My dad won't let me hold his hand.It's really stresful for my parents to just see the age difference, when me and him don't mind at all. Is it illegal to go out with some one who's 18?

Wow it's amazing on how many people date older guys like me im 13 and i date guys who are like 17 and there aint nothing wrong with it just because they are older don't mean they always want sex other people who don't see that sometimes it's alright to date older guys are just hating on the fact that they have bad relationships or don't have someone 2 feel the same way about them as our boyfriends feel about us i don't think anything is wrong neither does my boyfriend sure parents are worried but the reason we date older guys is because were mature and last of all we can handle it

alright I'm 13 going to be 14 in July, i like this 18yr old and he likes me a lot, he will be going off to college soon and we have talked bout dating and stuff,and he told me that we didn't have to have sex but i know at some point its going to happen. my mom knows about it and he has talked to her and she lets him come over and stuff but i can tell she is till uncomfortable about it all and unsure,but i really like him and care for him a lot. his friends don't really like that we hangout and he is good friends with my older brother. i can tell that he is uncomfortable when my brother is around when we hangout,likes he acts different around my family but when hes with me he cant keep his hands off me:)

I'm in a similar situation. I'm 13 (one month shy of 14) and he's nearly 18 :/. We were together last yr but our parents found out and it wasn't too good tbh! .. We are texting again and i really really really love him, couldn't want anyone else. You are lucky your parents are allowing you to go out with him, I'm too scared to tell mine this time as i'm afraid of the answer :Lx

reader, anonymous, writes (31 May 2008): HEY,
Ummmm....yea its VERY illegal but only if you do things you shouldnt be doing with him and sence your parents dont approve they might try to get him in trouble with the law and I know from experence that is not what you want to say when someone you look up to ask "why isnt your boyfriend with you?". I had a similar situation a few months ago with am older guy that I was dating. He was 16 and I had just turned 13 (im almost 14 now) but everyone hated our age diffrence. So when my 18 year old brother caught us.... well you know, he called the law on him. He was in jail for about 2 weeks untill I talked my family out of dropping the charges. If your wondering why im telling you this its just to let you know that we were lucky to get out of all that. So just be careful!!! Oh yea and happy birthday!!

my mum does
i found it easyer too tell somebody
if you realy love each other then it doesnt matter as much but just cheak he isnt using u 4 sex be careful
i think my boy friend is although we never have had sex sit your boyfriend down talk to him if he loves you that much then maybe its better too wait a year or 2 then your parents dont really have a say in i do they
if you think u r going 2 cope with your parents keep nagging about him then go ahead girl and try and reach what u want
but promise me u will be carefull and dont do anything you dont want 2.

Well he says this but he is with another woman that has a baby by another man. He is going to help her take care of it. You should add me on msn so we can talk: [REMOVED]. We are going through the same things and my mom freaked out too. She was so mad, it made me mad too.(Mod Note: email addresses and other contact information will be removed.

Sure you can date and all, (hey, you're both teenagers, right?) but wait until you hit the age of consent before doing anything "extra". This is usually 16-17. It can be as high as 18 or even higher so check your laws for the state or country you live in .

We were the cutest thing ever according to all of our friends. He broke it off -- because he thought it was illegal, dating and all, i don't want to see you get hurt -- even though i don't know you.I wish you luck, really.

Think about it holding hands will turn into holding each other and that will turn into having sex. YOU ARE ONLY 12 GOING ON 13 if you get pregnant now or in the near future you will be having a kid at 14 or 15 are you ready for that. YOU ARE A KID YOURSELF. Use your head girl, go for someone your own age or wait til you grow up.

