In Delaware, Romeo and Juliet law is only applicable to someone aged 15 or younger. You're 16, so in this case it wouldn't apply. As you're 16 and your boyfriend is aged under 30, then sexual intercourse wouldn't be considered a crime and he wouldn't go to prison. Saying all of that, this guy broke up with you purely for the reason that he wasn't going to be able to legally have sex with you. Before getting back together with him, you might want to consider exactly how he sees this relationship and what he wants from it....Show more

So, you're ready to be a mother in less than a year all by yourself? Because he'll be long gone the minute he has sex with you. No 19 year old guy worth being anywhere near wants a 16 year old girl for anything other than getting there first- he wants to have sex with a virgin. Once he's done that, he'll be a ghost. He doesn't care about you, and he's creepy.
Where are your parents? Someone's not doing their job. You need to make much better choices, or your life is going to be a big struggle.
Do better for yourself, and stay away from anyone who wants you to have sex with them now. Here's a hint: if you need to check the law to see if someone will be a SEX OFFENDER, you're in the wrong place entirely....Show more

There's no "Romeo & Juliette" law. Your former bf is smart to wait - smarter than you....Show more
