Then one day we were talking on A.O.L and she says, "when are you going to ask me on a date?", I didn't really know if i should pursue at the time, because i was confused and didn't know if it was right to date a 15 year old. So in simpler words, is it alright to date a 15- almost 16 year old when im 18? and we have already discussed the sex thing we are both religous people and don't believe in having sex until were married, not that we will get married.. but yea, alright i am done typing... sorry 4 the long "question" so to speak more like a story. haha, thanks for the help.

I finally did ask her out, we had a good time and I really like her alot, I can't even describe how much I like her. But yea I thankyou for the help because It was really bothering me about the age gap, and I wanted to get some opinions to see if I was doing right. I am a responsible guy and I know I should be the responsible one in the relationship because I am older and if I ever do change my mind about having sex, I will wait for her I wouldn't pressure her in any kind of way. Thankyou for your time....Bye!

Oh gosh yes!
I'm also 18 right now also, and trust me, in a few years when you two are both in your early twenties, a three or two year age gap hardly makes a difference! And even for a super religious devotee, this is honestly not a major gap. Don't worry about it and just ask her out! =)
There are times where I would disagree with any relationship - no matter the age gap - if both of the individuals are in completely different stages of life. Unless, they could come to a compromise, it usually doesn't work. For example, if you had a three year old child, and you're ready to settle down, I'd advise aganist the pairing between you two. But I'm sure you're both in the same life stage (exploring and pursing your interests), so there's no need to ponder about it.
Yet however I agree with the first poster - if you ever change your mind about saving yourself for marriage before she turns 18, just wait until she does.
