it doesn't matter if you are a woman or a man, if he or she is under 18 you should not have sex by law.
now, there is what's called consensual relationship. if he wants to... then let him know that it's very important that he keeps it a secrete. that's all

I in missouri and one of my friends lost her virginity at 14 to an 18 year old and her parents couldn't press charges cause the age of concent is 14. plus there is this thing called the romeo and juliet law or something. IDK. you will just have to do some research.

 I don't think it is illegal, theres only four years difference, I think sexually it could be a little weird. Would she really be with him forever, because it might not be worth thinking to deeply about.

Not illegal, but I'm not sure it's advisable, since she is under the age of consent and you don't want to end up in trouble.

No it's not illegal for an 18 year old to date a 15 year old but it is illegal for him to engage in any sexual activity with her.

Usually it's illegal for an adult to date a minor. You need to look up the laws wherever you live, it can give you better info than we could.
