writes: dear cupid,soo, i think there's a chance that i might be going crazyy. on saturday, i was at the mall with a friend, and we ended up meeting three of her friends and hanging out with them for a while. one of those friends happened to be this incredibly gorgeous guy (he kind of looks like a dark-brown-haired version of steling knight, if that tells you anything). my first impression of him was that he was also veryy sweet; he had a good sense of humor and a lot of peppiness.that night, he texted my friend and asked her for my number, and i allowed her to give it to him. he texted me not too long after that, and we talked nearly all night long...as well as sunday night. i have yet to hear from him today, but i'm expecting that i probably will before it's all said and done.i've got to say, texting him is AWESOME. he's veryy creative in coming up with conversations, he's got a lot of the qualities that i look for in a guy, and he's even gotten a little flirty from time to time.the problem? he's fifteen. i'm nineteen. specifically, there's a little over three and a half years separating us in age. you would never know it, though, because he's really mature and actually looks older than what he is.i could picture myself dating this guy if he wanted to date me, and i kind of think that he's going to want to someday (he told my friend that he thinks i'm cute...and like i said, he's been flirty with me). but i know that it would be really risky to do so. i, personally, don't really care about the age difference (a couple years back, i actually dated a guy that was just a few months older than this guy), but like i said...i know that dating him would be risky.i know that it's not exactly considered illegal until you have sex...soo, if we DID wind up dating and remained abstinent, would we be in the clear? or could there still be trouble? also, what is the age of consent for males in texas? and if you were in my shoes, what would YOU do???thanks.33

Don't date. It doesn't matter if he's mature or looks older than he is. Law says you'll be convicted as a sex offender. I'm sure you don't want that, right?

reader, anonymous, writes (15 February 2011): You could be setting yourself up to be a convicted sex offender. a 19 year old dating a 15 year old has happened before and the girl was convicted of a felony and has to register as a convicted sex offender. It was consentual, but the state in question considered it rape, regardless of what the boy said in court.
run away, far away... and research the law in your state (and do NOT cross state lines!)
