just don't get intimate with her or you'll go to jail.

 Well I am in a situation like that in a way. I am 15 and the boy is 18. It isn't about sex so I would say that it is alright. All you have to do is be careful. If anyone were to get mad at you they could say they saw you and her doing things you two shouldn't be doing (Even if you two aren't doing stuff like that) so you just have to keep the relationship on the DOWN low and you should be fine. Also, sit down and talk to her parents about it, gain there trust when it comes to you being with her.

Just think about this... Her parents and family like you now. What happens when something happens and her daddy isn't happy about it? It just takes one phone call to have you put away for a long time whether you did anything or not! Just be careful!
Yes a 15 year old can be mature but don't you want someone that you can be with and not have to take care of? I was 15 once and I was extremely mature for my age after everything that I had been through. She could be your best friend but it really isn't worth the risk of 3 squares and a cot is it?
Take it slow just hang out and when she is 18 and you are still into her go for it! Just watch out for you!