I know what you're talking about I'm 13 coming 14 and I know you want to feel like you can do anything with him, but please if he ever pushes you into sex even when you are 16 and maybe still be going out with him, chuck him. You want to have sex because you want to, not because you're pressured into it.

its legal to go out with him but sex is not. young men his age are usually after a little more than holding hands, please oh please dont sleep with him! wait till you're at least 16 and do it with someone your own age who isnt too old to intimidate you - i can see exactly where your parents are coming from - i can imagine that having a daughter at your age with a guy at his is devastating for your parents!

 I worry about the motives of someone his age, who would date someone your age. He has to know that sex with you is illegal in almost every country in the world and that he can be thrown in jail for it. It doesn't make any sense or him to pursue you, unless he's hoping to take advantage of a very young person's innocence and vulnerability and trusting that you won't tell anyone about it.He should be dating young women his own age, and, in my book, you shouldn't be dating anyone at all, yet.Your folks are just looking out for you. Although you might think you have all the answers, you might find out the hard way that you're diving into the "deep end of the pool" without knowing how to swim. They suspect your boyfriend of the same things I suspect him of. And your parents just want to make sure that you don't end up heartbroken, pregnant or both.Listen to what they say... they've been there and they know whereof they speak.

personally babe i think he's bang out of order and i think it's a bit inappropriate as a relationship. I am not being a patronising cow becasue i have been there done it worn the t-shirt. I have always been into older guys (even now!) and while you may be able to hack it short term- even if you are comfortable to have sex with him (even though its illegal) it is inevitable that at some point he wil move on faster than you ie..get a great job flat whatever, his needs will change and the next thing you know you are dealing with a broken heart even though ilitially the relationship was right for him. Also being younger how can you keep tabs on him? I ended up at the clinic when i was 16 which was not fun becasue he had been with lots of girls behing my backPLUS !!! with the greatest respect in the world- even if you have a womanly body doesn't it freak you he is attracted to a more child like body? That would totally freak me! The bottom line is you are still a minor he isnt and therefore its not really on.If its sexual experimenting you want- find a guys whos younger and enjoy finding out what its all about together! You dont have to have full blown sex to have fun!PLUS personally i dont think a woman should ever have sex unless she is definatly going to get an orgasam - so enjoy finding out what thats all about on your own rather than letting and 18 year old over sexed jerk mess you up.Ps if you are going to ignore all this anyway PLEASE use a condom!!!!!

Its sick imo.5 yrs is abit of a gap, but if you love each other that isn't an issue.An 18 yr old cant have a proper love relationship without having a sexual side to it, and 13 is likely to be under age in your country which is illegal, in the UK it is 16.OK, it might not be sexual at all and no law should stop you using your own body to do what you want to do. With no disrespect to yourself, im sure you are pretty, good personality, gr8 to talk to etc. and even though at 13 you are going through puberty, he has developed alot and you have not, i dont just mean private parts i mean also emotional, experience, more grown up etc. it leaves the big question (i am sure your nice, but) why is he going with a 12/13yr old when he can go with someone his age or older?? Where sex is legal?? If you are in the UK you would be in yr8/9 i believe at school and he would be at work/college/uni/6th form??Is he also seeing someone else his own age??Anyway, wish you luck, i hope you understand you're parents are being cautious and are looking out for your safety and well-being even though they seem just to be mean, alot of people in that situation the older bloke takes advantage etc. of the alot younger girl and then leave and break the girls heart, even though this probably isn't the case, I advise you to wait for sex til you are more developed and the legal age. As a young person myself (18) I understand all this Age Discrimination stuff, age is just a number, but when you are older you get more wiser as you understand more by experience...so some of these questions i asked are for you to be wary...and not a criticism, im trying to be nasty to be nice (a). (people done that sort of being mean/stab at me before and at the time i was like "what a tw*t", but looking back you think s/he was right..s/he was only tryin to open my eyes more (if you know what i mean)[with the exception of teachers])An example, the last two years i have made mistakes at doing business deals, at the time i thought i was doing right, now looking back i think what an idiot i was, and im sure this is the same with everyone when they look back overtime on anything like relationships etc.
