writes: dear cupid,I would like to know is it wrong for a person to go out with someone who is 1-2 years younger than themselves.I recently saw this good looking girl, went over to her found out how old she is and that, she seems to be 1 year younger than me in age wise but 2 years younger in school wise (shes in years 10 and im a college student). My question is would it be wrong to pursue a relationship with her due to the age factor?P.Sshe goes to the same school as my cousinthanks for taking the time to read this

 I don't think it's wrong, per se, but depending on the state that you live sex with this girl could be considered "statutory rape." Like for instance, suppose she's 16 and you are 18, in some states this would constitute statutory rape.
You could go to jail! Research your state's laws before you pursue a sexual relationship with this girl. Find out what the age of consent is in your state. Some states age of consent is only 14, in which case you'd be okay.
Keep in mind these may be old puritanical laws, but they are still enforced, sometimes with maximum sentences, by conservative judges, to send a message to young people not to have sex.

 At the end of the day age is only a number, how a couple feels for one another far supersedes how many numbers are between them. 1-2 years is absolutely nothing, people still make relationships work with far greater age gaps than this. If you like her then i think you should go for it, and good luck.
All the best

hey, no of corse there isnt anything wrong with that, age differences are so overated, i mean look ast some adults, maybe your parents for instant, there is sometimes 5 and over age differences between people. i think you shud just go for it, who cares what people say/think its up to you what you want to do, there probably just jealous, so just ignore them and go for it, good luck in whatever you decide to do, but remember its how much you like each other than how old you are. x

 I think it's perfectly fine. I'm in year 10 and my boyfriend is a college student and we have no problems and no one says anything to us and mym mum and dad have no problems with it.
You just need to keep in mind that she isn't legally old enough to do anything and that sometimes puts people off asking someone under age out.

A college student has little in common with a 10th grader, you are on to new adventures and independence, whereas, a little 10th grader is still under mom and dad's wing as she should be....so if you want to date her, ask her parent's permission....otherwise, look in your own back yard at school for some romance.
